For whatever it's worth, I've been updating the ZScript portion of the Wiki. There's still a lot to be done (er....Help! ) but I figured I'd post this for those who haven't checked out the Wiki in a while.

Here's a starting point:
ZScript (ZCWiki)

This makes me happy

EDIT:
I saw in your page that '%' means 'modulus'.

I didn't know what that meant, so I checked it on wiki and it said that it means absolute value.

So is using '%' the same as putting 'Abs()'?

...unfortunately, this isn't one of the things I've had time to fully include in the ZCWiki...

The % operator will return the remainder of the left operand divided by the right operand. So, for example, 8 % 3 would be 2 because 3 goes into 8 twice with 2 left over (3 * 2 = 6, plus 2 is 8 ).

Several sources I looked at called it either "modulo" or "modulus". My C programming book called it "modulus" so that's what I went with. Check out Modulo operation.

I suspect you looked at Modulus, and I further suspect that you're British (and I suspect that I'm not ) and peeked at the Absolute value reference.

Yah, I am British.

That's interesting, although I can't say I can really see a use for it in particular.
Perhaps my mathematics isn't yet advanced enough to see a need.

First, great job ScaryBinary. This is just what the wiki needs.
Second, Gleeok, is that supposed to be a British imitation, or what a dying weasol says?

[Joe123]

I'll have you know we don't talk like that over here Mr. Adwan.

I'll have you know we don't talk like that over here Mr. Adwan.

That was the point I was trying to make by post. On a second note, I need to find someway to change my username. If it is that easy to figure out my last name, I'd better do something.

[Joe123]

It does look like it might be a cockney accent. I could imagine that perhaps.

I think you said explicity somewhere 'Russ is my middle name and Adwan is my last name'...

You just have to PM the mods I think.
