Hi David, thanks for your edits. The howto:tads kind of syntax was because I was confused about how categories work, thanks for fixing it.

On tutorial vs howto, I was assuming tutorial meant longer, more comprehensive articles that tried to cover a language as a whole; while howto would be more like individual faq answers on common tasks. But if you think that the smaller topics fit well in tutorial, I won't argue. :-)

When I start putting things in, I'll use the naming conventions you have suggested.

Accreditive PC

Hi Dswxyz. Regarding your edits to Varicella I would like to know what an accreditive PC means. Is it a neologism or something? I was not able to find its definition anywhere. Thanks in advance! :) -- Cassandra Palop 04:01, 28 November 2006 (EST)

The term is actually "accretive PC", and it's from Paul O'Brian's review of "Lock & Key". "Like Primo Varicella, the PC of Lock & Key is what I'll call an accretive PC, meaning that he becomes more and more himself with each iteration of the game, as the player's knowledge accretes." -- Mcmartin 05:29, 28 November 2006 (EST)

Thanks a lot, McMartin. I will correct the typo in Varicella -- Cassandra Palop 06:30, 28 November 2006 (EST)
