1. I Think there should be some graphical options, Like embedding Pictures and gifs into
the background at any location you wish.

2. I Think you should beable to change the interface and resize it, different colors for the interface to.

3. There should be a refresh option, so you can tell quest to refresh the current room, so that vars can show
updated information but nothing is cleared from the room.

4. There should be an option for persistant rooms, rooms that are constant even when the character isn't in it.

Hi MG,

I don't understand point #4. What do you mean?

Like things can happen in a room even though your not in it, like to an object, NPC etc
also if we are able to make our interface, persistant rooms will help so that each room can even have
it's own interface layout.

Can can code for that easily. Just check 'game' not 'quest.currentroom'. I assume you mean for things like moving characters and things like that? I've done this nicely already, the player need not be anywhere near the characters moving.

That is true, not sure what I was thinking, I Think i was thinking of something else.

Heh. 1 can already be done, I've seen in, pictures at least, not seen it tested with gifs though. I'd like to see 2 too, and costumise what you have on the interface too (I never use the inventory box), and add extra buttons other than the compass for commonly used commands in the game. I'd like to see 3 too, it really should refresh after each turn of something (objects won't appear in the list until you type look again).

3 can be done to, but It'll take work, like the room's text has to all be put in vars then the player is sent out and back into the room and the
vars that the most recent text was stored in is displayed back onto the screen, but it's time consuming but it can
be done if somebody really wanted to do it, I've already examined this Idea and tried it.

I Prefer a nice cool nifty room refresh option any day though :)

P.S I to rarely use the inventory, if ever.
