(Slight) Mistake in Wiki

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong forum, it is a request to change the wiki, so I thought it should go here. Move if needed, moderators.

In the Scratch-wiki article about raycasters, it states that at least 3 sprites are needed to make a sprite-based raycaster. However, I made a sprite-based raycaster (my first raycaster, too) with only 1 sprite. The map was stored in the background, and the ray, for each section of the viewing angle, simply found the distance to the wall, went to the display screen, and drew that section of the wall. The finished image was clearly 3D, so only one sprite is needed for a SB raycaster.
(If you don't believe this, I'll upload it.)

Now for the request. Could someone (who is able to) edit the wiki to say that? If you feel this is too simple/complicated (actually, I think the 3 sprite version is complicated), you could make a note like this: "only one sprite is required, but three are usually used".

Re: (Slight) Mistake in Wiki

Thanks! And do you have to be a Scratcher or above to be able to edit the wiki?

No, you need to be a Wiki contributor. You can request to be one here.

Re: (Slight) Mistake in Wiki

Another (probably even smaller) one:
In Ask and wait block's workaround, the script has a "Say [question]" at the beginning, but unlike the normal S&A block, doesn't "cancel" the first say at the end with a "Say []" block.

Could someone add it at the end?

Thanks! (If I have anymore than about 5 more questions, I'll probably become a contributor...)

Re: (Slight) Mistake in Wiki

Another one:
In Makig Scratch Close, such a complicated script isn't needed. The simplest one I've found is

When scratch needs to close
(optionally hide)
Set Variable to 2
Forever
   Set variable to variable * variable

Add or mention?

Re: (Slight) Mistake in Wiki

Wait, you can''t make someone else do everything in the wiki. Other wise, why would there be accounts?

Re: (Slight) Mistake in Wiki

I didn't plan to be a wiki contributer, so I didn't think of making a wiki account. Turns out, I might have to.
