That should cover almost all of it...But i cant help you with the save/load thing.

You could do the save feature like this:

To save:

To load it:

Hope this helps.

just a few tips:

-dragon slayer aint original at all
-i dunno what tut u were pointed to, but wanna start by learning bitmapping and stuff...check darkdreads rpg tut and also the tut about it in the qbnews tuts (prob the 1 u were pointed to)
-use some sort of protection on ur save files,cuz ne1 could open it and cheat...save in binary or use simple encryption

I'am only replying about the sprite thigy ::

ok this is how I see what you are asking :

Quote:please make me a program that move sprite around with arrow keys

well that aint gonna work amigo (unless there is stupid guy out there that wan't to do it).

what you should ask is pointer on how to do it not ask ppl to code it for you

To save:
Code:

open "game.sav" for output as #1
print #1, charactername$
print #1, level
print #1, hp
print #1, whatever
close



To load it:
Code:
