hmm… there are lots of ways to make an inventory, some a lot better than others. I would use variables. For example, you create a layer above the rest of the game layers and call it “inventory”. On that layer you can line up some movieclips along the top or bottom of the game screen, so it’ll be like an HUD. For the movieclips that make up the inventory, make their visibility be false. And then you could make conditions like:

if (Key == true){
//make the key visible
}

And then if you get to a locked door for example in the game:

if (Key == true){
_root.gotoAndStop(FRAMENUMBER);
}

This might be above your level, and dont feel bad about it. I used to be a terrible programmer too. Now I’m getting a lot better and I’m pretty good at it now. I suggest you learn how to use variables, that’s how I started to get good. :D

hmm… tips…

Well, you use AS2, right? Check out the Shootorials. The Super Duper Tutorial is helpful for some stuff. There’s epic code for a save feature in that one.

I have just learned how to use variables, and they’re awesome. So be sure to learn what they are and how they work. I dont use AS3, but how I learned to use variables was from a book called ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University. It’s very helpful, even tho I dont use AS3.

Also, learn to integrate the kongregate API; it’s simple once you get the hang of it. That’ll maximize your earnings, and if they’re really good, your games will get badges :D
