PowerShell articles, tutorials, and guides from community experts.
I spent some time last week and this weekend to compile a list of notes of what I have seen with the Event 2 submissions that could show improvement. I touched up on some items with my previous article where I picked out some submissions that I liked and didn’t quite like but wanted to touch …
I’m sure that most people can easily find any of the blogs of the official judges from the 2013 Scripting Games. I recommend reading those blogs whether you’re competing in the scripting games or not since there’s a wealth of great information contained in them. The best place to …
I want to point out some changes that are being made to the Games: Effective immediately, entry author names and current scores will not be shown for events that are still open for new votes. This is intended to help ensure everyone submitting a score isn’t influenced by other people. …
If you’d like a quick peek at something, log into the Scripting Games Web site, and go look at the entries in Event 1. Your URL should look like this: http://scriptinggames.org/entrylist.php?eventid=11 Change it to this: http://scriptinggames.org/entrylist_.php?eventid=11 This is the new …

Today I finally had some time to look at all entries in both categories. What I liked, and what I did not like about them? You can find answers, as previously, either in Polish, or in English. I focused mainly on things I did not like, but I would anyway say that scripts are really good (overall) …
