Dear Daily Clickers!
I was thinking of making an application called "What every clicker should know", but I don't really know what to write. So I though anyone here could give suggestions, so please feel free to suggest anything you think every clicker should know.
Thank you for your time and please continue visit joNickArt Entertainment Website: http://www.jonickart.tk/
Correction - Using always events to manage the positioning of every single element in an application is evil - Put them all in a group that is only active when the app size changes NOT ALL THE TIME.

A clicker should know how to use a mouse
And he should know what an extension is.
And he should know where to get extensions.
And he should know pacmen, breakouts and tetrises aren't original.
And he should know to obey green... when he feels like it.
Every clicker should know how to make games with scrolling.
Every clicker should quit using KNP (we are not in the clicker stone-age)
Evry klikr shouldnt talk lik this n thre gamez.
Fine Garbage since 2003.
CURRENT PROJECT:
-Paying off a massive amount of debt in college loans.
-Working in television.
Every klicker should know the following.
-Not to be a victom of tons of unfinished games.
-Know fastloops
-Know INI
-Know that most default movements suck and are buggy
-Know strings and values
-And to know that you shouldnt expect not to get flamed if your game isnt good and you post it here.
I believe that every clicker should know about the importance of creating an "engine" then copying and pasting it for different levels, etc. It makes things organized, efficient, changable, and understandable.
EDIT:
"Every clicker should quit using KNP (we are not in the clicker stone-age"
"Every klikker should know that MMF is better than TGF, no nonsense about interfaces"
How about just: every clicker should know about the clickteam products and which one is best for them.
Every kliker should know that the built-in platform movement sucks.
Every kliker should know that enemy AI is better than enemy path movement, no matter how terrible the AI is.
Every kliker should know that MMF crashes a lot in the picture editor.
Every kliker should know how to negate a condition
Every kliker should know that TGF/MMF reads events from top to bottom and reads actions in the events in order from which they are put in. Also, MMF reads behaviors of objects after executing events inside the event editor.
Every Clicker should know that resized objects usually look bad.
Every klikker should know...
-How to use sine and cosine to make aimers/circles
-How to make custom movements
-How to use the Fastloop, INI, arrays, and Blowfish extension.
-How to make a level editor
-Val(), Str$(), Int(), Mid$(), and ATan() * 180 / 3.14159
Every clicker needs to;
-Learn how to reply with something different then Every clicker...

Weston: most klikkers should know basic trigonometry. Most of what you need to know is that you use sine for y-values and cosine for x-values. The ATan() * 180 / 3.14159 is a formula that finds the angle between two objects and converts it to degrees (example: ATan( ( Y("2")-Y("1") ) / ( X("2") - X("1") ) ) * 180 / 3.14159)
