'''D.I.Why''': ''And the dojo gets rich on the games you make! :(''

====Official Diamond Software Thread====
'''flour''': ''Diamond Software makes THE best games! Especially Mona's stuff, for some reason. Her titles are always big fun for me!''

'''Javier''': ''The company president is a guy named Manager Joe.''

'''Phonee''': ''Wow! Leave it to Javier to have all the obscure trivia!''

====Making record playlists?====
'''AAAaaah''': ''I like listening to records on the Jukebox, but I can't make a playlist. Any ideas?''

'''T-shirts''': ''Try importing your fav records into the Record MakerMatic, then ship them to a specific D.I.Y. Music section and arrange their order on the shelf. It's kinda like a playlist.''

====Too complex====
'''AAAaaah''': ''I wanted to make a game where lasers shoot from a rocket that moves up and down...but I couldn't make the rocket move right. Oh, well--my friend liked it better holding still!''

'''yogaguy''': ''simple is better most of the time...and funner''

===Game creation===
====Making games is HARD!====
'''AAAaaah''': ''I want to get into game making, but I just… can't. Why can't games just make themselves?!''

'''VROOM''': ''Dude, the whole point is to be creative—so create!''

'''KAGE''': ''or, y'know, import some diamond software games and change 'em around :)''

====no good ideas!====
'''AAAaaah''': ''Game ideas! Why don't you live in my head already?!''

'''VROOM''': ''Dude, you're the one who bought the MakerMatic...''

'''T-shirts''': ''I feel your pain, AAAaaah.''

'''KAGE''': ''try using auto for hame names to get ideas :)''

====What males a good game: #1====
'''T-shirts''': ''Try to make it really clear where the player should tap! It totally helps!''

'''VROOM''': ''Oh, like, making your objects stand out from the background? Yeah, that's HUGE.''

'''D.I.Why''': ''Whoa. Deep stuff, dudes.''

====Learning from others====
'''a + b''': ''I've been learning a lot from checking the AI of games I like. It's awesome research!''

'''yogaguy''': ''the first step to wisom is copying the wise''

===Graphics===
====Naming stuff is a pain...====
'''AAAaaah''': ''Ugh! EVERY object and art needs a name??! Tired of thinking up new ones! :(''

'''John Sun''': ''Just press OK without entering anything. MakerMatic'll do it for you!''

'''blobmob''': ''I use that all the time lol''

====Did you notice when you zoom in...====
'''Javier''': ''you cam ise the +Control Pad or the A, B, X, and Y buttons to move your field of view?''

'''Phonee''': ''Whoa! There's Javier, making everything more awesome again! Javier is THE man!''

====Getting clean drawings====
'''a + b''': ''If you hold the L or R button down, you can draw really straight lines or shaped that fit the guidelines. It works with stamps too!''

'''flour''': ''Hey, that's cool! Thanks for the handy-dandy tip!''

===Help===
====It just stopped!====
'''Sparkles''': ''I used "jump to" on an object that was traveling and it just stopped! :(''

'''KAGE''': ''that's because the travel was overridden by your jump. its supposed to work that way sparkles''

'''D.I.Why''': ''How old are you, Sparkles?'' 

====No more taps====
'''SureTire''': ''Disabling taps after the game's lost is WAY too much work! Why did Crygor let this thing out the door with flaws like?!?!''

'''KAGE''': ''use freeze. Done ;)''

'''SureTire''': ''Hey, that works!''

====Delaying before actions?====
'''Sparkles''': ''I want a sound to play a little while AFTER tapping...''

'''KAGE''': ''make art with two identical cels, play the art once when tapped, then play sound when the art's done playing. how's that?''

'''D.I.Why''': ''These guys might be too smart for us, Sparkles...;)''

====cool(?) use for sound effects====
'''John Sun''': ''If you set a sound effect on a continuous trigger, it just keeps starting! It sounds really weird! Is there a good use for it...?''

'''VROOM''': ''Maybe, like, for a buzzer?''

'''John Sun''': ''Yeah, maybe. But it still sounds awful!''

====Cool Assembly trick====
'''Javier''': ''Hey, kids, you can scroll AI notes with the +Control Pad or the X and B Buttons.''

'''Phonee''': ''I NEVER would have tried that, Javier! Major props!''

'''SureTire''': ''AI notes? That's where you can just read all of an object's AI at once, right?''

====Cool Assembly trick #2====
'''a + b''': ''There's this neat thing I like to do when placing objects or framing stuff. I hold the L or R button down, and I can move and place things precisely, click by click.''

'''D.I.Why''': ''This is a pretty popular feature. It's not just you.''

===Music===
====No good at music====
'''AAAaaah''': ''I can't make music, maestro doesn't do it for me, and I hate stealing from other games. What to do??? :{''

'''KAGE''': ''you can also take a single phrase out of any record''

'''AAAaaah''': ''Good idea!''

====Neat Record controls====
'''Javier''': ''You can change the tracks with up/down on the +Control Pad or the Z and B buttons, and mover around inside the track with the left/right or Y and A buttons.''

'''Phonee''': ''Cool, it works! I love you, Javier!''

====Any luck with Hum mode?====
'''flour''': ''Anyone have hints for Hum mode? My note markers never turn out the way I want them!''

'''KAGE''': ''close your mouth and let the sound come out your nose. in other words, hum.''

'''flour''': ''Hey. that really helped! Thanks!''

===Wii===
====Play on Wii, too!====

'''Smoth''': ''With [[Wii]], you can any play MakerMatic game on a TV! Big screen, baby!''

'''foe-vine''': ''screenshot or it didn't happen''

'''123POP!''': ''Confirmed! Download [[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]] from Wii Shop Channel! Play your games on your TV!!!!!''

====Wario-Man Software?!====

'''Smoth''': ''I heard there's like 72 more games by [[Wario-Man]] Software in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase on Wii.''

'''foe-vine''': ''72 games?! That's like five and a half baker's dozens!''

'''123POP!''': ''Plus, you can transfer those to your DS too!''

====How many can you send?====
'''foe-vine''': ''In D.I.Y Showcase on the Wii, how many games can you send from the DS?''

'''Smoth''': ''72!!!!!! HYPE TRAIN!!!!!!!!''

'''123POP!''': ''All aboard! You could use it as extra storage when your D.I.Y Shop fills up!''

====Play on Wii? HOW?!====
'''foe-vine''': ''I've been wondering—how do you play games on the Wii version? There's no Touch Screen!''

'''Smoth''': ''Easy. You move a cursor with the Wii Remote and press the A button instead of tapping.''

====Free music lessons!====
'''John Sun''': ''If you,ve got D.I.Y Showcase on your Wii, you can "play" your records in a different way! I've got one that's not a catchy song, but a great level! Anyone interested in hearing about it?''

'''John Sun''': ''Anyone?''

-'''Sparkles''': ''I wanted two objects to slam together really fast, but they just slid past each other, What'd I do wrong?''
