Think of any ROBLOX wiki article you find good (interesting, useful, handy, great for beginners, great for experts, etc).

Go to the wiki... http://wiki.roblox.com/

Find 'em and post the links here. Don't think too hard about what is good or what is bad, just post a link to an article that pleases you. No need to defend your choice; the point of this thread is to compile a list of wiki articles that scripters forum guys like.

I personally think that the wiki contains too much tutorials regarding simple stuff such as changing properties for objects, and the lack of consistency is really getting to me.

I can't even do A*... I kind of habve idea that is should make function what will findall possible paths and then messure shortest one, but my brain just freezes there.

You're doing it wrong. My post was in reply to zars15, not just a random useless fact.

My favourite articles are the ones about objects which aren't in the object browser.


Someone document the plugin instances (Plugin,Toolbar,Button)!

Could someone make a list of all the wiki pages? I thought I knew the wiki pretty well, and then someone posts like 6 links I've never seen before..

@MrNicNac

The page
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Dijkstra_Algorithm
is unclear (and is inefficient - I think it would worsen the time complexity of the entire algorithm, which isn't good). It obfuscates exactly what the closed list is for and doesn't give any good overview of what the algorithm does or how it does it. I'd do something like:

Dijkstra's algorithm is an algorithm for finding the shortest path between two nodes in a graph. A "graph" is a structure containing various nodes or points which are connected by edges. Two nodes are said to be adjacent if they are connected by an edge. (Examples could help) A path on a graph is a series of edges. Each edge has an associated cost of traversal. The length of a path is the sum of the cost of traversing each edge that it consists of.

Conceptually, it is similar to the idea of a flood fill; it starts out by looking at the start node, then every node around that one, then any node adjacent to any of those. It continues expanding until it finds its destination. Dijkstra's algorithm operates using two sets of nodes. Firstly, there is the closed list - this is any node that the algorithm has already searched. Any node in the closed list has a known shortest path to the starting node (e.g. nodes adjacent to the start node can travel directly back). Secondly, there is the open list, which is any node adjacent to things in the closed list. There is a known path between the start node and any node in the open list.

Dijkstra's algorithm says that to find the shortest path between points, one should, at each step of the algorithm, perform the following:

1. Find the node with the shortest path in the open list.
2. Add this node to the closed list.
3. Add all nodes adjacent to this to the open list, along with their

And I'm too lazy to write the code. Your sample looks functional, but actually having an open list would probably simplify the code and make it faster.

It doesn't take but a second to check and see that I had no doing in that page. I simply suggested it.
