Scripts are the heart of your game. They contain the code which handles
all the elements of game play.
To make your game actually do something, you'll need to script it. To script
a game, you write code in the script resources. The code in your scripts will
allow the game to react to things the player types, contain characters, make
sounds, display animation, and everything else.
In order to make scripts, you will need to learn how to code them. This section
will teach you how to program in the SCI language. You will need to be farmiliar
with at least one object oriented programming language such as C++, Java or
Delphi, or you will have a hard time grasping it. This is not to say you will
be unable to learn it though, you will just need to do some additional learning
first.
As this is a tutorial teaching you how to make a simple game, there are a large
number of elements of the SCI language which you will not need to know. This
will teach you everything you need to know to finish this tutorial and make
your first game. To learn about more features of the SCI language, see the SCI
Studio Help File. |
