The Most Comprehensive Coding Guide on RPGuild > [sub][color=green]( And for bloody sake bookmark this before you come to me crying about why your code is broken. Thank you very much. )[/color][/sub][/b][/color] [img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/dad81b4e3748edf3af4ca547e3873fd1/tumblr_n7up8vvakG1r83cqho1_r1_500.gif[/img] [b][color=silver]"[i]Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than the other way around.[/i]"[/color] [code]--Eric Raymond[/code] [sub][color=slategray]P.S.

[s]If you seriously hate me so much for whatever reasons that you must curse at my effort publicly, the Spam Board is there for you to bomb.[/s][/list] [list][*]This guide is written for only two purposes: [list][*][b]One[/b], to help those who are still struggling to figure out how BBcode works (some have mentioned the formatting cheatsheet at the bottom is [s]very[/s] outdated); [*][b]Two[/b], to share some tricks I have learned with the coding hobbyists on this site, and in turn impart these tips to anyone who's interested to advance further in the art of BBcoding.[/list] I have noticed a couple of threads where roleplayers can showcase their CS templates, and I thought I can play a part to enhance this experience with this guide, helping RPers to DIY their own sheets uniquely catered for their own games.[/list] [list][*][b]You do not need to credit me if you want to borrow any resources from this guide.[/b] I'm doing this voluntarily, and some of the stuff are from external sources - which I obviously don't own, anyway.[/list] [list][*]Occasional sarcasm and snarky jokes may be hidden somewhere between the lines of this thread, but rest assured that [b]none of them is referring to any specific person, living or dead[/b]. Just a heads up to those edgelords who can't resist to fly off the handle whenever they read too much into the darker humor.[/list] [list][*]This guide will be [b]updated bit by bit[/b] as and when I have the free time to finish writing the new sections. Please understand that I have a (shitty) real life to live outside of cyberspace.[/list] [list][*]Last but not least, [b]bookmark this guide if you must for convenience sake and daily self-revisions.[/b] It'll come in handy before you go into full breakdown mode because of your stupidity. (Don't worry, I've been there - with Python, GML... among many other computer languages ten times more complicated than BBcode, yeah.)[/list] [hr][center][color=palegreen][h2]BULLETIN[/h2][b]< Updates & Other Notices >[/b][/color][/center] [b]2017/02/25[/b] [list][*]The Basics [list][*]Added tables!
