bigfoot547: since you seem to be working through methods pages, do you know if there is either any guidance on, or have you had any thoughts about, the level of information that should be provided for examples? |

Shara |
I checked a few things last night for amod I was working on, and those they did have examples they weren't very helpful for me because the intent of the example code wasn't explained to give me any context |
| 08:43 |
Shara |
and though they* |

Maybe it's just me, but in any documentation I worked on practice has been to introduce and explain an example so a reader better understands it |

The more the merrier, but it has to be an acceptable license (the example code) -- and its author should be approached and asked for permission if possible. |
| 15:48 |
jas_ |
but yeah, definitely more example code for sure |
| 15:50 |
Shara |
jas_: I'm thinking less about more examples and more about explaining what they do so that it's easier to understand the code |
| 15:50 |
Shara |
Otherwise, the example can end up being little better than the definition that comes before them |
| 15:50 |
Shara |
examples* |
| 15:51 |
Shara |
And if I add any examples myself, it will likely be my own code, since I'm too lazy to go looking :D |
| 15:52 |
jas_ |
ye same here. |
| 15:53 |
Shara |
It's generally just quicker and easier to write one directly |

Shara |
And almost finished the mod I'm working on... so can hopefully get back to editing then. |

lumberJ |

you can demand an account by sending a message to Calinou: either here with a PM or on the forum |
| 20:36 |
Calinou |
hi |
| 20:36 |
Krock |
and sure, helpers are (almost) always welcome |
| 20:36 |
lumberJ |
ok, since I see you online, Calinou, I'd like to request a wiki account :) |
| 20:36 |
Calinou |
lumberJ: PM me your email address and desired username, /msg Calinou <message here> |
| 20:36 |
lumberJ |
will do |
| 20:37 |
Calinou |
I can create both a regular account (wiki.minetest.net) and dev account (dev.minetest.net), they are separate installations so they need different accounts |
| 20:37 |
Krock |
just use the same password for everything. problem solved. /s |
| 20:39 |
lumberJ |
sure Krock, I always just use "password" :P |
| 20:39 |
lumberJ |
or occasionally '12345' |
| 20:39 |
lumberJ |
:D |
| 20:40 |
Krock |
programmers start with 0 |
| 20:41 |
Krock |
except those with Lua and Mathlab |
| 20:59 |
Calinou |
my server uses "123" as default password :P |
