LINQ lets you manipulate collections super-easily, eliminating the need for loops and temporary variables in many cases.
here's a simple example: finding even numbers from a list of numbers, using a loop:
public List<int> FindEvenNumbers(List<int> numbers)
{
var evenNumbers = new List();
| // for Angular. a pipe that picks black if the given color is very bright, or white if it's dark. the | |
| // threshhold and exact colors used are easily configured in the code; if you wanted to add them as | |
| // parameters to this method, that modification should be easy enough (although for consistency in | |
| // how you handle colors in your project, you might prefer not to give yourself the choice!) | |

| # the following scripts are for RPG Maker VX Ace | |
| # | |
| # they allow for the automatic movement of the party between maps simply by walking | |
| # to the edge, without the need to create ANY events on any map. | |
| # | |
| # BUT: it's required that all maps be only one screen in size. (it should be easy | |
| # to remove this limitation, though I have not tried it.) |
| # assuming you have the MOG Character Select script installed, this script | |
| # makes it so that selecting "New Game" from the title menu jumps directly | |
| # into the Character Select script. once you select a character, the game | |
| # begins. | |
| # note that using this script renders the Character Select useless EXCEPT | |
| # when starting a new game. calling it at any other time will have weird | |
| # effects. | |
| # the MOG Character Select script can be found here: | |
| # http://atelier-rgss.com/RGSS/Menu/ACE_Menu07.html |
| # I did not make this script, a user named "Shaz" did, on this | |
| # thread: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/9139-simple-slopes/ | |
| # I made trivial modifications, and fixed an issue where characters | |
| # would sometimes face in weird directions when moving on stairs. | |
| # terrain tag for stairs sloping from the bottom-left to upper-right | |
| SLOPE_UP_TAG = 4 | |
| # terrain for stairs sloping from the top-left to bottom-right | |
| SLOPE_DOWN_TAG = 6 |
| =begin | |
| Can be used to change where faces are displayed in message boxes: the left, or | |
| the right! | |
| To use, place a "Script" in your event BEFORE the "Message". The script should | |
| contain either: | |
| Window_Message.FaceOnLeft | |
| or: |
| =begin | |
| positions events with "Walk Animation" checked 8 pixels higher. for events that | |
| represent NPCs, this places their feet closer to the center of the tile they're | |
| standing in, rather than the bottom. this looks better on most RTP tilesets. | |
| considerations: | |
| * RPG Maker has "Walk Animation" on by default for ALL events. when using this | |
| script, you should uncheck "Walk Animation" for events except those | |
| representing NPCs. if you're adding this to an existing project, updating all | |
| of your existing events could be a LOT of work. |
