Slime Salad

1) Read this: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Plotscripting_Tutorial It is a perfect tutorial to get you familiarized with the basic setup of a program. (Mind you, to run these scripts you will need to draw up a main character and a map, perhaps a few other things as you go too but it shoul...

Hello! Cool, you've done quite a bit of writing; definitely a great way to improve.

I don't know what to recommend you do to learn programming; I think I took a very bad route myself. They are many routes, but I think Python is quite suitable as a first language.

First, Is that I forgot the "show text box" doesn't actually take effect until the next wait command, so you should add "wait(1)" right after the show text box Note that I've changed this in nightlies: there is now a backwards compatibility bitset called "showtextbox happen...

All of the above look awesome. Maybe I should steal Sephy's textbox point of origin idea.

Oh! What Giz said reminded me that the Commander Keen has lots of enemies with interesting behaviours. Its been at least 10 years since I've played any of them, so I couldn't really remember details. But looking through videos on Youtube I see enemies that crawl up walls or ladders/fireman poles; bi...

I suppose that you were wondering about using Custom on a tablet? It's not really something we're planning for.

Use a script. Something containing if (key is pressed(key:esc)) then (advance textbox) For quite a while I've been thinking about making ESC advance text boxes. That is doesn't is inconsistent with everything else in the engine. I expect making...

Strange, I don't know why you would have that trouble. (Maybe it's something specific to the Windows build of unlump.exe?)

I used the HS Decompiler since that .hsp was indeed too old.

That must be the result of the first unlumping, not the second. The tritear.hsp file may be a bit hard to spot because Windows Explorer will hide the extension by default if it's mis-recognised as another file type. You can either change the setting to show all file extensions, or find it based on t...

My mistake, all the trademarks in that database are capitalised, though I would expect it falls under "font style", meaning some trademarks could apply to a particular capitalisation.

Actually, that trademark is for "CANDY", which is a big difference. However I'm rather shocked that the trademark was granted not just for cell phone games or whatever CCS is, but for everything from magnetic disks to keyboards to baby monitors. That's not how trademark law is meant to wor...

What the bump is going on here? Have you gone back to requiring seconded nominations?

Gomez's Christmas Surprise and Space Robot would be two great choices for the GotM poll.
