ah OK that was my mistake i just copy and pasted it but im still pretty sure its not supposed to do that.

this is the exact code

assoc .rb=RubyScript
ftype RubyScript=ruby.exe %1 %*

im pretty sure i have a special ability to do these kinda things

It's like a street gang. You have to be beaten in. We'll all gather round and beat off the new guy. A whole gang of sweaty man, beating on a fresh meat until they finish.

are you feelin it now Mr.Crabs?

yea i broke everything im just gonna ask someone who i know personally and knows what their doing to fix this (unlike me)

so i attempted this and...um i think i broke everything.... does me having windows 8 change anything? since windows 8 is the worst thing ever

yet another question

i wanted to know is it possible to give ruby a console look? since that was the whole reason i was using .batch to create the game

If you do decide to go with an actual programming language and you run into problems have questions, post them here and I'm always happy to help.

well that was fast. well any ways i need help with these two lines of code

print "whats your username?"
first_name = gets.chomp

so theres nothing wrong with them but the course on CodeCademy says that first_name is declaring that the input is now a variable. How?

I think you really just need to ask yourself what you're trying to get out of this. Do you want to use this as an opportunity to learn to code? Do you want to use this as an opportunity to write a well thought out story? Or perhaps you're just looking to have a good end product that you give some direction with?

actually i am aiming to do this learn code and a story and that kind of thing i am not aiming to make money of of this or any kind of profit. its just that kind of thing were you have a inspiration to do something and you don't really understand why except for the pure learning experience

Well yea... you got a good point and i notice now i should have been a little bit more specific with what i said. Yea its currently just a idea i don't have anything to be very proud of. when i said i hardly knew any code i meant language wise meaning i don't know a lot of languages sorry i should've said that in the first place. but about the story yea your right i don't know jack about writing a good story and i am trying to learn a bit more about how to write a story worth anything reading good creepy pastas random literature that are praised for being good and usually attempting something that results in using food as a coping mechanism for how bad the abomination i had just made was. so thanks for pointing that out and yea batch does have a bad wrap when it comes to random game downloads.

Thanks! i will definitely give them a shot.

i dont have much of the game done but i have a basic idea of where im going to take it story wise but how im going to execute the code to do that? well... thats a different story entirely

well actually i need help in general. right now im the only person working on what i want to make out to be atleast a short but good story driven game. Since i hardly know any code and im barely scraping by with what i have and plus im horrible at making a good story thats not filled to the brim with cliches.

actually yes to teach me the basics i followed that exact same guide but those are only the basics. im pretty sure that batch files run off of CMD code which is thankfully easy to learn the necessitys for what im wanting to do.

thanks? i guess.

hey everybody!   as the title says i need help with making a SCP text based game! if you do not know what SCP is it stands for secure contain protect and they basically make the FBI look like babies by getting a bunch of big bad monsters into one place and messing around with them. but I need help im making the game Via batch file and i think its coming out fine but i can tell im going to need help either it's learning more code or getting someone else to work on the project with me but if you have any advice on what i should do feel free to reply!

so hiya! im furryequinox as you can tell im kinda new to being on fourms so... uh thats pretty much it
