Hi folks,
just some quick remarks:
* Indeed, I think we need at least 4 levels:
- Completeable and essentially bug free
- Completeable but with known issues
- Playable, but serious issues
- Under development
* I would suggest color coding this, and for that I wouldn't color the
text (as on <http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User:MetaFox>), because
that is very hard to see. I very much prefer to color code the
background, as on <http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Maniac_Mansion>,
that makes it super quick to see which games are good and which are
not. Note: So far we used red for bad and green for good. Quite a
percentage of people (esp. males) are red/green blind. Therefore, we
should still retain text in each table cell stating the status.
* Overall the table on <http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/
User:MetaFox> makes a lot of sense. It's probably to have multiple
entries for the major Maniac Mansion variants, because these are
really radically different games. An alternative (resp. a possibility
for other games with variants): List the status of major variants, if
there are more, mark this in the row heading with a "*", or the text
"Only major variants" or so. The game title is already a hyperlink, goo.
* In the table head, "Wii & Game Cube" coulod be shortened to "Wii &
GC". "Atari Free MiNT" -> "Atari MiNT". But I am wondering a bit about
Symbian, WinCE and PalmOS. There are tons of different devices running
these, and compatibility can vary a lot. E.g. memory and screen
resolution may make it possible to play CoMI on a few devices, but not
in general. So, I think we should point this out somehow. Like, adding
a "**" to these platforms, and explain in the table legend that it
means that one should go to the resp. page for details on supported
devices.
Bye,
Max
