i have read about 50% of the help files, meaning read the individual pages themselves, but i have browsed in most areas looking at the main list page of each section, without clicking the individual command.
mainly read what i need to use.

i have also read the sprites tutorial help files. i found these helpful for the game Holly.

   I've read them all..  prolly wrote 75->80% of it..  Scary


  Normally I'm more of a documentation grazer tho..  Meaning when I hit one of those "How Do I XYZ ??"   Then I'll pick through the doc's .  But beyond that; it's pretty rare for me to even look .. 🙂

Mostly read the command references while working on code highlighter for vscode. Maybe the tutorials for the linklists/types as I didn't quite find it intuitive.
Always fun to find a new function that saves a lot of effort like the map and world functions. Just haven't had time to try them out.
