Getting started

First Preparations

Once you have started PaC-DK and try to create a game from your empty project you will get a bunch of error messages. Before a game can be created some things have to be done first.

Open the Projectsetup and enter a Name for your game (can be changed later) also you should choose a resolution. The resolution cannot be changed once you have created a room. At "Startscript" you need to enter a name for a script. This script will start with your game. I recommend "start" as a standard name. The script does not need any contents for now.

You need to add at least one font to your project.

Mouseicons are not neccessary to be able to create a game but you should add a standard mouseicon anyway.

Now you need a few Gamecommands. For now you can use the mouseicons-only method. First add some gamecommands like "open", "talk" or "use" to the project, then add some mouseicons and assign those gamecommands to the corresponding mouseicon.

If you want you can instead use a taskbar... you can find some taskbars on the PaC-DK Homepage . In the Projectsetup you need to enter the name of this taskbar. If you do not use a taskbar make sure to disable it in the setup.

Now you should be able to create a game. A game with a black screen, a mouseicon and a default menu when you hit the Escape key.
