Add real world examples / include example .arrow files in the repo.

Hi @mhgolkar

Arrow documentation is great, specially the "Use" parts, where you can get an idea of what each option is there for, but I can't help to think that adding some "hands on" examples on how you use it would make it even better.

This is not an "issue" but just a suggestion, I think adding a few .arrow files with some real world examples, or expanding the documentation with some screenshots, like one in the home page, would help people to get a grasp on how to use the tool.

Thanks for all your effort, you 🪨

Hi @albertjane

Thanks for your kind words.

I have contemplated a full demo game covering different possible strategies and styles of development (as scenes of one .arrow document or multiple chapters); but there has always been other things to do for Arrow with higher priorities.
There are still a lot to be done, so I personally don't see that on the horizon.
It is also the case about screenshots in the wiki.

What I would like to see is an independent repository created from a working directory (including a projects.arrow file) of a tasteful multi-document demo project, with meaningfully related chapters, which authors and developers can fork independently from Arrow to explore and edit. It can evolve to an open source real-world game over time.

I really appreciate contributions in the mentioned fronts.
Let's keep this issue open as a welcome sign for brave volunteers.
