Hey, has anyone used http://www.BYOND.com? Well if you have just drop me a line. I have 2 e-mails; Neobahamot33@aol.com, and Neobahamot@gmail.com. Neobahamot@gmail.com I can check everyday, the AOL one I don't know when I can check. I need help making an RPG.

We can help you with VERGE. This is a website for people who want to use VERGE. It is not a website for BYOND.

wow u guys are flipping helpful, nvm then if ur gonna be a jackass about it jesus. It's called general disscusion, which means u can discuss anything.....
Well, general discussion on a forum dedicated to a game engine usually (like 100% of the time) means don't discuss the competition, unless you've made a full game with said engine and you'd really like to share it with the community. Otherwise you're just becoming a major annoyance.

so if you want to help me then be my guest, instead of putting me down, btw:BYOND is by far a better program to makegames than verge is,
Look. We don't use BYOND, so any answer you get is not going to be hepful. If you want help, go to a BYOND forum and stop being such a tool.

you can't even use verge. dam
You're obviously ignorant to the multitudes who already made games and demos with it.


p.s BYOND stands for Build Your Own Net Dream, you actually code the games u make

Funny, in Verge, ika and Sphere, that's the case too. You haven't found any original toolset on your hands there.


heres a snippet of my code:
mob
Login()
usr.icon_state = input("What gender?") in list ("Male","Female")
usr.Move (locate(1,1,1))
Stat()
..()
statpanel("Stats")//Stats
stat("Health",hp)
stat("Attack Power",str)
stat("Defence Power",def)
statpanel("Items",contents)
verb
Check(mob/M as mob in view())
usr << "[M] health equals [M.hp]."
usr << "[M] strength equals [M.str]."
usr << "[M] defence equals [M.def]."
Attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
var/damage = usr.str - M.def
if(damage <= 0)
usr << "[M] easily defends your attack!"
M << "You easily defend [usr]'s attack."
else
M.hp -= damage
view() << "[usr] attacks [M] for [damage] health!"
M:deathcheck()
you wouldn't understand this..........hahahaha..unless of course u have tried it
Actually, without even touching the engine I understand most of it. It's pretty ugly code, I might add.

I'm gonna ask you one time to kindly drop the topic of BYOND, because we don't use it and you're quickly becoming an annoyance, and you're breaking the rules!

1. Play nice.
   
2. Don't suck.
   

Continually breaking these two awesome rules will likely result in total banination. Just a heads-up.

We have a place called Castle Heck. That's usually where we just talk about random crap. Here, in general discussion, all topics are at least mildly related to VERGE, gamemaking, etc. Yes, I do realize BYOND is a game engine, but still.... I mean.... show some respekt mmk? If you feel the slightest inkling you'll cross a fine line here: do it in Castle Heck (as long as it doesn't contain porn. If it does,... well... you're on your own [On a side note, we'll probably get a laugh in before mercilessly defaming anybody for pr0n]).

Most of us(and by most of us, I mean all of us) are not inexperienced with coding/scripting. VERGE, as mentioned in the DOCS (read them), is a game-making engine WITHOUT a graphical user interface. We don't SPOON-FEED you a text editor from the application because we don't NEED to (hopefully, though everybody should have some form of text editing such as Notepad, vi, etc.). And so far, you (from what I remember of this community) happen to be the only person who, after being pointed in the right direction, still don't understand how the engine works. New people in this community DO tend to know how to use Verge (after an HONEST effort).

And Verge is only an engine. The game is good only if the game is good, not if the engine is. In that respect, I don't give a damn (note: not a river blocking hydroelectric plant sort of thing) about BYOND, and if games on there are good, then kudos to the author for being so smart (or insane, for that matter).

I think my initial response on this matter was concise enough to indicate that we have little to no experience with BYOND. Just because VERGE is a game engine and BYOND is a game engine doesn't mean they share anything else in common.

And that "it's only a forum" crap doesn't wash with me. It might look like a page of text but you're still dealing with people: people who don't relish the prospect of re-instating the fairly obvious.

Some advice!
