User blog:Ayernam/What's your favorite game?

Hello everybody! That's right- I have developed another unique and new userbox template, and the purpose of this blog post is to share it with all of you! :D

The Template
This userbox is called FavoriteGame, and, as you can probably guess, it's function is to take your favorite game, and make a userbox out of it! This is how it works: Simply type in the template name and a pipe, and after the pipe, type in your favorite game. Within seconds, you will now have a userbox that not only provides a link to the game article of your choice, but also displays the game icon in the id box! It's that simple!

It took a lot of work and perseverance in order to make this userbox. In order to make it work, I needed a massive amount of Parser function templates, and, of course, an understanding of the Parser function. To that, I must give a great thank you to RSK and Takeshi. They helped me a lot in learning about the Parser function, and I couldn't have done this without them.

In fact, if you would like, you can take a look at the code for this template at the template page. As you can see, there was a lot of work put into that, but it was all worth it!

The History
Below is the complete history of how I created this template. If you ever have experience issues like the ones I faced when making this template, feel free to use the solutions i found helpful. Or maybe you could just read the history if you are interested in how I worked my way through all of the code and was finally successful! (I placed it in a spoiler template because it is kind of long.)

So that's all, folks! Be sure to leave your favorite games in the comments below, or notify me if I made an error or something doesn't work. (After all, there was a lot of code involved.) Enjoy!
