Hey folks, I've got one for you.

Presently there is very little GUI information available on the Wiki. I'd like to change that. I personally am not well versed in how GUIs function, and I think it'd be a good opportunity to look for another Wiki writer.

So, here it goes. Anyone who wants to enter the contest goes onto the unofficial Wiki and writes an article there.

http://roblox.wikia.com/

Then, when you think it's ready, post the link WITHOUT THE WIKIA.COM SECTION.

For example
http://roblox.wikia.com/wiki/Instance_Hierarchy
becomes
/wiki/Instance_Hierarchy

You'll avoid any filter catches that way. Yes, this means that temporarily and specifically to roblox.wikia.com, so long as they remain in this thread, I am allowing outside links. PM me if this causes you any trouble.

This is open to anyone and I will see any entries and grab people that I feel can create well written articles on a wiki. This contest will run from now until next week, either Thursday or Friday, when I have another Wiki shift.



Don't worry too much about formatting or making it terribly pretty. Pictures are bonus points. For an example on how a tutorial should generally look, take a look at this models tutorial on the Wiki

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/How_To_Create_Models


Have fun!

Do you want us to include some examples of Gui scripts, or would you prefer if we just talked about how you can use certain events with Guis and provide a link to the Gui objects?

MrDoom,

I'm quite familiar with how GUIs function. I will implement a GUI "Beginners" tutorial on the official Wiki as well.

What I'm looking for is an entire tutorial on how to create images, text, and maybe a simple button or two on every player's screen when they enter a game. Basic stuff.

Graphical User Interface. Maybe you need to read the tutorial when it's done. =)

Also, with that pronoun usage, you'll need to get all your wiki submissions revised! :o
