Can I excute applications with AGS ?

[Dragon Slayer]

I'm currently making a 2D adventure game in which at some point needs to run another 3D puzzle mini-game.

1. Is it possiable to run another application using AGS?
2. If this is possiable ... what's the API function for calling the excutable?

Thanks.

What I've heard some people do, is to make a program in, say, Visual Basic.  That will run, like a set up for your game, it will call to execute the game, and when you are at the oportune time, you could save your game *the user might not know it was just saved* and then quit and return to the Visual Basic program still running, and that calls the next game, in your case, a puzzle game.

Hope it helps.  There are other ways, but this is probably how I'd tackle the problem.

If you were going to use AGS to make the mini-game then you could use RunAGSGAme().

Thanks Scummbuddy and RickJ ...

Now I can go on with my project AND your names will be in the "Special Thanks" part of the credits :p

Thanks again.
