Project Is a Shlog Friendship Simulator a gem or coal idea?

@ECHO OFF
MKDIR c:\gameTestLol
xcopy /s c:\"This PC"\Downloads\friendshipgame d:\target\gameTestLol

I made a .bat file with this, ran it, but it didn't do anything I think. What am I doing wrong? I also did a version where it was just:
@ECHO OFF
MKDIR c:\gameTestLol
xcopy /s c:\Downloads\friendshipgame d:\target\gameTestLol

what are you trying to do with the batch file?

tell me and i can help you

I was thinking it'd be kinda funny and wholesome to have a text-based game where you try to befriend people on the shlog but I don't know who wants to be included or if it's just stupid in general. Also I've only ever finished a really simple dice game so idk how good I'd be at coding this. Maybe someone can help, yeah.

If you're looking for a starter program to make something check out Twine (https://twinery.org/ ~ An open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories). Will help teach you about storytelling, organization, and a bit of code. I used it back in the day to create the Y2K Bro's story, and still use it to this day to create the free e-version of my books.. you can easily export as HTML and upload anywhere, even a free hosting site like https://neocities.org/ or https://www.infinityfree.com/

problem 1: "This PC" is not a valid location so your pointing to nowhere since this location doesnt exist but the valid location for "This PC" is C:\users\youruser\
replace youruser with your windows user also C:\downloads doesnt exist its C:\users\youruser\Downloads
problem 2: D: is the cd/dvd drive so unless if you have a cd or dvd there your copying to nowhere you need to use C: as thats the hard drive

Thank you, I've heard of this but wanted to try learning to code in the mean time. I guess I'll keep the code but try that in the mean time. There's already the soyjak.blog neocities that jerry owns and I have access to.

oh yeah to open main.py you have to do cd the location where you copied the game to (replace this with the location you copied it to)
and then python main.py

add this after xcopy

cd location where you copied the game (replace with actual location where you copied the game
python main.py

 

[jerry_blevins]

if the code works it should copy the file to C:\target\gameTestLol and open the game there
and you could find the game in C:\target\gameTestLol

Twine has the ability to use HTML, CSS, and add sound effects, however it makes it super easy to organize the slides of your story. This was my first time using it so it's a bit sloppy, but you get the idea..

 

[nagolbud]

you can do more with actual code on pcs then websites i think

Websites are literally just code hosted on someone else's PC... lawl.

 

[jerry_blevins]

and you could find the game in C:\target\gameTestLol

if you want it to copy to C:\gameTestLol remove C:\target\gameTestLol and replace it with C:\gameTestLol

I looked through the documentation and couldn't understand how to assign an array to a variable or how to check if anything in the array matched up with the name the user picked (I need the array to be taken names so we don't have duplicates) (I could use a bunch of if statements but that's probably bad for the long run)
Thanks for the help, I'm going to sleep now. Maybe I'll figure it out later.

 

[nagolbud]

yes but since the code isnt running on your pc but on someone elses it usually only does a lot of things on it instead of your pc

Literally the same thing, no different on your PC or someone elses.

Visuals take too long + I can't really think of how to visualize a forum geg
I may reconsider it tho

the forum is a neighborhood each blog thread is the person's house and /dump/ is a literal dump where sprunki gooners live and other boards are all this gigaforum (Forum like Rome) with various little alcoves representing other boards or something

 

[PepsiMan]

Or better idea the forum is an actual forum (except /dump/) and the neighborhood is just normal suburbia and you can go to a shloggers house for sidequests or dating or something

All the banned users should hang out at an actual junkyard and they should look like AIDs riddled drug addicts.
Also @Soyteen Liker can you give me a QRD on the progress so far? I haven't been watching this thread

Assuming this is like one of those xitter AI horoscope type things, it has temporary gem potential, limited in time to whenever users get tired of it. Doesn't have any positive potential beyond that.
