Say you fight a boss and defeat it, is it then possible to make a scene up afterwards where you just sit back and watch and then you can have control over your character again.
(Do not yet have the language programe but would love to know this)

If you want the Queen mother to appear at the start of your game and say "Wop bop a loo bop be bop bam boo!" then you can do it.

If you have the talent, and the patience.

This is not a point and click system, you are not constrained by hard coded boundaries, but only by your own knowledge and limitations as you gradually learn the art of programming.

yes, you can even start a dvd sequence playing and play some movie to show the player what happens next, or you could just program the enemies to attack each other, or whatever you want realy, you can do whatever you like, but first you have to learn the commands and what they do, start off simple an build on it, you won`t be makeing a game in the first day unless you already know some programing, the first week maybe, but not the first day.

You would have something like this:

[repeat this until you defeat the boss]
take input from keyboard
move player / attack
[end repeat]

[defeated boss, now make him die]
play death animation
[end repeat]

[repeat this until you defeat next boss]
take input from keyboard
move player / attack
[end repeat]


and so on.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

There are 10 people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
