@P0RT3R, is that good for spaces?
@poison_mara, Tadaa: no more gender benefits

Lucid · August 8, 2014, 2:51pm

Pink fluffy clouds and balloons. Very pretty, Mara.

Doctor · August 8, 2014, 2:54pm

@Lucid, I’ve just seen a vision: you may have just killed us all.

Cecilia_Rosewood · August 8, 2014, 2:58pm

The command for label should be *label prof
No _
Also no _ between ‘title’ and ‘Castaway’
Same for about every command aside from *scene_list

Cecilia_Rosewood · August 8, 2014, 3:01pm

The *scene_list is an exception because the command contains two seperate words.
Most other commands are one word.

poison_mara · August 8, 2014, 3:03pm

Better and really is crimson X( sky. I did the picture changing with photo programs a simple free pencil sketch drawing. I’m the worst painter ever.

Cecilia_Rosewood · August 8, 2014, 3:04pm

The order is: ‘command’ ‘name_given_to_the_variable_ed’ ‘value_of_the_variable’

Doctor · August 8, 2014, 3:04pm

@Cecilia, alright, I’ll go fix that

Cecilia_Rosewood · August 8, 2014, 3:18pm

Pretty sure airhead is one word, even in english.
No , in in the code with things like *if gender =“male”, set nickname “Scotty”
It should be written:

*if gender ="male"
    *set nickname "Scotty"
    *goto whatevernameyouwanttogivethenextlabel

Doctor · August 8, 2014, 3:19pm

@Cecilia, gotcha, was wondering about that one

Doctor · August 8, 2014, 3:38pm

how do you get that yellow box that keeps indentations?

When you open it with Firefox, it should open like a game, right?

FoxalypticWorld · August 8, 2014, 10:19pm

Also, don’t forget:

*choice
#“I am a Man!”
*set gender “male”
*set MC_heshe “he”
*set MC_hisher “his”
*set MC_himher “him”
*goto prof
#“I am a Woman!”
*set gender “female”
*set MC_heshe “she”
*set MC_hisher “her”
*set MC_himher “her”
*goto prof

So when doing sentences you don’t have to make two separate sentences for men an women. This lets you use gender pronouns like you use name.

IE: $!{MC_heshe} screamed.

Would be: He screamed. (for men) and She screamed. (for women)

Using ! makes the word cap, otherwise just use $. ^-^

EDIT: I dunno how to do that yellow code thing on the forums :-(( :-(( :-((

Also, use the index.html file to open your game. You should use firefox.

CitizenShawn · August 8, 2014, 10:21pm

Yes, it should open as a game in Firefox.

I have always fantasized about a Robinson-Crusoe style CYOA game! Mine was called “Escape from Cannibal Island” but it’s still in the ‘idea’ phase. Can’t wait to play yours!

One thing, are you going to use %+ and %- for stat changes? Otherwise your scientists scores are going to be like 140. Fairmath functions.

Possible nickname for the Piano player (male or female) could be “Bones.” The @Doctor should appreciate that
