The goal for this resource is a complete list of all the global script variables accessed by the engine code, along with definitions. The definitions are a work in progress.

These are instructions for using .l (tokenizer definition) and .y (parser definition) files in your TGE-related project. I'm going to briefly mention a couple of things about the files themselves, then discuss how to incorporate them into VC++, and finally make some suggestions (untested) about incorporating them into the TGE makefile system, for people on other platforms or who do not use VC++ in Windows.
