Finally made some time to look into scraping the online docs to build an offline manual. Here is the first pass at this doc:
http://www.hutonggames.com/docs/PlaymakerManual.zip (http://www.hutonggames.com/docs/PlaymakerManual.zip)
The process is largely automatic, so we can take new snapshots as the online docs are updated :)
Please let me know if you run into any problems/bugs with these docs.
Looking into search libraries now, so you can search offline.
Then will be looking into other formats. Maybe chm, pdf, better printable css... Let me know if you have any ideas...
Happy Holidays!

Hey, a great Christmas gift Alex!!
Thanks and happy holidays!
-
Thanks for this, Alex!
PDF would be great (and then you've got search as a built-in feature, no?)
Cheers!
-
Yeah, looking into PDF now. I'm trying to figure out how to build the outline for a generated PDF. I need the process to be as automatic as possible, but it seems like most PDF tools want you to make the outline manually. But there should be a way to script it...
Also took another snapshot of the online wiki and updated the download in the first post.
-
Would love a simply formatted .pdf version I can print off.
-
Would you want the action reference section in the printable PDF? Considering splitting it into 2 pdfs: the manual and action reference. For people who don't want to print hundreds of pages of actions...
-
I think as long as there isn't just one action per page and it was bunched together under categories into two separate docs would be fine.
-
Html download updated. Source code samples were not scraped properly. It's still missing syntax coloring, but I think the full manual is now captured, and new snapshots can be taken easily :)
Looking into pdf next...
-
Thanks Alex
-
Thanks. I work in an environment with no internet and having a local manual on my machine will be helpful!
-
thank for the infomation!
-
Hey thanks, that´s very helpful, but like someone else said already,
a pdf would be amazing
-
This is great!
Are there any news on the pdf-version?
-
I agree, a pdf version would be lovely. Is there anything new about it? :)
-
The website and docs are getting a complete overhaul, about 80% done. The new static site generator we're using makes it much easier to generate pdfs, so they will be available when we launch the new site :)
-
Hey Alex,
well these are some nice news. I always wanted an offline Manual. I am testing some games and I have to say god bless you that this app is so easy to understand.
I wanted to ask you, if you could some manuals inside of the app.
But well done ;) :D :D
-
My Man my antivirus detect it as suspicious, can you just send me the pdf file or doc into my email zodhana@gmail.com thanx :D
-
Hi.
The pdf is probably very outdated.
you should be able to find the same info and probably more on this website :)
