The stuff here might be useful:

Feel free to do Pixel Hunt.

use:

Code: ags

player.ChangeRoom(2);

That seems pretty convoluted. Why not:

Code: ags

char letter=input.ReadRawChar();
if (letter==' ')... // space
if (letter==13 || letter==10) ... //CR or LF, i.e. end of line

Would an option to have everything in native co-ordinates (i.e. a 640x400 coordinate system rather than 320x200 when you use 640x400 mode) be a major or a minor thing?

Surely all you need to do is take out a few "x/=2; y/=2;" statements

And yes, my request is a bit specialised. You never get if you don't ask, though...

I'd like to be able to export CHA files easily from my walkcycle generator. I can see two ways of doing this:

1. A Character.Export(String filename) function
2. AGS editor can import some kind of new CHA-like format that is easy to generate by concatenating some dumped BMP files or something

Well, Salzburg and Vienna are beautiful places and the people we met there were nice enough.

Unfortunately, I'm sure you can find horror stories from most countries in the world. I'm pretty sure that nowhere has a monopoly on evil.

Promotion3 seems to have something in it for me, but the others are empty...

(2) adjust speed with scaling. This made the biggest difference.

Did having it turned on cause the problem, or did having it turned off cause the problem?

Its probably something to do with too many "holes" under the characters being cut out of the walkable areas, which is why WalkStraight works.

Dice is already the plural, btw. "die" is the singular.

This is interesting. One thing that could be done is write some functions (or macros?) with the same name as AGS functions that call all the underlying SCUMM functions required to do it.

What Radiant said.

Code: ags

SetTimer(1, 300);
  if (IsTimerExpired(1) == 1) {
    Display("Timer expired");
  }

If you put SetTimer right in front of the if statement, you'll keep resetting the timer to 300.

You don't want a String, you want a Character *

Code: ags

function facedown(Character *charactername) {
  charactername.FaceLocation(charactername.x, charactername.y+10);
}

You can add custom code to check for clicks near them:

Code: ags

function mousenear(Character *who, int howclose) {
  int xd=mouse.x-who.X;
  int yd=mouse.y-who.Y;
  return ((xd*xd)+(yd*yd)) < (howclose*howclose);
}

Unless your game includes a licence agreement that prohibits commercial distribution, I'm not sure you'd have much of a legal leg to stand on.

In Poland, Jade Goody is teaching people how to speak English.

You know, I hate heterosexuals.  All the time they just talk about wanking .

Are you implying that gays don't wank?

There's the French Eurovision entry in English, too! Mon Dieu!
