Re: Graphic adventure component.

For the first one you're going to need something to hold inventory. The proper way is to code classes, and store item objects in a list variable. The sloppy way is to use a number of variables for the inventory system. Going the sloppy route you'll need a couple of lists. You'll want one for holding...

Re: Help with the IF fuction

You should show how you're setting the variables. Show the full code. You need a method of setting variables when you want them to set. Code is generally precederial, meaning it goes line by line. $back = false $middle = false $back = true if back "hello" This will set back to false, middl...

Disable Click Advancement

Say I wanted to have screens that acted like point and click games. I don't want the click to advance the story, but would like image maps that are clickable on the screen. How can I make it so a click anywhere doesn't advance to the next image, but only if they click on what I want them to click on?

Re: Using past or present tense for your writing

Asking which tense to use is the wrong question. Tense is a writing based on time. You use the tense that suits the moment. It depends on the tense of the writing. If you are talking about something that happened it's past, if you're talking about something that's going to happen it's future, and th...

Re: Writing software?

If you're getting into screenwriting you have to use software. Especially if you're going to be submitting your script. Suggesting pen and paper is good for drafts, but you're going to have to re-write it in software. Film agencies are very, very, very picky. They will drop your script for any numbe...

Writing Support

I'm working on a new story that I think I'll get some support on here in the forums. I hope that you guys will help me. There's a grand vision in my mind, but fleshing out ideas has never been my strong point. I'm always best at making the idea itself... Can you have a look at this intro? I have a c...

writerduet.com is really good, free, and online based. It does proper indentation for screenwriting off the bat. Check it out. It's surprisingly awesome for free screenwriting software.
