@Shdwy Where’s your guide?

[Theaxolotl]

Nice guide! You may also want to put the idea-catalog tag on it. But idk if that really fits or not,

[Haiasi]

They aren’t really ideas though…
Also, the game-mechanics tag is unused.
(I think most if not all tags in #game-___ are unused.)

[Blizzy]

Yeah, I removed it

[getrithekd]

Shdwy’s “guide” isn’t a guide. It’s a brainstorming post that aims to reduce the memory usage on Apollo’s text entry system.

Um, @Blizzy, I was already working on an ultimate guide, but it gives a wording tutorial and a gif or video of how to make it at the end of each guide. Can I edit your guide? I am thinking to change the wording, so anyone making the chat wouldn’t get confused. Thank you!

[ABCD]

And not include links to tutorials.

[cheesebox]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t this be a resources post?

[ABCD]

Resources are for people to read and understand, but here is basically just all previous posts linked together.

[cheesebox]

Oh, I see. So this is different since it’s a chronological compilation of the improvements made over time?

[ABCD]

No, that would most likely be wip or wiki, but mostly wip this was made at once, linking other posts, but I think tug would be good.

[gimmaster12345]

Is this a tug?

[wingwave]

Isn’t this more of a resources page than a tug?

[gimmaster12345]

True, this is a resources

this guide is a really kool chat system guide pls add

How to make a Neon KeyBoard

Introduction This guide will (hopefully) be a useful tool to anyone seeking to make a fully functional chat system for their Gimkit games. However, this guide may not be for everyone, as it uses many blocks, and therefore takes up an unholy amount of storage space that you may need for other parts of your map. It is also somewhat complicated, and a creative novice may require more practice and experimentation with blocks before tackling this guide. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s talk ab…

It is technically there,

@Shdwy’s Concept:

Text entry is a long-awaited feature in the game, with the only current text entry field being questioner kits. Now, these kinda work, but they aren’t very good for a chat system, per se. Now, @Apoll02 already made a keyboard with their post How to make a Neon KeyBoard, but it used an absolutely colossal amount of memory, and was incredibly impractical in an actual map. However, I have a much simpler alternative that doesn’t require anywhere near as much memory. This is going to follow a new g…

[Apoll02]

I need to change the name of my post back now that I’m TL3… It was actually the earliest chat guide. Also, yeah, this should be resources. (can I change it?)

[Blizzy]

@ABCD Yes, of course you can edit this!
