Hi all. I'm sure alot of you don't remeber be (I never did much) but I used to post in the forums a bit around here for a while and then vanished. Still am working on the preliminary sketches of a game, but thats not what this thread is about. I had this idea one day for a non-adventure program. But, seeing how I've never created a program in my life, I'm not sure how the best way to go about it. The idea is quite simple. I want to create a journal writing program (or a "Diary", if you insist on that term). I know there are a few program journals you can download and use, but they all look so shabby. :/ I havn't found any astheticly pleasing application yet and so I figured I might make one.

So, let me state again my programming ignorance. I relize that AGS is made from adventure games and ergo, it probobly wouldn't be best suited for this. I'd just like to know if it would be possible or...rather, rational or if it would make more sense to use another code. Anyway, comments? Ideas? complaints?

Alright, so I tried to give the anal retentive ladder pawn owner painter guy the blue paint and he freaked out and went to the shed to get it himself. I pushed the medium-sized rock infront of the door and then went to get the ladder. SOMEHOW, he managed to open the door and come back screaming at me, and this is the part that really boggles my mind. When I came back to the shed he was back inside with the rock still blocking the door. Now THATS a magic trick. Anyway, help on keeping him blocked inside?

Well, I probobly don't expect much help on this unless the creator happens to see this post. Its still pretty new, so a lot of people probobly havn't played it yet? Anyway, I've already read through about 20 sexual derogatory comments on random objects (including my character accusing me of trying to make him er...never mind) and I don't even have my second object yet. He sure doesn't want to make this game too easy. Anyway, I have a balloon and that receptionist is really starting to annoy me. I assume that I can't go anywhere else until I get past her (because I can't go to the city, apparently.)

Spoiler

I already pushed her papers off the desk a number of times....

but I can't figure out what to do after that?

Hey ya'll, I hope this is the right place to put this thread. I'm not having trouble with creating a game, but rather when I am playing ones. I havn't had this problem until recently, but its rather annoying. Its only happaned when playing two games so far. When a character is doing abnormal actions (things other than walking, talking, etc) which they havn't done previously in the game, (sneeze, throw a rope, swim, etc) recently my computer has a tendancy to freeze....on a rare occassion, it will unfreeze after a long while, but mostly it will go into an error messege after 10 min of being frozen and shut down the game. Leaving me to restore an older save, retry, and have the same thing happan again. Its VERY annoying and so far I havn't been able to complete the games which the error occured. I had figured it was probobly just a bug in the game, but now I think it must be somthing else. I thought I had plenty of RAM and memory on my comp, so I don't know what it could be.  If anyone has some ideas I could try, please respond ASAP. Thanx.
