Hello!

Good job on making such cool list!

I want to give you some notes from me:

• TheXTech has its official homepage: https://wohlsoft.ru/projects/TheXTech/
• In addition to vanilla downloads, there is my special fork of the VB6-SMBX I made in order to simplify its work on the Wine, and added some features like GIF recordings and PNG screenshots. Mainly used to veirfy the behaviour to ensure the reported TheXTech bug is vanilla bug, and it's not an own bug of TheXTech: https://github.com/Wohlstand/smbx-experiments/releases It also can be used by people who has a nostalgia to the old original thing.
• I also have the pile of preserved old SMBX versions (between 1.0 and 1.3): https://wohlsoft.ru/docs/SMBX_Old/info.html
• Tutorials by Veudekato made a while ago and EXTREMELY outdated: they was made during the early development of Moondust Project at 2014-2015.
• TheXTech has it's own official documentation that includes a lot of stuff, tips, tutorials, and things: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/wiki
• The Discords page at WohlSoft Forum that you referred is outdated and dirty. You may want to add the Official announce page that introduces Moondust Zone Discord server: https://wohlsoft.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=3952, or even better, add the https://wohlsoft.ru/chat/ link which is main way to join Moondust Zone (I would change it at any moment because of various reasons, so, better to refer this link rather than forgotten forum topics).
• Some useful tutorials for TheXTech you could add:
  • Basic usage of TheXTech including its special features and hotkeys: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/w ... g-the-game
  • Preparation of DevKit for TheXTech to develop levels and episodes: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/w ... r-TheXTech
  • Bringing old packed games (episodes that pre-includes the modded SMBX 1.3 executable and assets) to make them run on TheXTech: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/w ... e-old-game
  • Usage of Sound FX feature of TheXTech: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/w ... our-levels
• You may want to refer the article that briefly explains about every branch of SMBX and the backstory: https://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Branches_of ... io_Bros._X
• The "smbx version guide by Hoeloe" now is EXTREMELY outdated, there is a new version I made (you could keep old Hoeloe's graph, but mark it as "extremely outdated"): https://postimg.cc/WtC0JBhK

I hope, they are useful for you.

Have the nice time!

Some of the images are dead. This has been fixed.

[Wohlstand]

Some of the images are dead.

That's because Discord changes its policy against content links and it made them being temporary to avoid usage of Discord as a file sharing service that wasn't supposed by Discord.

Anyway, one of my images in reply also dead, I fixed that by re-uploading it into Postimg.

I know about that. I was just saying so that OP or a mod could update the images.

Also hi Wohlstand
