This is pretty tight. The player has the freedom to ask his own questions, and the NPC will respond to your keywords you provide in your questions. I posted a screenshot about this. This is inspired off of Everquest''s way of interacting with NPC''s. http://phil.webula.net/game.JPG

It's great that you're making progress with this project, but the parser has lots of problems. Maybe this conversation I had can help guide you.

Out of curiosity, why shouldn''t it be saved in JPG?

I''m glad you asked, this is something everyone who uses the internet should know.

For line art/guis/cartoon drawings - eg. lots of flat colour,
png/gif are superior(look better AND smaller filesize)

For natural images - eg. photographs, images with texture,
jpeg is superior(look almost identical with way better filesize)

When jpeg is used incorrectly (for things other than "natural images"), it looks totally fugly.

example: (45,961 bytes)

See what I mean by fugly?

now using 24 bit png(17,394 bytes), almost 1/3 of the size.

Perfect quality.

The difference is clear.(pun intended)
Use the appropriate format for your images.

I''d personally not reccommend saving as a GIF, not after the whole GIF patent debacle.

You don''t have to worry about that unless you write a program that loads/saves gifs. (If you use other APIs that have a license for it, that''s ok too AFAIK)

The GIF patent expired already in the US and I believe it expires in Europe this summer (or maybe it already did, I can''t remember).

I can imagine...

Player -> Do you have the über-death sword forged by the Creator Himself?
Armorer -> Yes, I have one lying around here.
