it could be pretty damn useful though considering how easily things can get out of hand if you decide to start throwing objects around liberally.
It's a pity Tigerworks' A to Z of click died ages ago (as far as i'm aware) that had some great information on how the runtime works.

A postmortem sounds like a good idea. There's a lot to write about! I did a lot of optimization and there were things that we had to eventually cut from the game. So I'm sure it would be valuable if I explained all of the techniques that I used in creating the game with Brian.
I might also do a series of articles based on things you might not know how to use, or things you might not realise are very useful - like what jthongbai said.
I'll work on something Keep the ideas coming.

One thing I could never work out years go when I was trying to make an RPG was an inventory displayed as the Item name and Amount of those items, This could then be sorted by amount.
That's also something that would be useful for a leader board in a sports game

AndyUK - Check out the example that I made for [EclektiK] at the top of this frame. It shows scores associated with a player's name and how to order them by number.

Flowcharts! .. LoL! ... I took a college class on flowcharting. It confused the hell out of me, but I was the only one in the class to get an A.
Still don't exactly understand the damn things. What exactly is the point of flowcharting? It seems to confuse more than it actually helps.
You should make an article about Flowcharting! ... omg.
It's pretty bad when you get an A for a class that you never even learned anything in, but that's what happened. I put the right shapes and lines and text together, but if you asked me to flowchart something right now, there's almost no chance that I would be able to.
All those other ideas are good too.

i just made a super random avatar php script.
the old one had a lot of constraints
-pics had to be named numbers from zero to n. 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., n
-script url had to have a ?max=n peramerter so it new how many pictures were in the directory.
-all pictures had to be of the same file extension
the new one removes all those constraints
-pictures can be named anything
-pictures can be any image file type
-script url takes no perameters (it determines itself the number of images)
ill write up a readme/installer soon and include source files. all you have to do is change a single value in the script to get it to work with your own host (the value is the url to the directory the script is in on your host). then link to the php script instead of putting an image url for your avatar. should work with any forum that doesnt require the link to be an image link.

I think flowcharting can be useful, it really depends on how complicated your coding is.
Also, remember that it is not common to be using a lot of "IF, THEN, IF NOT, OR" sort of programming in MMF.
I think I remember there was an extension that let you use those commands somehow?
