* Actions have various types of conditions based on inventory, or items in a room, or items NOT in inventory, or which room the player is in. * Actions have various effects, like moving the player, moving inventory, triggering timers, ending the game.

What's the authoring environment like for this system?

Impressive

I never did learn the algorithm to beat Lights Out. I used to beat Magic Square on the old handheld Merlin electronic game, though. Does that count?

For my part, I loved the solid systems and mechanics in ROQV, but ultimately I set it aside because the themes and creatures were too dark for my tastes

I guess I just like my RPGs a bit more cartoony and light-hearted. Dungeonmans is pretty good in this regard.

Maybe it could actually be some sort of mini game: a skill based game like Archon? Or a chance based game like a roulette wheel? Or would luck kill the fun? Maybe it should stay static like chess. What do you think? Maybe you have a finite amount of currency to ration over the game and spending som...

These all worked on my laptop. Quick to load, too.

Thanks

That works. With the caveat that all keys pressed, up to, and including the space, are printed upon exit, below the READY prompt. Not a big deal for a throwaway test program like this.

Is getkey() documented somewhere and I'm just blind?

I upgraded to 10.6 but still no dice.

What happens if you leave out the line: Yeah, if I comment out the "keypressed" line, I get an infinite loop. check the documentation regarding the use of the "keypressed()" function Sure, seems straightforward. Description Tests whether the key specified in parameter 1 is press...

I'm brand new to TRSE. I want to fill the screen with garbage, until space is pressed, which should exit the program. What actually happens is that the program only performs a single trip through the while loop then exits immediately. program MyProgram; var i: integer; c: byte = 65; k: byte = 0; beg...
