[Bsod-mentors] Deadline approaching!

[Mal Duffin]

Hi Tim,

Regarding the Introduction to the GE, I've re-purposed the layout ( eg 
the main sections use a separate linked page now etc ).

http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD/Introduction_to_the_Game_Engine

I will, as a separate personal project, be making an 
"Introduction_to_the_Game_Engine - Part 2", which will cover more 
advanced GE stuff, as well as some specific GE tutorials ( such as 
making a vehicle based car game ).

Regards...
Mal
