Yes, this is certainly possible.

One way of tackling it is using the on_mouse_click() function in the global script, so that it works in each room. From there, you can do something like this:

Code: ags

  Object *o = Object.GetAt (mouse.x, mouse.y);
  if (o != null) {
    ILabel.Text = String.Format ("Look at %s", o.name);
  }

HTH!

That's right.

Possible workarounds include using the Z variable rather than baseline, or continually fixing the baseline in repeatedly_execure_always().

Verbing weirds language.

Memetics, pure memetics.

Many many people try to coin words or phrases, or indeed have their jokes become popular on the internet. Check ytmnd, youtube or wikipedia for a plethora of examples. Most fail. Most that succeed do so unintentionally.

Yes.

In particular, the character[EGO] struct has a 'baseline' variable.

You have asked us five times now. You will not get a better answer than whatever you've got already.

And sometimes, there's just more satisfaction in earning something, than in getting it.

I would suggest to run the included winsetup.exe - if you're running the game in full-screen mode (as is the default), run it windowed (or, if you were already doing that, try running it full-screen instead).

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest updating your graphics drivers.

(1) correct. (2) correct. (3) incorrect.

You may have missed the fact that more people are in the castle that night than it would at first seem.

Preferably the former.

Whichever you pick, please do add keyboard controls.

There's also American History XXX...

Who what is? You mean who the assassin is?

Spoiler

Make a list of all major characters in the game.

Think carefully who was in the castle that night.

Cross off everyone who has an alibi, or lacks a motive.

If done properly, there will be one name left.

The way you can probably work around this for now, is by keeping careful track of how many other squares the character can move to from his current square.

This is, essentially, why you can mathematically prove it's possible to color a world map with just four (IIRC) colors, without ever having two adjacent countries in the same color.

Interesting.

But fixing this for newly created games won't help with the 1000+ games already in the database...

This is probably pushing it, but would it be possible to have a patch for the AGS runtime that you can download together with any old game, to fix its resolution?

This is a hack, but you can use SetGameSpeed () to compensate.

Spoiler

Do you have something that protects people?

You did, at least at the beginning of the game...

Congrats from me as well!

You are aware, I hope, that most indie developers have a zero budget?

I still think instead of people nominating their own games which as you said is problematic,

I agree.

Vetos would work, as would restricting the award to the "joke games" category.

Link please?

Try running Linux on your mac; most AGS games run under Linux.

Unfortunately, the Mac runtimes of AGS have not been updated for about two years, so games newer than that will probably not run "native".
