There are also glossaries for terms used exclusively in some games. For those, see Pikmin glossary, Pikmin 2 glossary, and Pikmin 3 glossary.

Comment

In some files, some strings can be comments, and not actual scripts or code. This means that the game will ignore these bits of text entirely. They exist solely to help people who read the file understand where they are and how the file works. Most of the time, text that is a comment comes after a symbol, like a #.

G

Generator, Gen

Data about where and how an object should spawn on an area or cave.

I

Name given to the collection of files that make up a console game.

P

Short name for "Pikmin". Only used in the game files, though.

T
