Over the years I have followed AGI editing, a lot of the so-called demos that have been released have just been rehashes of the Template Game.  They would only have one room, and one view - the player.  This I believe is because it is very easy to work out how to print text, but these people couldn’t work out how to create a new room.  Well, it is actually quite simple.

* First you will have to create the PICTURE resource for the room.  Once created, add this to the game using the menu RESOURCE->ADD.  Browse to the PICTURE and press OK.  Set the resource number to 3 and make sure that the resource type is PICTURE.

* Now that this is done, all that we have to do is create the logic.  The best thing to do is just copy and paste from LOGIC.002.  So, double click on LOGIC.002 in AGI Studio. An editing screen will appear with the source code for room 2. Drag the mouse button from the top of the file to the bottom to select all of the text. From the edit menu, select COPY.  Now close this file, and start a new one, by clicking on the button labeled Logic editor on the toolbar. Select PASTE from the edit menu.

Set.loop, set.cel, and set.priority aren't really necessary, but can be useful, if they need to be changed later on. Ignore.objs makes the object oblivious to other objects. If this is not set, then another object may stop if it hits this object when moving.

The above code was necessary for looking at the item in your inventory, or trying to get it if you already have it, but it's not good enough for getting the item from the specific room it's in. Use this code for that:

Of course, we don't necesarily have to use v255, we can use any available Variable. The posn(ego,x1,y1,x2,y2) command, requires that x1,y1 is the top left corner of an imaginary box, and x2,y2 the lower right corner. Don't forget to enter the words you use into the WORDS.TOK file! This code is for looking at the item:
