General Software Discussion / Re: software to write gamebooks ?

« on: September 06, 2011, 06:25 AM »

Could you clarify? Aren't gamebooks just regular books but ones where you include things like stats and drawn art? Wouldn't a novel writing application or even a word processor suffice for that task?

-Paul Keith (September 06, 2011, 03:09 AM)

A gamebook is a book that you play while you read it. Each section has a little bit of story and then a decision for you, the player, to make. Your decision takes you to another numbered section of the book, where you read the story that results from your action.
I'm trying to find a program that allows to randomize sections(paragraphs), write the story building a map where each node is a section, create player stats, test your game from any section with the possibility of altering stats and changing routes(sections), export to pdf...

Could you recommend some software to write gamebooks like the Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf series ?
BTW you might be interested in this blog about writing this kind of books :

Thanks for this recommendation!! I'm in love with this evil vicious game. Hope they can develop a pc version. Here you can find the forum that the game developers have just run for their games.

Finished Programs / SOLVED: slideshow for toddlers

« on: January 10, 2011, 02:11 PM »

This program would be useful to help my nephew learn to talk
User selects folder where images and sounds reside; each sound associated with its image; support not only for images but also for animated gifs or videos; allows to put text for every slide; possibility of exporting as exe, scr or dvd slideshow(to avoid pc)

Does this happen EVERY time?  Can you provide a screenshot, please?

Here you have a screencast

listview colors get inverted and the slider keeps displacing on its own until I move the mouse off the scrollbar.
I'm not using scrollwheel here.

Two issues with the scrollbars which nobody has remarked so far, maybe it only happens on my pc.

When I click on the scrollbar slider the listview colors get inverted. Also if I press on scrollbar to move quicker throughout the listview content and release the mouse the slider keeps displacing on its own until I move the mouse off the scrollbar.

I'd assume EvilLyrics sees Trout as a "Winamp", right?

Yeah! It looks for the song that Trout is playing

Hmmm....A-B repeat...  My first thought was no way but the more I think about it, the more I like it.  How would you like this to function?

Well it could be this way. User CTRL+LeftClicks over the progress bar to mark selection start ( A ) and selection end ( B ). A third ctrl-Leftclick would cancel A-B.
If A-B is enabled and user rightClicks over pb then path and A and B times would be copied to clipboard.

FYI EvilLyrics works fine with Trout

What about A-B repeat ? It'd be useful to learn foreign languages
