I have a project for my AP Computer Science class. We need to create a game that is somewhat like another. I want to make a game that's like Finalstory, but I don't know how to program it. We need to use the program Greenfoot. Anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Problem is, FS is made via RPG Maker XP, which is coded in Ruby...
Unless you can find some way to make a coffee game somewhat like a turn-based RPG, that could be problematic...

-goes to google at 2AM where I should be working on my project instead but helps out you-

Uhh....
If you can make senarios where there is a text that explains what you can do, control a character (or animal)/object, then set in the commands to what they can do if you press a key (such as spacebar makes one object unleash a skill).... but since this is not really turn-based, I'm guessing you might have some problems with this.

Nice Avatar, Neo. :)
Why did you choose all the cool ones? XD

Ehhh, coffee thingy isn't my forte...heck, I never tried it before. The only time I've ever see it in action was when I was 4, and my dad was messing with a notepad file...

You'd basically have to make the whole engine yourself... which would take months. I'd just go with making something simple like tic tac toe, 4 in a row or other games like that. Maybe bomberman?

That's so boring though D:
And I need some extra credit, so I want to make something that will blow my teacher's mind.
Hence, the RPG.
