Congratulations bicilotti!  Thanks Dudeman Thing Face and Twirlly.  The games were all a lot of fun to play.

Just a reminder, the December holiday MAGS is due a couple days earlier then usual.  (Dec. 23)  This allows for the games to be enjoyed on Christmas.

Thank you Trent and Dualnames for the tips.
Confirming that the syntax was actually correct, allowed me to search elseware to find the REAL problem.  I followed your advice, Dualnames, and moved the code elseware to see if it would work â€" it did!  Bottom line â€" there was different HIDDEN problem, that I was able to find and fix, thanks to your support.
Thanks,

I’m trying to change the background graphic of my GUI when a certain event happens.  However, I’m having trouble with the syntax on how to write this.
In the manuel, I’ve found the BackgroundGraphic property (GUI)  which suggests:

Code: ags

 int GUI.BackgroundGraphic 

However, when I try this and any variation that I can think of, I get an error.  This is what I have tried:

Code: ags

5 gMyGUI.BackgroundGraphic; 

Code: ags

gMyGUI.BackgroundGraphic = 5; 

Code: ags

(5)gMyGUI.BackgroundGraphic; 

Code: ags

gMyGUI.BackgroundGraphic(5); 

If someone could help me with the proper syntax I'd really appreciate it.  Oh, and I'm uising version 3.1.1
Thanks,

Is it permissible to treat this clause as sarcastic?

Certainly.  Go with your creativity. 

Or to have the wish granted by an incredibly sarcastic Claus?

Absolutely!

Is Robonnukah (from Futurama) allowed if main character is a robot??

If you personally celebrate Robonnukah, then by all means.

Can I take this as should, but not have to?

There must be an unbelievably happy ending.  However, you can interpret this as creatively as you wish; see Radiant’s question regarding sarcasm.  The use of the word “should” was more an artifact of how I speak, then a loophole in the rules.

I won't enter, though, because I hate christmas.

New Years may be a possible alternative holiday for you.

Why must people always nitpick rules?

Thanks for the back up.

Hey guys,
     Sorry to double post.  I didn’t want to edit my first post, because it has a time stamp of 4:59am… which is actually 11:59pm on Nov 25, from where I’m posting from (east coast  USA.)  So, I just made it in with a minute to spare.
      This is my first game, so a lot of my time was spent learning about the program.  Although I wish it could have been more,  I had lots of fun making it and I hope you enjoy it!  I also hope to use my learning’s with this to make a really polished game in the future.
Thanks,

Also, Here are some images of the game Man vs. Fish.

Both are hungry.  Only one will eat.  Who will prevail?  Man or fish?  Play from the point of view of both man and fish.  Switch between points of view during the game.
