Hi everyone, I know, I know: I'm no computer genius (I'm better with people). So, I tried to add a new game I had created to the piecepack wiki, but I really...
I've not used the Piecepack wiki before, but have used others- I'll amend the following advice with specific info if I get time today to investigate the wiki. ...
