Re: Game Hint #1
Just a thought here.
ChiefDelphi can be a very intimidating place, esp. for new members who have never posted before. To post in the game hint threads could be somewhat daunting to some, to say the least. My hat is off to the new members who are thinking and who are contributing. Yes, it it good to caution folks to read the thread and do some searches but it is also good to remember when we first started posting in ChiefDelphi and the huge learning curve involved.
If I were going to carp on anything - oh wait - harp on anything - it would be to be mindful of spelling and using complete words and sentences. It isn't productive to use text lingo when posting in ChiefDelphi. For one important reason: there are many engineers, technologists, scientists, teachers, and professionals reading what we write. This would include members of the Game Design Committee (the GDC). Now is as good a time as any to begin writing like you would be writing an award submission like the Chairman's Award or the Woodie Flowers Award. Save your text lingo and impulsive posts that are empty of content - for social networking opportunities.

P.S. oh yes, and when you are scanning a thread, stop scanning - and read and comprehend/absorb the posts that have been made. That will help you decide if you want to post, how you want to post, and what you want to post. Guaranteed.
