We have launched a fully renewed support site!

Aside from API Reference, it now contains:

Community Forums – Place for any questions and discussing any topics related to the game.
Knowledge Base – Useful articles and insight about game mechanics and programming. The base will be updated on a constant basis.
Announcements – Here we'll keep you updated about all the news on the project (we recommend to follow it to be updated automatically).

We hope you'll find this new site more convenient to use.
