Slime Salad

I don't have a manual save feature and instead autosave on each map's autorun script. I also skip the load screen when the game opens up, so I have a conditional in the new game script to load from slot 1 if there is a save file there. When it does load, though, it loads the game up but ignores all ...

Fun Farming Fact #10: Candy corn is not, in fact, a vegetable. It is candy, as the name suggests. However, candy corn can easily be mistaken for real corn, the filthy imposter. In its attempt to fool you, you may be eating raw corn and think, "Wow this is some sugary and delicious corn!" B...

I believe I stubbed my toe on my desk when I discovered it. I got a little bit too excited. It's super useful though, especially for expanding the usability of local variables in many circumstances.

Maybe some farming facts can help, eh? Some statistics about water usage might reeeaaally tie that game together. But seriously, something is better than nothing. If necessary, I might not "have time" on Monday to play it.

Some answers: 1. Absolutely no idea. Like 4, I think. 2. I would love to see your game, you will not receive any penalty if your game is late. I don't like pushing back deadlines, first for the people that have been here since the beginning, and also because it devalues any sense of urgency. You sho...

I wrote a wiki article about fake arrays last time someone asked. http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Scripts:Fake_arrays Arrays of global variables are easier to inspect, using the script debugger (press V a few times until it shows global variables), although you can't see where the array end...

Thank you very much. I will attempt the slice method instead this time.

Ok, that's great, but it means I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have a slice collection which displays a row of 10 "item" sprites across the top. I am attempting to use an array to cycle through tags attached to each item and setting the sprite visible if the item is "owned."...

Fun Farming Fact #9: Farmers will sometimes plant tall, dense trees surrounding fruit tree orchards as a windbreak to protect the soil. Additionally, the size and height of fruit trees and bushes do not determine it's productivity. Farmers often restrict the size of trees and bushes to grow more fru...

I'm reading new information that suggests the Mesopotamians began irrigating in 7000 BC rather than 6000 BC. No source seems to be certain of this date, so there is a discrepancy there.

I'm just checking that the OHR still does not in fact support arrays. I'm building a fake array now and wondering if that's been added since the last time I've built one (it was a long time ago). If not, is there an estimate on when arrays will be supported, if ever? EDIT: I knew I'd have follow-up ...

Sometimes you get lucky with color assigning. Other times you just wish you'd taken the time to take the proper steps of painting a backdrop. I hope to be able to finish this game by Sunday and that everyone else will be able to get somewhere close to finished by then as well. I'm excited to see wha...

Well I've decided to make my own game for this contest, so I ended up spending a bunch of time on that today and forgot to put a fact. So sorry it's late, but here it is. Brief Fun Farming Fact #8: Trees are surprisingly hearty when it comes to growing conditions. They technically do not require a r...

Exhaustion-Fueled Fun Farming Fact #7: Irrigation has been historically vital to the survival of a civilization. Those who establish quality irrigation will be much more capable of supporting the agriculture required to feed a people. Irrigation dates back to at least 6000 BC when Egyptians and Meso...

I got my idea and I'm gonna try to run with it. Details following as they develop. Gomie out. Good luck and I look forward to seeing it. Sorry I didn't post a fact today, I didn't end up going to bed until 10 am so my awakeness is not super powerful right now. I'll get one posted in a minute to mak...
