Hi guys

I am thinking of making a 2d adventure game where the character will be able to pick up items in the game world and use them to solve puzzles. How would I code this?
Once the items have been picked up I want them to be stored in an inventory until they are used.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming you'll be using sprites for the player and the item, to check if the player is contacting an item and make them pick it up, you can just use the command SPRITE COLLISION, using the player sprite and the item sprite as the parameters.

If there aren't going to be many items, you can just use a variable for each item.

For example, if there were two items:



Then, when the player tries to complete one of the puzzles, you make sure he has the item needed first, with:



And take it away when he or she finishes the puzzle by setting Item1 back to 0.

If you don't get this, check out this tutorial:

Actually, check out the tutorial anyway. It'll help .
