Yes, a dummy character for each "drawer" is the way to go.

So when adding to the "drawer" you just add to cDrawer1 inventory, to access it, you need to either change the player to the cDrawer1 and once you pick up the item, you transfer it to the normal player charcter's active.inventory (or inventory depending how you choose to do it), and then change back to the normal player character.
Alternative is adding a cDummyHolder that will hold the player's normal inventory, and instead of changeing player character you can transfer all player.inventory to this cDummyHolder's inventory, then transfer all the inventory from the cDrawer1 to the player... do what you need to do, and then do the oposite, move the player's inventory back into the drawer and afterwards retrieve the items from cDummyHolder to the player.

Either option will work, but I think the first is probably easier to program. 

Now, this is a SPRITE jam, and a BG isn't normally part of the sprite. 

[AGS engine]

I agree with eri0o.

Rename Download to Download AGS engine (or just AGS engine) and create a new point called AGS Games (with or without Download).
Just don't know if Games should be 2. and move all others down, or number 5 and move Forums to place 6.

Yes, that's the line.

You can send it to my email, that's my nickname @gmail.com.  Or you can post a link to it.

Good game, my son loves Bake Off
Can you send me the english.trs file? I  would like to translate it into Portuguese and Danish, so my son can play it and use it as a learning tool. 

PS - I spotted a missed translated text: when you get the cake dough to take it to the oven, the mouse over still displayed the Italian text.

[MyAnimation(oObject);]

I suggest you create a custom pointer function to animate your objects that need the game speed slowed down.

Since it would be much easier for you to write the function once, and then just type MyAnimation(oObject);, than having to type all those lines everytime you want to animate an object. 

I've been thinking about summer since x-mas... and have still no idea if I'll stay or go (no, I'm not singing here  ).
Still no idea when I'll get the vacine, I'm hoping sometime during the next month, but really, who knows?

Right now, I'll probably stay here... but maybe when the time gets closer, we've got our vacine and the situation with Covid is calmer, I'll change my mind and I'll travel anyway "back home". That is, assuming there's a cheap flight by then to take. But right now, I really don't know. 

Edit: Never mind

Sorry. I misspell the shows name. 

This is wrestling (Greco-Roman wrestling) and is a sport:


This is wrestling (WWE) and is a show (not a sport):


I think that's what they mean when they say "wrestling is fake"... it's a show, that it's "sold" as a sport event. 

EDIT: Snarky posted while I was making my post... I agree with him, I'm guessing only kids/youth believe it's real these days.

I'm not Spanish, but Portuguese is close enough. 

Am not sure what you want to elaborate in relation to "positive/negative associations"... I never ever even though about that before. But "bird" is a male word, and "seagul" is a female word, "parrot" is a male word and "raven" is a male word, ... I'm not seeing anything negative/positive about these... " "vulture" is a male word and I think we all associate it to being "negative"...

One thing though, is that being a male gender language, you always use the male form of the word if you don't know the gender of the person/animal you referring to. If you use the female version (both dog and horse, have specific words for both gender... though snake and spider only have the female version) then you are specifically talking about a female person/animal, but if you use the male version, you might be talking about only males or both males and females. Same rule apply for the sons/daughters... We normally use "sons" to reference "our children", which can be all boys or 10 girls and one boy... if you have at least one boy then the word is "sons", unless you want to exclude the son(s) and then you use daughters... 

Though, you can't write about your self without specifying your gender, because the male/female version of the words will have to be adjusted correctly. That's one thing I always liked about writing in english, unless I specifically write my gender, I can avoid it and let the "reader" make the assumption... Makes me laugh when they figure out (if they do) that they assumed wrong...

Also, a little OT about Google Translate. I use it often, it's a great tool to translate from one language and back, and make sure I have gotten the right word and way of spelling it. However, if you don't know the language you are translating to, it's unusable! For the first, I used it often to get words from Portuguese to Danish and English, or the opposite, and I've noticed that it never translates from Portuguese to Danish or from Danish to Portuguese. What is does is it Translates everything to english, and then to the language you want (using the 1st option of the english translation.) This results in a very "funny" sentences that make absolutely no sense... and if you don't know the language you are going to write nonsense  elsewhere. 

One word I noticed, when I was looking for the danish word for an elevator shaft, I entered the Portuguese word for "well" (like the round place you go and get water from) and asked to translate it to Danish... and I ended up with the translated word of "good"...    Now, I knew this was wrong, so I ended up having to use the english "elevator shaft" to get my word... but rather annoying when all I could think was the portuguese words atm... My son wouldn't get "grandmother" out of it either. Every time he tried, it always come out as "grandfather".

Uhm, I think you guys miss-understood the competition... you suppose to create sprites of the characters, not a movie poster.  But guess, it's up to Misj' to decide if they fit. 

Sure, just create a bunch of variables in Global variables and call them"Dummy1", "Dummy2", etc... Once you need to use a dummy to patch the game, just grab one of them and rename it and it's ready to use. 

I bet all teenagers are drooling about... (I mean those that are boys and into girls/women)... 

[Verbs.Unhandled()]

Well, you are telling it check if it's anyclick and run "Verbs.Unhandled()", which of course it is.
Then you check if it's Open, it'll be true if you used Open, and then you check for Look, which will be true if you use Look.

What you want is:

{
  If Open ... do this
  else if Look ... do that
  else  ... do Verbs.Unhandled()
}

Which translates in: Check if it's open, run if it is and end the block. If it's not Open check if it's Look, run the code if it is and end the block. If it's not Open nor Look, then run the Verbs.Unhandled() and end the block.

  Galen got it... 

You can check the Character.Loop to see where he's "facing".

Awesome news! 
Congrats to all devs involved! 

It is Mark Harmon, but not NCIS (though he's probably the reason why I even started watching NCIS...  , backtrack a few years... see? no white/silver hair  )

Last pic and a hint... how many hearing impaired actresses do you know? 

It's not...
