Title: integrating a hack simulation game with a point and click?
Post by: TIMEntertainment on Wed 22/07/2015 21:00:29
My sister and i are working on a point and click game with lots of hack simulation game elements. The idea is basically you walking around the rooms which have computers in them, clicking the computers will start the hack sim mini game (see Mu complexe for example cool gmae xD). the screen goes black and you need to type commands and such to solve the puzzle
creating a hack sim game is fairly simple and so is creating a P&C game but i have no idea how to put both together with AGS.
I don't know if this belongs in the advanced or the beginner tech questions but we're beginners so here it is xD

I'm not the right person to answer this, but until the right one comes along, I can say that you have two ways to program such a game.
Program everything with AGS, or the more logical and easy (?) solution to make you hotspots (clicking the computer) will launch your mini-game. Try searching the manual for how to launch a mini-game from inside AGS...

Hope it helps and that what I said isn't complete nonsense... :)

Just use a GUI, and put a label (output) and textbox (input) on it. Entering the minigame is as simple as turning the GUI visible.
