Yep, It's me again. The guy who is attempting to break down every "DROD is not" barrier. The guy who is attempting to assimilate all games into the Mothingness. The guy who thinks such activities would be perfect for one of the DoOD positions. *Hint* *Hint* This time, it's Chip's Challenge.

"But what about the realtime?" I hear you ask. Well, the thing is, I'm emulating MS chip, not Lynx chip. Therefore, it is tick-based, and therefore, it can be made turn-based, albeit with some of the challenge taken out.

"OMGWTFBBQ!" I hear you shout. Yes, that is true. In fact, it's the name of the hub. (until further notice)

"But x element won't work! I've tried and tried and tried!" I hear you complain. Pfft. You think that's gonna stop me? If it doesn't work, I'll make it work!

Trick #1: Use an NPC for the player.
Trick #2: Use build markers for visible, walk-on-able, easily changeable elements. (The easily-changeable is what rules out just putting builders in there)
Trick #3: If you run out of graphics, use image floors!
Trick #4: To distinguish between the Player and a Monster, or between different types of Monsters, use Self.
Trick #5 (Pertains to the constuction of clone machines): ???

Alright, so far I have:
Moving Player
--Complete

Goal
--Complete

Chips
--Complete

Chip Socket
--Imperfect

Bomb
--Death on step

Yeah... I don't know if I'm up to it. But this is good training for being the System Breaker, isn't it?

I really don't see the point of posting this yet. Next time maybe you should include something.

The point is he wants to make drod, un-drod like. such as DROD: Chip's Challange, DROD: Sukudo, stuff like that.

Yeah but the hold is only one empty room currently (at least the version I downloaded). Hence roach strangler's post.

I'm looking forward to seeing something playable.

One empty room, and a script setup room, for anyone who wants to contribute. Just a sec, I have schoolwork. Sorry for all the half-finished engines... Also, I'm hoping for the NPC's that can be walked on, but I'll give you the Doors+Keys tutorial in the meantime.

Edit: On second thought.. UGH! I can't do this very well... Doors are not working, and the amount of code in the "Player" NPC is horrendous.

You can do anything to help, really. Implement or improve a element, putting an example in the "Script Test" room. Implement a level or series of levels, and connect it to the hub. Get Caravel Games to make things easier for me.
