This is my first time designing a game with Quest.

One of the main things I want to have is a cellphone in the game; it will be used as a weak light source, searching the 'net in some situations for information, making calls/texts. It'll be a central tool.

I could use some direction for games on the cellphone, how to have a countdown for a battery, and any other suggestions.

Thanks!

here's some useful links for you:

I made a countdown, but I don't have access to it now, nor do I know when I will..., but you can try these links:

Nice, thanks. I'll take a look through them.

oops, I did post my countdown on here, hehe, here it is:

if you need help wth this stuff, let me know, and I'll try to remember how this stuff works (its been awhile), lol

That would be awesome, thanks! I have a skeleton phone made up right now, but am still tinkering with it to make it work right.

I haven't added the timer function for the battery yet, I'll do that last as it seems the most complicated. I figure I'll made the phone capable of:

Dialing out to specific numbers

Receiving texts (obviously sending a text would be problematic, but I'm going to give it some thought)

surf the web for information - I'm thinking of something like "Search wikipedia for X", though probably won't use a real site's name

In the beginning, before you bring back power to where you are, you use it as a weak light source

There will be a mini-game on it to kill time

Once I get the cellphone set up with all the functions I'll make it available to everyone to use if they like. Once I get further along, I'll post it so you can see what I've done so far if you like.
