Hi everybody, This is a months work, and it's finally done! It's a 2D games engin based on GDI+ for graphics and text, and BASS for sound. It's pretty simple to use, and there is a complete and clear documentation (generated by Natural docs) Link

Unfortunately I haven't used this UDF myself. I hope someone else who has already done this can help you - good luck!

I'm completely blown away by that sentence. People accuse me of having an ego yet you try to tell me what an example is supposed to do? Me? The person who's been working on AutoIt since 2004? Me, the current project leader? Just... wow. Anyway. No, the examples are not meant to show all properties of functions. That's information overload. Showing every possible permutation on how to invoke a function does more harm than good. If a user doesn't know how to correctly use a function (a reasonable assumption if they are looking at the example) then how are they going to know which of the many examples is the one they need? Furthermore, how are they ever going to learn how to read and interpret the documentation and apply that in the language if they have their hand held through everything? It's far more productive to teach users the basics so get a good foundation and begin to recognizing the patterns on their own. From there they should be able to use the function in other ways without seeing additional examples. Otherwise they are not ready to use the function in other ways because they still lack basic knowledge. I haven't even touched on the actual calls you're making in the examples. Calls to devcon? In @ScriptDir? That's not going to work, of course, which means you've provided a broken example. Or it won't work because the device ID is different for the user's NIC. Or it will work and disable the user's NIC. What the fuck!? The last one dumps the help text for Registry Editor to a file in @ScriptDir. By default @ScriptDir will be something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\" which is protected so you're really sending the output to the Virtual Store. A million Picards in a million parallel universes just Double-Picard-Facepalmed at the examples you provide.
