[Rails-devel] Docs for new games?

[Rick W. <wes...@pu...>]

 From the small bit I did searching the archives I suspect that the 
answer to this question is a resounding "NO" but ... are there any docs 
on how to create a new game and especially the options available to 
modify the game's parameters?  

    I can certainly go through the existing games' xml files and try to 
figure out what needs to be placed where, but it would be handy to know 
what some of the options mean without have to parse the code.  For 
example, in the 'CompanyManager.xml'  there are options such as 
'PoolPaysOut' -- which is clear but makes me wonder what other options 
are possible; e.g., 'PoolRetains' or just perhaps not including the 
'PoolPaysOut' line is sufficient?  And in the 'LayCost' option there is 
a method.  The particular file I am looking at has the method 
'sequence'.  Are there others available?  And so on.

    If there is no such document then I will try to make one up as I 
create a couple of games.  BTW:  At the moment I am working on 1800 and 
1876 -- these are some very simple 1830-style games which should not 
(knock on wood!) give too many config problems.

TIA.
