I added a stub article on Game Mechanics because I've been looking for formulas for my own RPG, but found out I'm going to have to come up with my own. The stub will try to go through the game mechanics of an RPG, and my coding snippets are in Visual Basic.NET. If we can add to that stub, I can see mechanics for First Person Shooters, Real Time Strategies, etc in the future, if we think the articles is viable to GPWiki :) --SungKwon 10:06, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
