I COULD go the easy way and just have them click on a name in a dropdown list, but I kind of want them to actually type the numbers in (like in old-school point&click games).
Now I have looked around and believe I might be able to do that via the "Numbers Minigame" from Alex, but if so, then I am not 100% sure how to change the code to recognize multiple different outcomes?
I mean, let's say the numbers to call are 667-4982, 442-9554 and 388-1108.
I would need the game to not only realize that one of those numbers was dialed and send the player to the right person, I would also need it to realize when a unknown number is dialed. If I see it correctly, Alex's code seems to only have a right and a wrong result (and I don't even fully understand how the game concludes that the right one was put in).
I really would appreciate, if someone could either help me through this code to understand and change it or - if there is maybe a simpler variation (no idea, maybe with imagebuttons and variables or something), to offer me some revelation in that direction.
Code from Alex's Number Minigame
Code: Select all
transform roto_transform (roto_var):
# ATL transform that will rotate our displayables to "roto_var" degrees
rotate roto_var
rotate_pad False
##### The game screen
screen numbers_scr:
# It is better to operate this game with mouse only, so just disable cursor and enter keys
key "K_LEFT" action Hide("nonexistent_screen")
key "K_RIGHT" action Hide("nonexistent_screen")
key "K_UP" action Hide("nonexistent_screen")
key "K_DOWN" action Hide("nonexistent_screen")
