Main Page
From MiniLDwiki
Ok guys, for the miniLD this here is your playground.
this wiki allows for anonymous editing of pages, but if you are signed in you can upload images too.
If you want your game to access the mediaWiki, the MediaWiki API is the way to go. the documentation it shows by default is a bit tl;dr so I've made some examples showing how to use the API in actionscript: APIHELP. hopefully they should be easy to translate to whatever language you are using. if you have problems let me know, I'll be on IRC. (sorry if I'm asleep though).
wikipedia itself has an api script at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php so if you want your game to browse wikipedia the same params work on that script as do here ;)
a few ground rules:
- please dont edit other peoples pages (feel free to read them though)
- if you want to let others edit a page you made mark it as global by naming it G_pagename (thx for the suggest SpaceManiac)
- Dont send/request data too much, a few times a minute is cool, but dont be accessing the site every frame ;)
- thats it!
fyi this page is locked, but the rest of the wiki is at default settings, have fun. :D
If you are having difficulty coming up with ideas, drop into the IRC and I'll be happy to give you pointers :)
