  I don't know if you even considered translating these, but I'm sure there are many people on the Arena that would happily translate them on a voluntary basis (My native language, for instance, is German, and I would do it for sure )

  https://www.gamedev.net/tutorials/programming/artificial-intelligence/the-total-beginners-guide-to-game-ai-r4942/ An article about different approaches to AI for your baddies and npcs. Gives a quick overview from the very simplest to stuff I had to skip past to avoid a headache. Good to get you thinking though :)

  I think it might have been a bug. Because it was the exact same code as the tutorial. So then i copied the code from the tutorial and it was exactly the same but it worked. Not sure why???

  @toxibunny said in What does ‘else’ actually do?: The last line returns a 1 if they’re both 1, but 0 otherwise, is that right? Yes, you are correct. For accuracy, I feel like I need to say more, but you can ignore this: The more correct phrasing would be: The last line returns a true if they’re both 1, but false otherwise In some other languages, the expression 2 and 3 would result in 3, but in Fuze 2 and 3 results in 1. This means that 1 in this context is treated as a boolean, not an int. So even though 1 and true are technically the same data in Fuze, by calling it true it's more clear that you don't need to expect the function to return a different numerical value.

  Getting the core mechanics down for sure, and then polish. Polishing the game takes forever, and it can be relatively tedious, especially once it's down to just fine tuning numbers for weeks on end.

  "\n" is the escape code for a new line character, but I noticed in a program of mine that it generated an extra character of white space. It seems it actually generates a linefeed and a space character chr(32) + chr(10), so I am not surprised that if k == "\n" then ... doesn't work for reading the keystroke.

  Request for 'continue' duly noted - there's no petitioning for new features :) In the meantime: example_list = [1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1] still_zeros = True while still_zeros loop for index = 0 to len(example_list) loop if example_list[index] == 0 then example_list[index] == 1 break //This breaks out of the for loop, but not the while loop endif repeat // index will only get to equal len(example_list) if it // got all the way through without finding any more zeros to replace if index == len(example_list) then still_zeros = false endif repeat I'm not at my switch at present but doesn't that simplify things somewhat? NB: If the loop isn't iterating over as you might expect try adding int index = 0 just before the for loop. It sounds counter-intuitive but Fuze has needed it up until now due to scoping issues. I haven't tested yet if that is still the case in the latest patch.

  Just start off with one plain room, one enemy, and one player sprite, and work out from there. A top down zelda game is totally doable in fuze :)

  Ok i will check that out and test if i can do the bullet board (enemy turn) and the dialog/menu(player turn) with that but idk if i could just colide with a location lets say like corners x 50 and 100 and y 4 and 36 so i could collide with the location itself instead of the box()

  If the numbers are stored in a simple array as you have described you would have to just check them all. However it is possible to build a fast look up table that can find the variable with a set of numbers without looking at them all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table It is even possible to go a step further. At the cost of false positives you can use a bloom filter that can check to see if a set of numbers is present without actually storing all of them in a table thus saving time and memory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter

  Make a 7x8 array, all filled with 0s, and mark the position as 1 if you use it. You can use that to see if a position is already filled.

  R

  I think you want something like: setSpriteSpeed (plr,100*c.lx,-100*c.ly) Though 100 seems fast, but is in line with what you had.
