Welcome to the flixel wiki! Eventually this will be the central site for every flixel tour, tutorial, tip and/or trick ever made by anyone in the history of making things. For now, it is still in its early stages, but I’m working on setting a basic style and quality standard that should at least help get things started. If you have already written a tutorial on the forums or on your blog, I hope you will consider taking the time to adapt it to the official wiki, where it can thrive and flourish!
