Slime Salad

Oh! I forgot about the kindle PDF http://james.hamsterrepublic.com/writing/collection-1-7-kindle.pdf I was checking out the file, and I am no longer so sure that I actually did kindle-optimize it. I can't remember what i did, and I don't know how to tell the difference between a kindle optimized pdf...

I may consider rebuilding conversations to use global variables instead of tags, as I might very well run out of tags... I'm already on 237, and that's only four npcs and one dungeon... Hmm... That sounds like a good reason for us to increase the tag limits. The main trouble with tag storage is tha...

http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/663843-petit-computer Petit Computer allows gamers to write BASIC games and apps on the 3DS. Any chance this means we could see OHR re-created on a DS system without having to hack that system? That looks pretty cool, but there is zero chance of being able to compile comp...

If you want a larger pinch of python, http://inventwithpython.com/ is fantastic

Or even better: variable(Arnold) Arnold := npc reference(3, 0) And then you never use NPC reference again in that script. Actually though I have absolutely no idea how the NPC id could fail yet the reference for the same id would work. Very strange!

When scripting gets you down, it may be time to take a break and focus on the non-scripted parts of the game.

However, if you do need help with any scripts, post them with a description of what they are supposed to do, and what goes wrong, and maybe one of us can help you.

Welcome roboman!

I am glad to see that the Latin1 charset is helpful! We have some more font/charset improvements planned for the future.

Haha! That trapper sketch is so crappy, yet the trapper sprite is really awesome! Good job! :)

James means "while(true)" instead of "switch(true)" of course. But the later would actually work if you replaced the 'if's with 'case's! Hehe. You must have read my post in the first 30 seconds it was up, before I noticed and fixed that. I am really fuzzy on how the existing exp...

Hello, Machu! Welcome back I figure, if I get you guys to harp on me and annoy me about my games, I'll feel more obligated to keep making content. Please, be rude and critical! I'm too old for you guys to be nice, and I get my best work done from either jealousy or spiting someone. You are a terribl...

Mogri is right. The switch command chooses between numbered blocks of code and all the numbers have to be different. You can't use boolean true/false in a case. All the true conditions become 1 and all the false conditions become 0, so the cases are all invalid. The real question here is not why doe...

Beardthar nods agreeably, and then goes to listen quietly at the door.

When the zombies have passed again, he intends to go out and peek around the corner they have disappeared around, and try an get a good look at another segment of this apparently circular hallway.
