RGSS scripting dissections and explinations

[kyonides]

Well, naming a scene after a person is not a good idea since it won't describe what the scene will do if you call it... What about you making a scene like this?

First we create a few objects that represent real life stuff.

Code:

class LivingBeing
  attr_accessor :name, :age
end

Code:

class Person < LivingBeing
  attr_reader :pets # only gets @pets value (an Array or basket for all of the pets)
  def initialize
    @name = ""
    @age = 0
    @pets = [] # The basket you bought for your kittens!
  end
end

Code:

class Pet < LivingBeing
  attr_accessor :attitude # gets and sets @attitude 's value (a string, a text, a label)
  def initialize
    @name = ""
    @age = 0
    @attitude = ""
  end
end

Here comes the scene itself!

Code:

class Scene_PetConvention # Everything takes place in a Pet Convention!
  def main # Everything that happens once the convention has started
    siletrea = Person.new # you're a person, aren't you? O_o?
    siletrea.name = "Siletrea" # you've got a name of your own
    siletrea.age = 22 # Guessing here...
    @puma = Pet.new # setting up a specific pet object representing... Puma!
    @puma.name = "Puma"
    @puma.age = 10 # Guessing here...
    @puma.attitude = "aggressive" # yeah, the poor cat girl is a claw-happy kitten
    siletrea.pets << @puma # you placed all of your pets in a basket or anything like that
    dervvulfman = Person.new
    dervvulfman.name = "DerVVulfman"
    dervvulfman.age = 60
    @patches = Pet.new
    @patches.name = "Patches"
    @patches.age = 12
    @patches.attitude = "spoiled" # yeah, he spoils all of his cats :P
    dervvulfman.pets << @patches
    @owners = [siletrea, dervvulfman] # Now both of you are partaking in the contest!
    Graphics.transition # The announcer lets the owners and their pets come in
    loop do # The contest is being broadcasted!
      Graphics.update # Like a video, it needs to scan the surroundings every so often, like every second
      Input.update # Whatever people say or a poll to collect people's votes
      update # Define what you want the audience or the organizers or the judges or the pets do during the contest
      break if $scene != self # If show is over, let the announcer tell who was the winner pet
    end # End of the broadcast
    Graphics.freeze # Last picture taken with any cam or cellphone
    @owners.clear # dispose of anything related to the owners
  end

  def update
    # The contest takes place here in this case... Any changes should go here
  end
end

Keep in mind # or pound symbol or hash symbol or whatever you wanna call it, turns anything behind it into a comment in Ruby, and Ruby ignores comments!

Edit: I also had to correct my previous reply because I misread a couple of little mistakes you made like mixing the roles > ms pacman and < pacman have in scripts. (So > is no longer reverse pacman? You made it sound like the evil Inverse Flash back then. )
