Re: FLUXLIST: point and click
Hi all, for non-programmers: writing text adventures (z-standard) you can use inform http://www.inform-fiction.org/ writing your own doom etc. try dark basic http://darkbasic.thegamecreators.com/ or the 3D gamemaker, this comes with precreated elements you just bang them together, however you can edit many of the image maps etc. to create very bizarre effects, this is the easiest game creation tool I've ever seen, kind of a level editor reallyit's by the same people who do dark basic http://t3dgm.thegamecreators.com/ for all: game creation resources http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.html In all honesty you need to spend a lot of time on game development to get anywhere. Only the 3D gamemaker is really fast and that's because you are only really changing the graphics on a standard 3D game. The most game development fun I ever had was programming stuff for Gameboy(in C using GBDK) but it took many evenings and all I ever wrote were a few sprite demos and a little synthesizer (this took about 3 weeks working on it every evening and at the time I had already been working as a programmer for some time). I think a Fluxlist game would be a good idea but it's a really big project. You could organise it via the Wiki and adopt a development model that allows each person to do a small part of the game. A text adventure could work quite well, also it would be cross-platform if it followed the z-machine standard which would be excellent.

Sheila is then smiling and laughing when the rest of the 1 and one half seconds shows them from the front. they really should have given Bern a speaking role. - from dream sequence to dream, CAConrad http://phillysound.blogspot.com

Re: FLUXLIST: wolverine and badger
Georg, Alan's suggestion to take the story offlist and brian's motivation to
add sound mixed with my ere long like of wiki and I moved the story somewhat
belatedly -- neat to have seen the development, though perhaps it's still an
intimidating or unfamiliar interface -- to a wiki. Please visit at http://
jerseymac.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php
It's quite simple to add to the wiki. If you see a question mark after a
WikiWord, you can click on it and put whatever you want in the edit box you
then get. Or you can turn any word into a link by surrounding it with curly
brackets, like so {{free link}}.
To attach image or sound files, click on Attach at the bottom of the page
where you want it to go and follow the instructions for uploading. Then Edit
the page. Typing in Attach:filename.ext will either give you an inline image
or a link to a sound file which apparently needs to be on its own page.
Many secret door greetings,
Kathy
