Dear Daily Clickers!
I was thinking of making an application called "What every clicker should know", but I don't really know what to write. So I though anyone here could give suggestions, so please feel free to suggest anything you think every clicker should know.
Thank you for your time and please continue visit joNickArt Entertainment Website: http://www.jonickart.tk/

Correction - Using always events to manage the positioning of every single element in an application is evil - Put them all in a group that is only active when the app size changes NOT ALL THE TIME.

A clicker should know how to use a mouse
And he should know what an extension is.
And he should know where to get extensions.
And he should know pacmen, breakouts and tetrises aren't original.
And he should know to obey green... when he feels like it.

I believe that every clicker should know about the importance of creating an "engine" then copying and pasting it for different levels, etc. It makes things organized, efficient, changable, and understandable.

EDIT:
"Every clicker should quit using KNP (we are not in the clicker stone-age"
"Every klikker should know that MMF is better than TGF, no nonsense about interfaces"

How about just: every clicker should know about the clickteam products and which one is best for them.

Every kliker should know that the built-in platform movement sucks.

Every kliker should know that enemy AI is better than enemy path movement, no matter how terrible the AI is.

Every kliker should know that MMF crashes a lot in the picture editor.

Every kliker should know how to negate a condition

Every kliker should know that TGF/MMF reads events from top to bottom and reads actions in the events in order from which they are put in. Also, MMF reads behaviors of objects after executing events inside the event editor.

Every Clicker should know that resized objects usually look bad.

The Click Commandments:

-Thou must always have more than one save of thy game.

-Thou must make use of flags.

-Thou should only make use of the default movement for bouncing balls.

-Thou should never take heed of flamers and spammers.

-Thou must always use correct grammar, except for jokes.

-Thou must give up a little of thy social life to be able to click.

-Thou should use an external picture editor and animator.

-Thou should never raise thy arms in a rollercoaster.

-Thou must always make games that thou would like to play thyself.

-Thou must never use sites such as Freewebs to host files.

-Thou should consider before thy reconsider.

A clicker should:
Know what flags, alterable values, etc are.
Not spam people when they tell you your game is crap.
Know what an INI is.

Weston: most klikkers should know basic trigonometry. Most of what you need to know is that you use sine for y-values and cosine for x-values. The ATan() * 180 / 3.14159 is a formula that finds the angle between two objects and converts it to degrees (example: ATan( ( Y("2")-Y("1") ) / ( X("2") - X("1") ) ) * 180 / 3.14159)
