Change Highlights
- Activity bar is hooked up and several example badges are available.
- Ranks are hooked up but I haven't provided any ways to rank up yet.
- XP was added and hooked up. Again, only one example place to earn it.
- Many tweaks around resources and startup



What's Next?
- Still looking for bugs and rewarding for them.
- Some bug fixes and tweaks around the Activity Bar.
- Revamping the currency system.

For those of you who have been following along for a while now, all these efforts are definitely related to the Training Center, Project Manager, and Collaboration Center.

Great! I'm glad to see continuous updates! It's wonderful to see someone putting that much effort into something that will help BYOND grow.

I like the idea of the resource center but can you make the enlisted material have something actually worth buying? i was looking through the catalog and its 90 coins to get a file with probably one line of code? "is-maximised=TRUE"... actually all of the code there can be found in the dev forums.

Sure. Some stuff is similar but nothing really identical and I'm not challenging you to prove me wrong. I'm sure you could find a few things. However, I think you might be missing the point a little bit. Did you happen to notice how many people unlocked the Full Screen example? 20+ people found it useful enough to unlock.

There is a need for simplicity and discoverability.

The Resource Center is targeting new BYOND developers but at the same time, it's working on providing experienced developers with some fun opportunities as well.

In the foreseeable future, the Resource Center is going to expand significantly in a multitude of directions. If you want to learn more, just follow these blog posts back in time.
