Where is the Wiki?

What happened to the wiki? It was the closest thing to a manual for gamesalad. All we get now is a bunch of information scattered all over the cookbook.

Like now, I'm trying to look up whats the meaning of the different actor attributes in motion/physics and when I search the cookbook I can't find out what they mean. Same goes for the functions in the expression editor. You had a perfectly working(although incomplete) reference manual, and replaced it with a tutorial :(

Please bring back the wiki or create a reference manual.

    I know that's why I did the Unoffical GS guide to replace the direct link to the video site they removed. Plus I went farther and linked and categorized all tutorials on the web about gamesalad.

    awesome @Rob2 thanks for this! I know we have the cookbook but the wiki seems like it was more in-depth. For me where I am now this is much more helpful.

    I second the sentiment - I'm much happier with a textual reference document by my side than having to scroll and scrub through a number of videos to find the info I'm after… would love to see the Wiki (or similar) reinstated. Thanks, @Rob2, for this interim solution, though.

    Yeah, it seems strange that they've never written a manual and still don't want to after all this time. I'm also more inclined to want to read clear, definitive and organised instructions (like the wiki) rather than trawl through the forums.

    The cookbook thing seems more like it's aimed at younger users and/or an attempt to get GS users to write a manual.
