Very First Project!
First off… how can I get it so my code is displayed in that white box? Other wise It will be a shamble when you copy and paste it into Brutus2D.

Ok, i'll give it a shot. I'll be back online in about three hours. I'm going to translate some tuts from the other sections of GDN to the Brutus2D section and make some quick game examples.
From the code you posted, it looks like a classical interactive story. Good job. I'll comment more when I get back.

I'll give it a shot also. Will reply in about 5 minutes.

Please note that I haven't tested this for bugs. I noticed that you were using
- The node header
- The error checking code
again and again. If you put the node head above select case it's put there for every node.
if you put the error checking code below end select, it's checked after the code. In cases where a node only has one option, the node just repeats, no big deal.

Otherwise, I'm impressed by how neat your code is. Neat code is a habit of good programmers.
-hartnell
Always a good thing to keep your code neat. It's a little thing I picked up in my HTML days in highschool. Anyways I'll take a look at the tutorials and see what I can play around with.
Yeah I'm gona finish it :P. Just with college and work filling up my day and night it may take a while beeing is that I don't have much time to work on it except for the weekends. But that's just more time to brew up ideas.
