The manual

Awesome !

Congrats on a big job well done ASHLEY.

Yeah, it took a while to get done - I hope it's useful for everyone!

Brilliant! Just waiting for it to be downloadable now. :)

Thanks for all your work and time on the Manual,I'm sure it will come in handy.

This manual has been very helpful to me. Thanks Construct 2 team for all the hard work you have done putting everything together to help people learn <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Definitely a major thing missing from Construct Classic.

I'm very glad to see a manual implemented for C2. Good job to all involved!

Some good stuff in there, also very helpful for quick reference!

Hi!

Im new to construct and as new to programming as well, so for sure this manual will be very usefull!

And as I can use construct offline only (traveling by train) I cant wait for a final version of the downloadable manual :)

holi: Have you tried downloading the temporary community provided PDF ?

Kyatric: yes, I just notice it today, thx!

This will surely keep me on the right track even when i'm offline. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have started using construct a couple of days ago and am very excited about it.

One thing about the way the online manual is weird though: Is it updated with new features that are only in the beta builds? If so, I don't think it is the way to go if you want new users to keep their sanity <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle">

I spent more than 2 hours yesterday trying to create an 'OR' events block as very clearly explained in the manual (http://www.scirra.com/manual/75/how-events-work) but wasn't able to no matter how much I tried... Almost lost my mind and broke the keyboard and mouse LOL

It is only today that I read by coincidence that the OR and Else events have only just been introduced in the r86 beta build whereas I was using the stable r84 default download version.

Cheers.

WASD, you're right, we add documentation as we add features to beta releases. Generally it's only a couple of weeks until beta releases turn in to stable ones, so hopefully it's not too big a problem!

Ah, well, maybe in that case a little notation could be used to give a hint that an addition was made. Like [Add-r86-12.04.12] or something.

I guess that would even help regular users take note that something new have been added/changed in the manual and could be worth having a look.

I guess you can tell by now that I like reading manuals <img src="smileys/smiley23.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
