I also find that automated tools and web editors etc put in an awful lot of unnecessary coding, that just gets in the way.

Back when I was in college when I took html the instructer had us use Windows Notepad to code our html pages by hand. The main reason for using a simple text editor like Notepad instead of something like Dream Weaver was so that we could get a firm understanding of html. Plus without having to depend on an automated tool like Dream Weaver we actually had to think about how we wanted to design our pages, think about the types of html tags we wanted to use, and that allowed us to be more creative and customize our pages. Automated wizards like Dream Weaver are nice and handy, but in the long run all you are really doing is borrowing someone elses automated code without any origionality or personalization. When it comes to BGT the same principle applys. A script wizard is nothing more than a bunch of automated code that might help speed up development, but you aren't actually learning how to do it yourself. You are depending on that wizard to do the majority of the work for you. If a person really wants automated code the best thing might be to write up some commonly used code and store it in a text file for later use. If they want to use it simply copy it into their new game, modify it, and are on their way. I do this myself a lot of the time, but I wrote all of my own templates so they are customized for my own personal use from the start rather than having some automatic wizard just generate some totally generic piece of code that may or may not do what I want it to do. Smile.
