Yep, that’s totally possible! You can do it using the story and mini menu extensions together. Here’s the simplest way to explain it to him:

:one: Story Choices

Use story.showPlayerChoices to show text options in your story. Then check what the player picked:

  • Shows a text menu for the story.
  • checkLastAnswer lets you run code depending on the choice.

:two: Mini Menu for Shop / Character Selection

Create a mini menu with sprites or names of characters:

  • selection is the string of the item picked.
  • selectedIndex is its position in the menu.
  • Inside the if blocks, you can deduct coins, unlock the character, or assign it as the player.

:three: How to combine

  1. Show story choices → handle the story result.
  2. Show mini menu → player selects or purchases a character.
  3. Assign the selected character to the player sprite and start the game.

:light_bulb: Tip: Keep track of unlocked characters with a variable or array. That way, players can only select characters they’ve bought.

The theme will be a cave style,so if anybody is good at art you could do sprites(BTW I will put you in the game credits

Basically,it’s a game where you are a miner exploring a cave inhabited by monsters and a mysterious fungus mutated into monsters

What I want to do is create a Miner who is immune to fungus

By the way I don’t ever use arrays so If I need to use them I want to know how

(Oops, I didn’t know there were The Unown in this Spelling Sans.)

why don’t you just make it 25 and take 1 every hit?

16

I just like big numbers,also I want it bigger than the health(Which will obviously be 100).

Sorry If I’ve been offline for a while, I was too busy with things to do this. Anyway, my idea for the artists is that I could design some characters and get feedback on what you guys prefer. Then I could add some more to the story, I also have some ideas for more characters

1.Scientist:Can gather ingredients to cure players and cure npcs

2.Adventurer:Has a backpack used for collecting artifacts hidden around

Here’s a fact,I was kinda thinking of How fungus transforms people in the last of us, and how it kinda controls bugs in real life so it gave me this idea

20

same with how the ghosts control the people in the amulet comics?
