Coders wanted

Post by SimonDenton »

At the moment there is quite a bit of features that requires good coders like:

-Pinball minigame (finally actually playing pinball in DX!)
-Danger meter replacing aug energy meter
-Test: Multiple choice test with a score out of 10 at the end, also flags are set if the player failed, just passed or
did really well
-Bus stop: When invoked 'special options' menu comes up with list of locations
-Custom computer and the ICE BREAKER tool: the Ice Breaker acts like a multitool for computers, once bypasses the computers log in automatically.
-Wardrobe: To have a menu to change Jacket, Pants, shirt and the eyewear. If more clothes are bough from the clothes store, those skins are added to the wardrobe list.

The above look really ambitious but those are the only hard parts of coding for Summer 101. Anyone willing to help?

You could probably do this with a conversation and a tiny bit of mission scripting :)

I could! The test paper "says" the questions and the choices are the answers!

Thanks!

But how is the score going to be tracked?

You set a flag to true or false for each question depending on what the player answers, and then you make the script check all these flags when the test is done and set a new flag to say if the player passed or failed the test.

I can also provide you with a conplay that lets you set flag_ints and the like, if I remember.

It's hacky as all hell, but hey.

That would be great DDL :)

Also a camera that takes pictures that can be stored or deleted in the datavault
