Glossary

Last Updated: 27 Feb 21

For ease of understanding, common terminology is used as much as possible in all posts.  The site’s language is English, and every effort is given to avoid regional dialects and spelling.  Below is a Glossary of terms used throughout the site.

• Arrow Button
  • Selectable arrows either side of a Tag Function that manipulate the Value selected.

• Function
  • Specific additional Tags in silver that sit above the Tags within the Tabs. These serve to provide a common action between Tabs that apply to the Character consistantly no matter the Tab.

• Kisekae  2
  • Pochi’s Change everyones clothes aka Kisekae2!
• Layer
  • The various visual components of the Application screen that are stacked on top of each other in a coherent manner to build the image.  Some Layers can be moved back and forth by manipulating a Tag Value (usually a Display Depth Value in a Tag, or a stand alone Slider), and some are fixed.
