Im new to qdk and im wandering if there is a way to setup a system where you can loose, and gain money without adding extra objects to your inventory. For example, in this game you sell an item. I want it in your inventory to say something like "200 dollars", instead of having to make you gain 200 "money" and have your inventory fill up with items called "money". Another example, you buy a sword, i want your "200 dollars" to become "1 dollar".

Is there a way to do that?

What you could do is have a numerical variable called “money” so you could just keep a running total. Then create an object called “200 dollars” in the room, run a script so that when a player take that object it become inaccessible and the money variable increases by 200.

Erm, instead of:

display nozero <you have ! dollars cash>

Use:

display nozero <you have ! dollar*s* cash>

As this means when you get to 1 you get "you have 1 dollar" instead of "1 dollars"...
