Scavenger hunt with a gui

[Ghostlady]

I am thinking of doing a scavenger hunt in my game.  I will have a list of 10 items that the player will need to find.  I can easily do it with a room but I would like the player to call up the list whenever they wanted to.  I was wondering if this could be done with a Gui.  When the player first starts off, his list will contain all 10 items and then when he finds an item, the gui would pop up and that item would be scratched off.  Any ideas on how to do this?

This can easily be done with a listbox GUI control.   The manual has a good example/explanation of how to use a listbox.

For a graphically more appealing list view, use a GUI with 10 buttons and change their images (or draw the GUI background manually in-game before displaying it).

So if I go the way of the gui, I should set a global variable and when the player clicks on th correct object, I would swap the images in the gui using code in the global script?

GUIcontrols (which includes Buttons, Lists, Labels, etc) are available globally, so you can control them in the room script.
Their names should pop up on your AutoComplete.
