Need help with an Art piece!

12 Mar 2015, 18:38Hi all!
I'm currently working on an art piece/game on quest that is based around the core idea of commodification and i need a hand finding the right sort of tutorials to get the game running.
i've been planning/designing the game for a while now and plan on cutting down its development into stages so i can learn the core language of quest as i go.
the game will be based around a 'question - answer' mechanic whereby the game asks a question and the player responds with an answer.
at the moment i simply want to make a working prototype where the only input is text from the player and the only outputs are a response (in the form of another question) and an image from the game. this then continues indefinitely.
if anyone can find me a forum post or tutorial that will help me learn how to do this, i will buy them a boat.
also any questions/suggestions for the game are greatly appreciated.
thanks
DAN

12 Mar 2015, 20:27if you want complex~intelligent responses that are based upon the input...
you're going to have to chat with Jay (Jaynabonne) and~or Pixie and look at their libraries (linked below), as this level of coding is far beyond me, laughs:

if you don't want that, if you just want much more simple dialogue~conversation stuff, than I can probably help you.
