Thanks for the input all. Every design decision I've made has had me worried I'll end up painting myself into a corner. I think I will look into an "Exit" button" for the zoomed in view, because it's not very intuitive right now.

The single GUI idea is probably cleaner in the long run, that way I can maintain consistency a lot easier.

Gotta say, I think I'm hooked on adventure game programming now.

Hello, I've started a game I'm calling "Opening Night", and it's going to be about all the various crazy things that can happen during tech week before opening a live theater show. I'm a community theater president, and I've got lots of stories saved up about last-minute craziness. I don't think I've ever seen a game quite like what I'm creating, so that's pretty cool.

In some commercial AGS games I've played, the inventory interface allows the player to "look closer" at inventory items. I want this functionality to be required to solve a few of my puzzles. Right now I use the following code, and I wanted to see if if I'm going down the right path.

From globalscript.asc:

Code: ags

function gScript1_OnClick(GUI *theGui, MouseButton button)
{
  gScript1.Visible=false;
}

function iScript1_Look()
{
gScript1.Visible=true;
Display("&8 The script is barely readable.");
Display("&9 Our photocopier is a piece of crap.");
}

And this is what the interface looks like so far:



Thoughts? Am I going about this the right way, or is there a better way to do "full screen" inventory item examination? Thanks for your input.

I've just started working on a game, and I want to make sure I can eventually release it on all the platforms AGS supports. I've searched and searched the forums, and even read through all 27 pages of the Android port development thread.

Am I just not able to find step-by-step directions on packaging a standalone AGS game for Android/iOS? I want to test early, and test often, and I figure the best time to get the game running multiplatform is very early. Thanks! Please move if this isn't the right forum.
