I have to admit it's pretty nifty - I already made some room patterns I might use in Chaco's Dungeon if I can design puzzles to go with them.

Okay, mine was orignally going to be a party member sytem ala Paper Mario, but due to the level and room limits I changed it to a inventory system. Remarkably both are very similar in construction. :yes

So, um... if we're all talking about what we're doing as our 'projects' for this, do we really *need* a submission topic?

Perhaps I should just enter an advanced system of my RPG system. That is provided that that counts as a piece of technology.

It has to be something not yet released. I guess if you change it a lot then it could go in.

Jason --

Cool idea for a contest. One week seems like kind of a short time for planning it out -- I certainly don't have time before the 20th to put anything together.

But I do look forward to seeing what others come up with...

Josh

I appreciate the offer, but it's OK. I'm sure there will be plenty of good submissions, and I've already adequately demonstrated my design skills (or lack thereof).

I have an idea but I don't know how to program it.

I want to have a character be visible whenever Beethro is not facing north.

I tried this:


label top
appear
wait for player to face north
disappear
wait for sword swing
goto top


It seems that the disappear makes the character go away forever. Woe is me. Any ideas?

Disappear doesn't make the character disappear forever. Add a "wait 1 turn" command before the goto and the script will almost work, except that there will be a 1-turn lag between sword-turning and the character's appearance.

I'd suggest posting this in the bugs forum.

I can't find anything in the rules pro or against help, but if Jason wants I'll delete my above post.

I will not be entering this contest, mostly because going back to DROD 2.0 scripting after using TCB seem somewhat painful :). But I'm very interested in seeing the results. And I'm willing to help anyone who has scripting issues (not with ideas, but with debugging scripts).

It's fine to help a little bit like that but not any more than that.

How about instead of disappear, you make it

It's the same thing - having an invisible character is just the same as having a visible character and setting the first command to "disappear".

When you create a topic and there's a little checkbox which says "Submission Topic" next to it.

Most likely, Schik or another admin will PM you that you are able to. Then, when you go to create a new topic, there will be a selectable box labeled, appropriately enough, 'Submission Topic'.

At least that's how it was for me...

Thx for the help Eytan. I think my contraption will be workable even if not perfect.

If anyone cares that I got help I'm happy to submit my entry w/o it getting judged. I'm just making an entry for the fun of it.

As Silver pointed out in the bug thread I opened, using "wait 0" instead of "wait 1" makes for a perfectly operating widget.

Because it was redundant - I first suggested an improvement that did half the work, then I realized that changing "wait 1" to "wait 0" would make the original solution perfect without the need for the further changes I proposed. And since I don't know if Larry gets his posts by email or not, I figured I'd rather write a new post so he's certain to see it instead of editing my old one and possibly leading him astray.

Already thought of something. I'm in!


EDIT: Why can't i make more than four rooms? I find that limited for my thing. And can we make games?

1. Rules are rules - you'll just have to condense it into 4 rooms.

2. Sure! I think that qualifies as a widget, or at least technology (a mechanical implementation of the historically-played X Game)

The four rooms can be assembled however you like, but it must be four rooms.

Yes. Games are fine to create if a DROD version of it hasn't already been made and it is a game the user can play.

I'm already making boatloads of nifty little contraptions for my hold ;)

...But, for this contest, I'm making something that's virtually unusable in a normal room. Fun!
