Scripting Reference (work in progress)

The scripting API is huge and it will take a while before everything is documented. So instead of keeping you waiting for a few weeks, here is a work in progress Scripting Reference document. Lots of stuff missing still and probably a few errors in there. I'll be adding more stuff to the page but hopefully this helps at least a bit to get you up to speed.

Have fun!

Great, even if it's WIP it's still much better documentation than the grimrock.dat file ;) thank you.
Method names alone do tell enough in most cases, so I suggest that you document the new and most complicated things first. IMO it's just a waste of time to document a method named GameMode.getTimeOfDay() or BrainComponent:turnRight(), everyone will understand what they do. But this is just my opinion.

This is great, and I agree with JKos, getting this out is more important then to document what everything does. Simply knowing the method names of all the functions givers us a platform to build on. Detail description can come later.

What to do during the weekend solved :D
