Index suggestion

by Tom Spilman · in Torque Game Engine · 06/12/2006 (10:42 am) · 3 replies

First i love the book and i spit curses when i go to the office and leave it at home. Still this one issue gets me every time...

Please consider placing the console commands/callbacks/methods/globals into the top most letter index and not all grouped together. I cannot count the times that, for example, i go to lookup something like buildIconTable() and look under B.

I guess there is no software that automatically builds these indexes, so i guess this is a huge pain in the ass. Still it makes the book much more user friendly and well worth picking up a second edition.

    @Tom - I know this is an old post and I should have responded a while ago, but there are apps for building indexes, but invariably they create monstrously large ones.

    I am sorry the index bites. I must admit, of the writing skills I have, index creation is not my strong-point.

    Great book edward!

    I'm sure that a book with 4 or 5 game projects would be greatly accepted in the whole community!

    thanks for your contribution
