Updating updates... Fixed up 'Interacting with the game' to use onShipDocked instead of onGameStart to avoid issues. Also fleshed out the examples some.

I've started to move the 'Flavour' chapter from 'Interacting with the player: BBS forms' to 'Strings and translation' Old chapter removed saved a copy here for easy comparison: https://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/Zonkmachine_-_Mission_Flavours_OLD New addition: https://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/Strings_and_tran...

Some of the concepts of Lua takes some getting used to. That code brings up the ones that got me the first time I looked into Lua. I'll try and fit it...

First part updated is: Interacting with the game: Event-based programming , where I've just tweaked...
