Engine Update

http://flippinmental.deviantart.com/art/Wasabi-engine-with-stuff-261732236
Alright so its engine update time again and for the first time we actually have assets and dialog from the script in it! It might be worth downloading it onto your computer rather then playing it in browser due to the large file size which is a result of something I will get to later.  Please note that certain things like the character sprites I used the ones on the website and just edited them myself as I wanted to test it out. These along with anything else visual can always be changed and replaced at a later date but for now I'm more concerned with getting everything in and making sure it's working. Remember assets are super easy to swap out once they are actually in the engine. Cut scene isn't present this time as I'm still working on it and got a few more changes to make. Which reminds me I don't have the eerie sound effect, could you drop box that to me Jade?  Also the conversation between the guard and Yu seems a bit weird as a little tutorial will be placed there at a later stage. Oh and as one super awesome special surprise I've added the start of the drawing puzzle code (you get to it by pressing the arrow on carriage 4, and exit it by pressing the white square in the top left hand corner). I'm really pleased with this as it's actually nothing like what I intended to do. See I was going to create it by abusing the update function of flixel and just have it that on every update a sprite (that would be a little black circle) would be added at the x and y position of the mouse. That's fine and all but when you start moving fast it can't quite keep up. Anyway I decided to browse the Internet to see if anyone else had tried anything like that and I found something even better. I found a class library all for drawing. So I was able to inset a really smooth drawing tool into the engine in minutes. It's great! However this is the reason the file size is much larger then before. A quick search on some forums reveals that this is much the case with any drawing tools in flash. Have a play around with it. Things I'm going to do tomorrow and Thursday is add all the items into the game, finish off the cut scene and add a tutorial for using items as well as the first item that will do something :O How exciting! 

Oh yeh and there are weird quirks I'm aware of such as if you go to the item screen and exit it again you could end up in the wrong place. That's not a big I just haven't added the code for that yet.

Here's a list of things I've done today;

• Added the characters, and animations
• Corrected a bug that would prevent all other dialog from displaying if dialog is displayed as the first thing when you enter a room (which is the case for Yu's room and carriage 1)
• Made it so that once certain messages have been displayed once they will never appear again
• Begun work on the drawing puzzle's code
• Tweaked some things in the cutscene like adding random typing sounds 
• Added all the items and their dialog that you can look at in Yus room
• Added all the carriages, however only the first one has anything you can click on
• Added music to the opening cutscene and changed some of the timings for sounds to hopefully correct them

And something that I thought might be fun (very loose definition of the word fun) is to see how to code ends up looking for your typical room.
