Most of the tutorials I've done involves creating a "door" object for the player to run into and have which room to change to as well as the x and y position to start the player in each of the door objects creation code. While this works I'm trying to think of a way to do this with JUST the door...

I'm loading a text file with lines like; 1,5,12 And I need to convert it into an array. I understand (more or less) how I would have to do this, but frankly as more of an artist than a programmer; when I think about it my soul tries to leave my body. Because I know I will stumble over it...

Hey, I'm currently working on an open-source project in which you can create a textbox with one single command. I've been working on it for a long time now, trying to improve it in every way I could. (https://github.com/Sven98/ezBox) I was wondering if the way I am doing it right now is...

I'm really struggling with setting typing limitations right now. Ideally I'd like to have it so that once the player's keyboard_string exceeds a width of 248 pixels, they can't type anything else to add to the string until some characters have been removed. I couldn't figure out how to stop...

Hi everybody. I'm stumped on this one. I've been messing around with it for about an hour now, and I just can't figure out what this character is that keeps appearing at the end of a line after converting a txt file of dialogue to a string to use inside the game. I wrote this function to return...

Here's another script that goes along with string_letters() family. This string works much like non-alphanumeric script except that it works in the other direction: obtains the letters and digits opposed to non-alphanumeric chars. Again, you can add inclusions and exclusions based on which...

Here's an interesting script you can use. I call it string_nonalphanumeric(). It goes with string_letters(), string_digits(), and string_lettersdigits(). It accepts an input string and parses out the non-alphanumeric characters. You can also include specific alphanumeric characters to return...
