['Let's Cook' School of cooking]

'Let's Cook' School of cooking

An educational game for children to not only learn how to cook but to also be made aware of the dangers in the kitchen such as knives and boiling kettles.

On hand is top chef, Koala who will guide you through the cooking process.

During cooking you can ask Koala questions.

Discover facts about ingredients.

Choose from a variety of dishes to cook like Coconut curry, Chilli con carne, trifle etc etc..

Make any dish successfully and they get presented with a cooking certificate which is saved so your child can print out and put on their wall. Each dish has its own certificate. Each certificate includes their name, dish cooked and date.

Everything is cooked in Koala's kitchen (hence only one room.)

Only two mouse cursors: interact and active inventory for simplicity.

Please support children awareness awareness.


Welcoming you to 'Let's Cook' School of cooking:

Hiya,

just playing.. done the first 2... no problem. troll: only found 4 so far..

simple but effective observation lesson

Nice one Captain

i had many hours fun 'spotting the difference' when i was young.

i will download and give it a whirl.

brain malfunction

something like this:

Global rep exec always

Code: ags

{
if(gSaveGame.Visible==true || gRestoreGame.Visible==true) // if either gui is visible 
gIconbar.Clickable=false; // will not take clicks.
else 
gIconbar.Clickable=true;  // will take clicks.
{

nice gui by the way

I have it in the Global so it applies to all rooms. You can add 'conditions' that allow it to run.

example

Code: ags

 if (keycode == eKeyA && playvideo1==false){ // and if boolean playvideo1==false
 PlayVideo("BLACKNIGHT-GLOBE.mp4", eVideoSkipEscKey, 1); //Escape to stop video
 playvideo1=true;

Hi

example in on_key_press  function in the Global when pressing A key:

Code: ags

 if (keycode == eKeyA ){
 PlayVideo("BLACKNIGHT-GLOBE.mp4", eVideoSkipEscKey, 1); //Escape to stop video

hi Crimson,

AGS is forbidden to save files anywhere outside the game folder,

i was aware of this but thought there must be a way to hack it.. like you mentioned.

At the moment everything works as it should, saved screenshot with players name, date etc etc on a certificate...

cheers

Hi,

Really, the only thing i need to do is to redirect an auto screenshot image to the Desktop...

cheers

Dialog options where you can add a bullet point image to each option...in the general setup....


Here is the difference from my previous post:

DirectDraw


D3D

Hi,

i asked before but no answer.

d3d bullet images display like 8 bit.

all images (16 bit) display the same way.

game is 1024 768 16 bit colour ags 321

all ok in directdraw.

Yes,

Something along these lines (old code using int old_mode):

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always() {


 GUI* theGui = GUI.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
    
 
  if (theGui == gRestoreGame && mouse.Mode != eModePointer){
   old_mode=mouse.Mode;
   mouse.ChangeModeGraphic (eModePointer, 6);//2061
   mouse.Mode = eModeInteract; 
  }
   if (theGui == gInventory){
   old_mode=mouse.Mode;
   mouse.GetModeGraphic(eModeUseinv);
   
   } 
 
  if (theGui != gRestoreGame && mouse.Mode == eModePointer && mouse.GetModeGraphic(eModePointer) == 6)
  if (theGui != gPanel && mouse.Mode == eModePointer && mouse.GetModeGraphic(eModePointer) == 6)
  
  
{
  mouse.Mode=old_mode;  // Reverts to previous mode
}
}

Beyond Horizon     
       Sci-fi drama

"I am Blake Sexton: Captain of the Starship USS Horizon.
The USS Horizon was launched by NASA in 2126 to venture into deep space.
Its 15 year mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations.
With me are Kat: a feline-like creature who bagged a ride some twelve months ago after fleeing from a
gang of thugs on Cryton, and HAL: my reliable, trusty AI computer.
I am boldly going where no man has gone before."

A day in the life of an astronaut...

Thanks to those that helped in the making of this game....

It's ok guys,

I've figured a way around it with those scripts.

fingers crossed

cheers

Hi,

i have used input to capture players name.

However, the actual player is unseen and the player characters are one of two.

I do not want their name shown as it displays actual players inputted name.

so i used:

Code: ags

 if (Character.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y)==cGChef) { // could be selected as player
 player.Name="";
}
 if (Character.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y)==cBChef) { // could be selected as player
  player.Name="";
}
}

But of course that overrides String players.name.

is there a way round it.

thanks

Whilst i love your humour let's keep this human with a sense of sensibility

Ok,

perhaps they can choose between a man / woman helper chef?

Do you mean for those in-between?

Goodday  AnasAbdin,

thank you for your offer of help.

i see you had a kitchen in Dexter

similar would be good (slightly larger perhaps for children with appropriate colour schemes)

I just think you may wanna revise the resolution

maybe up it to 1024 res?

i'll be in touch after i release Beyond Horizon which will hopefully be next week

cheers

[*** POSITIONS FILLED]

Hi,

*** POSITIONS FILLED

Last year i was thinking of making a children's 'Let's Cook' game.

This is the basic:

they would enter their name and then choose an item to cook, like a pizza or burger.

they would then be taken to their kitchen and shown a list of ingredients to find in the kitchen.

Koala, your cook guide helps you make the dish. Koala comments throughout the game.

As they find the correct ingredients the item gets a strikethrough.

The also get instructions on how to put the dish together.

when it is ready a large picture of what they have cooked is shown.

There will also be 'dangers to avoid' like a boiling kettle etc.

This will be a great interaction for the child who will be thrown into the delicious world of cooking.

This is quite a huge 'take on' and therefore i am looking for people to help bring it together.

Positions:
* 3D models of a kitchen in girl and boy variants.
* Objects like kettle, tins, packets etc etc
* Additional scripters
* Musician for Music/Sound
* Other...

All offers of help with this children's game is greatly appreciated,

Thank you
