Well, Recently I've been reading demos on DMCGI and reading the guide on world/topic(). I really got the hang of it now! But, I want to write a byond related website with demos/tutorials. Would anyone be interested in writing tutorials for the site?

Topics include:

A) Pixel Art (With Pictures, of course!)
B) Basic Programming (Learning basic say verbs, reading about procs and what they do etc)
C) Advanced Programming (Learning how to put programming together to make a game)

I'm really looking to contribute more tutorials for newbies here on the site.

We all can admit that the current ranking system is mediocre. What we really need is an option to "review" games with comments and a 5 star option.

Members could rate the game with 1-5 stars and have to write at least a paragraph on why they think this game deserves that amount of stars.

Then the BYOND system could take all of the star-ratings those games received and give it an official score of "[number] out of 5 stars!"

I think this system would be better than the current BYOND Rank: [number] system.

Well, Like some of the developers in the community I managed to get ahold of 3.5++(Byond 4.0) The only new features I noticed was that the map could be resized and a nice few features in the icon editor. Is this all that's going to be in 4.0? What happened to full-screen maps, Full customization of panels etc? If this is all that's in 4.0, I'm really disappointed.


However, I leave you with this as proof:

It's really amazing how non-technical alot of the BYOND community really is. The message for a couple of hours was "Byond central is not accessible". Well Gee wiz guys, I wonder what that could mean? We have about 10 posts on the forum of the most illiterate people yelling "MY BYUND IZNT WORKUNG Y IZ BYOND DOWN I WUNT TO PLY MY GAMEZ PLZ". I think that byond needs more in-depth explanations for the users who don't understand. Instead of saying "Byond isn't accessible" Why not say "Byond isn't accessible [click] here for details" Then list the reasons why BYOND hub isn't accessible That would stop posts like these:
