Re: [pygame] RPG Quest System



Hey,

Use python for your scripting language.  It's the best!

(I'm not being silly either - I use python for scripting python in several games.  I've made an adventure game - svn://www.imitationpickles.org/pyweek3/trunk - which imports the various rooms as needed.  If you don't want to import rooms, you can always load them up dynamically.)

Hi guys,

I've done some simple small games with PyGame, and decided to move on to a little fun RPG zelda-like game. I managed to make a little tile scrolling engine, dialog and ugly interfaces, spells, itens (still under work), etc.. etc... What I really am worried about is the, not sure what to call, "quest system".

I can't think of a simple way of making a scenario, some things that the "hero" have to do before advancing... Becouse, you know, this is pretty huge. The quest that the hero is doing at the moment decides the dialogs of the npc's, closed gates, etc etc... I'm thinking about making like a "scripting" language to describe all those things, but I can't think of any way to include this in the game... It's just something so... general.

Anyway, some of you must already have done something similar, so I wanna hear your toughts about this =) Ways of designing the codes, some ideas about the quest system, is the "scripting language" the right way of doing it, etc...

Hope i've been clear... Feel free to ask anything. The game will be available at the PyGame wiki as soons as it is "playable".

Thank you already,


Giuliano Vilela.
