Games ROS Testing
- some preliminary testing to make a Games (on) ROS Testing page. Format?:
(See also the 'discussion' tab for this page, so each poster doesn't make his own individual adjustments without telling something about it and the reasons for it, so I and others can evaluate all changes made a bit better. At some point after testing it out, it will have to become a unified, standardised format, after all.
