You can easily guess where the face goes, I'm just wondering how to use a custom textbox instead of the default window.
Thanks for your help^^

This is not the Fury2 help forum. I've relayed your question to the creator of the program itself and he feels you're too naive to be using his software and refuses to help. You're better off with other noobtastic programs such as Game Maker or rm2k.

Or you could try to pursue programming and learn to make a game yourself. My guess is you're young and too impatient to devote yourself to such a large area of study independently.

download the examples from the Fury2 website, and then mess with the Speech Bubble example.

Hint:

goodluck.

{edit} I don't know anything of Fury2, had not heard of it until I read your post. I downloaded the engine, editor & examples, and figured it out.......One thing I noticed though...Fury2 lacks documentation. You should use something like Game Maker or learn a programming language and write your own engine. A good language to start with depending on your experience is Visual Basic. Since Fury2 uses VB (at least the examples I've seen resemble VB) it would be an easy transition. Get the book ISBN 1-931841-25-X (Microsoft Visual Basic Game Programming with DirectX by Jonathan S. Harbour)

and...Ninkazu: thats a little too rude man.

What about using an actual programming language instead of an outdated RAD toolkit for Windows? Seriously, you just can't be recommending someone to try VB unless they're looking for a job in maintaining business applications.

Oi, chill out, Ninkazu and Bjørn! :( The guy asked a simple question, there's no need to be demeaning.

Sorry I can't be chill on the VB matter.

I have to admit I couldn't care less about what VB is good at or not. Anything created in VB is inherently Windows-only, and so any experience gained and any nice games created lead to the popularization of a single closed operating system. That is what primarily annoys me about it, and especially about recommending it.

There's nothing I regret more than learning to program in QuickBASIC, and being pretty much stuck with it (cause I knew nothing else) for six years. It was a lot of fun, but boy could it have been so much better when I had learned about C earlier. The same goes for open source software as opposed to using Windows.

Although very nice, FreeBASIC is far from a VB alternative.
