Technical Support and Contact Information

The Scrolling Game Development Kit has a web site at http://gamedev.sourceforge.net/. It is also an open source project maintained on the web at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gamedev/ (the same site that hosts the main web site). The open source web site has places to report bugs, ask questions, download the latest code and so forth. If you are unable to contact the web site, the author can be contacted via e-mail directly at BlueMonkMN@email.com.

If you would like to contact the author of The Scrolling Game Development Kit for any other reason, feel free to e-mail at BlueMonkMN@email.com. This is my address and I was responsible for all aspects of GameDev: the design and development of GameDev, supporting DLL's (BMDXCtls.dll and ScrHost.dll), the tutorial, all documentation (as of this writing) and the content of the gamedev.sourceforge.net web site.

For support on VBScript, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/. Scripting support in GameDev is not currently fully documented, but I will be happy to answer specific questions at the open source web site, or if neccessary, directly to my e-mail address. To learn more about scripting in GameDev, you can:

• Use the scripting wizard from the tools menu. Maybe examine the source code it creates.
• Look at the sample scripts included with the GameDev install (*.vbs). DngnPlay.vbs and DngnEdit.vbs are used to Play and Edit the sample game.
• Look through the scripting reference in the GameDev Help menu.
• Look at the GameDev source code
• Look at the end of the full tutorial for some information on scripting
• Look at the Scripting Samples article in the GameDev online FAQ.
• Discuss scripting in the GameDev discussion forums.
• Look at the Scripting references available in this online help.
