Title: SCI? AGI?
Post by: Tom on December 14, 2002, 09:39:05 PM

What's better for making short movie like things like Joey is doing?

Is it a language? What's all this about? I don't know a thing about AGI/SGI. I do know C/C++ and assembly, is AGI/SGI related to this?

AGI uses 16c 168x300 resolution, while SCI uses better (up to Vga, when it's out) AGI is a really simple language. SCI is a bit more difficult and is said to look a lot like C(++), but SCI allows more things to do than AGI. If you want the possibility of graphics like 'Laura Bow' or 'Quest for Glory', go for SCI. If you want the possibility of graphics like 'KQ', 'Gold Rush' or 'Manhunter', go for AGI. Since you know C++ and assembly, I guess looking at the difficulty of the language doesn't matter for you.

Since SCI looks like C++, it'll be easy...a little help in learning SCI, anyone?

There're really good tutorials at Brian's site (http://www.agisci.cjb.net).

hey Tom are you thinking about making an AGI or SCI game? you should, since you have prior experience with c++ you could probably make a great game! there are way more AGI games out, so i would go for making an SCI game, since their arent as many fan made.

Well, My OS (SenjakOS (http://HttP://Senjak.SourceForge.Net//)) is my fun aswell ;), But playing a game once in a while won't kill you ;D
