Hey Alex...

I was looking in your QX3 sample game and noticed that you have defined 2 objects within the define game script.
Why did you do that?
Is there a plan for a help file like quest's?

They're defined in the define game block because they only ever appear in a game in an object's inventory - there's no real logical room to stick them in which is why you can define objects in the define game block if you want. I don't think I've ever documented this feature though and QDK doesn't support it, because I couldn't remember why I bothered with this feature in the first place. But now I do.

...and of course there will be a help file at some point. Can't say when.

Are you going to add this to QDK in the future? Or are you going to let us code them by hand? :)
