The other forum was getting quite long, but here is where I'm standing right now with the Interactive story. Just wanted an opinion of how it is so far.
[code]
' Initialization of Game
' Here we declare all the variables we are going to need.
' As well as anything else we are going to need.
dim answer ' player answer
dim node ' current node
dim gameOver ' is the game over?
dim axe ' does the player have axe?
dim crowbar ' does the player have the crowbar?
dim handgun ' does the player have the handgun?
dim sndTSG 'music
node = 1 ' player starts at node 1
gameOver = false ' no, it's just starting.
crowbar = false ' the player doesn't start with crowbar
handgun = false ' the player doesn't start with the handgun
axe = false ' the player doesn't start withe the axe
console.Initialize ' start the console object
sound.Initialize ' starting the sound file
music.SetLoopPlay sndTSG, true 'music loop
sndTSG = sound.LoadWav("peanuts_theme.wav") 'the sound file that will be started
sound.PlayWav sndTSG ' command to play the sound
