Game inventory Screen Needed2005-10-27 03:09:31 PM delphi170 Hi, I am Adrian. I am now trying to make an online game. All of it is going well, but I am having trouble making an inventory screen where the character can pickup, store and drop items like weapons, potions, etc. Should I use a drawgrid, or what. If anyone has an example of this, could you please send it to me, at XXXX@XXXXX.COM. Thanks |

And if you read his questions he is becoming an outstanding developer, in no small part because of the help and fellowship he has got here. You will get some youngsters, with more ambition and ideas and enthusiasm then skill; and I would rather start with that, then a more "conservative" and timid individual, willing to be led around by the nose and told what and what not to do. Yes, the latter type may also become a dull and un-exceptional software developer, but the former may well have the "fire in the belly" that makes for an exceptional developer. But that is just me... So back to the point. These types of questions indicate a NEW programmer and I am guessing a youngster as well. I see nothing wrong with *correcting* the post and pointing out its deficiencies, but I suggest doing it in a sober fashion. And just in case the poster is a youngster, doing it in a kindly and gentle fashion might also be a good idea. There are absolute idiots on this forum that rightly deserve ostracism (instead of mascot status). But a youngster dreaming of writing his own OS or his own on-line game, isn't one of them. -d -- Fastcode Project: www.fastcodeproject.org/ |

These types of questions indicate a NEW "Ive done absolutely nothing to achieve this, do it for me" its different if they came up to you with a huge mess of worms with a tear in the eye and said "I cant make it work" There are a lot of books on delphi, which are fairly cheap, the principals even in the d3/4/5 books still stand, its just some areas have been superceeded. However, for this guy, some drag and drop examples (from the helpfile) should be enough to get him going, however, chances are he didnt look there, and as yet, I havent seen anyone point him there. -- Liz the Brit |

It's QUITE different from those who come and say, "wow, I have seen an .EXE in a directory, I have double clicked it and a nice lot of windows came up. Want to do the same... Help me?". I have HELPED A LOT of them. I have got the degree for one of them who worked for me, and now I have just finished the programming task for another of my companions, and I don't even have a degree myself. But I love honesty: "Hey buddy, can you write me a little program which does this or that?" Come on!". Enough for me. So... again, our attitude was wrong, but the kid is trying to get away with it. First an operating system, then a game. The right thing to do would have been "Kid, please tell us what the assignment is and we can send you some source that is good for you". It is probable that he ain't even interested in learning Delphi just get the "A" in his exam. And that is not bad either. -- Have you seen Marillion's Marbles?
