Need help with an Art piece!

DANTHEMAN
Hi all!

I'm currently working on an art piece/game on quest that is based around the core idea of commodification and i need a hand finding the right sort of tutorials to get the game running.

i've been planning/designing the game for a while now and plan on cutting down its development into stages so i can learn the core language of quest as i go.

the game will be based around a 'question - answer' mechanic whereby the game asks a question and the player responds with an answer.
at the moment i simply want to make a working prototype where the only input is text from the player and the only outputs are a response (in the form of another question) and an image from the game. this then continues indefinitely.

if anyone can find me a forum post or tutorial that will help me learn how to do this, i will buy them a boat.

also any questions/suggestions for the game are greatly appreciated.

thanks

DAN

Will it be a multiple choice question or will they have to type in the right answer? The former is very easy to do, the latter could be a nightmare.

if you want complex~intelligent responses that are based upon the input...

you're going to have to chat with Jay (Jaynabonne) and~or Pixie and look at their libraries (linked below), as this level of coding is far beyond me, laughs:

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3909 (Jay)
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4889 (Jay)

other Dialogue~Conversation links:

if you don't want that, if you just want much more simple dialogue~conversation stuff, than I can probably help you.

if you want only alphabetical (non-numerical) inputs:

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/ ... meric.html

get input {
if (not IsNumeric (result)) {
// your scripts
} else {
msg ("Try again, don't use numbers this time.")
// script that loops (runs this script block again)
}
}
