Also if you're going to modify the palette frequently within the game (which I will do), that transparency thing won't work well, so I'd rather stay away from it than to bother our nice pumaman to implement such complex features.

Heh all right, but Ghor, better post the codes as:
... check if ( (x2 - x1) * (x2 - x1) + (y2-y1) * (y2-y1) ) is less than ...

Or people who actually tried it by copying the codes will get an error, as there's no raise to power operator in AGS

From the manual (Text Script Functions -> Script Language Keywords, that part is kind of discreet, right?):

char -  Single byte data type, can store a single character or number -128 to 127  
short - 16-bit integer, can store numbers from ?32,768 to 32,767  
int - 32-bit integer, can store from ?2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647  
string  Stores a string of up to 200 characters  

And yes, numbers ~ the  150,000,000 range is out of bound for int type now.

I'd rather play DQ4...

Oh no I think I'll soon be tracked down by m0ds!

Yep in your case fuzz's solution should work too.

No, and since AGS doesn't support float data type, you won't get much of it, you may try Erica's math plugin though, that there may be someway round it.

If you just want to have just a approximate integer portion of sqrt, there is a foolish (but wiorking) solution:

function sqrt(int inputnum){
int i = 0;
while ((i*i)<inputnum) {i++;}
if ((i*i)==inputnum){return i;}
else {return (i - 1);}
}

You may tweak it so it return the closest integer, etc.

To show my passion to our hero, Pumaman, and my love to anime styled large eyes, I offer you teh ultimate AGS wallpaper:

Nope. Character/object movement/placement is room coordinates, mouse position is screen coordinates.

In general,

room x = screen x + viewport x
room y = screen y + viewport y

I'm surprised that this time there're so few entries. Come on pals! Make some pictures!

Awwww great!

How many distinct heads did you use?

[NEVER DO THIS!]

Actually I think all AGS built-in functions will only return int values.

The reason is that direct reference for string is NOT supported in AGS, so you CANNOT do this:
string blah = "HAHAHAHA!"; //NEVER DO THIS!

And of course there're functions like:
StrGetCharAt()
which return a "char" value, but due to casting, you can use a int, short or char variable to hold its value anyways.

And for those functions that "won't return a value", I think they actually returns something, but with unexpected value (from what I tested with GUIOn() and GUIOff()).

So it's safe to assume that all functions just return integer values.

As far as I remember there was something called Adventure Creator for teh MAC, which was one of the main reason for AGS's name change, I don't know if it's still under development or what it can do though. :p

I'll say...

AGS forums, the AGS forums itself is a MMORPG itself, right?

So there's no point to vote on this topic now.

Also, look at the resource page for various stuff downloads here:
http://www.agsforums.com/acres.shtml
(and read the sticky threads in this forum too)

Anyway, the best way is to draw your own graphics, good lucky, and welcome to AGS.

In that case I think using DP would be much easier.

Anyway, really nice entry, Ben.

One thing that annoys me VERY much, can you provide another ZIP, non-setup version of it for download?

I don't really like the "installing" process, as it messed with registry, start menus and such, especially troublesome if one want to manage several different versions of AGS on the comp. at once.

Of course, I can install it, copy out the files, and then unstall it (which I'm actually doing), but it's still a bit annoying.
