for all you aspireing RPG designers out there, here is what my first two games looked like:

my second game ever (annwynnynn):
my first RPG game ever (rachel's quest):
and in case you care, here is my third game (after i switched to C++):

Cool idea, but what if I don't regard my screens ugly? :-)

Hey, I thought this was supposed to be encouraging? You think those are bad? Check out my first game, Darkness. The first shot here's the main game screen, the one in which the player interacts with the world:
What's that you say? Looks a little limited, like it's difficult to get things across? Not to worry, there were cut-scenes!
Did you see the guy riding the horse in the lower-left hand corner? Excuse me, I have to go hide myself; I can't stand the shame.
---- EDIT ----
Hmm... pictures aren't working right now; something about hotlinking. Dang free web-hosts. Heh heh, I'm just kidding: yay, free web-hosts!
---- EDIT ----
Ta-daa! That should have fixed it.

Please don't hurt me, but I thought the truth must be set free.
I'm also damn proud of the hours I put into that little guy in Jihgfed's screenshots.
So, without too much more ado, here is the code, in it's entirety to reproduce one of those fun lovin' fellers:

[quote] |

Just by way of a clarification, Katton did the graphics above for Darkness. We used an archaic language called Turing (which I'm sure no one has ever heard of) which, among its many other faults, didn't allow one to import graphics of any sort, so one had to draw them oneself, until one was sick to one's stomach, and one wanted to throw one's computer out one's window.
The stellar, horse, though, is mine. Completely and utterly.

err.. if I ever was stuck with a langauge that didn't let me read files I would simply whipup a simple picture -> code converter in C and let it generate the code for me (compiled sprites anyone?)

Well, come on, if I had known C at the time, I would have used it. Turing was the programming language I was force-fed in high-school, and the only language I knew until, well, just this last August, actually. So, my options were somewhat limited at the time.
That said, it was actually an excellent language on which to begin. Nice and simple, it sort of forced you to adopt good programming habits. I'm glad I cut my teeth on it.

I actually have a very hard time understanding why an institution would teach a langage without filesupport.

I couldn't understand at first either, until I realized that this specific institution was stupid. Hence, the stupid programming language.

somewhere around here I have some of the very first screenshots of WOS...to look at those old game shots, when I had nothing but a black and white monitor...and compare them to the latest shots in its fully 3D rendered beauty...well...let's just say that game has come a long way :)
