y have a problem with the actor and cant load it..in game.inc need to be a actor if no when load the game can to be any error..check if the molly actor work..if no copy the actors from directory of the turorial in wintermute install in your project

for cube.script y have a error.check the script
check your directory keys.inc for see y have the var VK_LEFT       = 37; and right...

for SkipTo dont know..post script if y can.

Hello

I have a couple of ideas

The first is the way that Wintermute works.  When the software is loaded a number of game scripts are running, these scripts amongst other things set up the game enironment and run the main game loop, they also provide core game elements in terms of the access to the systems menu, control the appearance of the inventory, bring up the right click menu and move the main object.

The two scripts are game.script and game_loop.script

One of the nice things about WME is that you can amend these scripts but you run the risk of stuffing things up big time if you get it wrong.

By default game.script expects molly as the main object so if you remove her from your system you have to alter game.script otherwise you will get the error message

In addtion to the main game/game_loop scripts wme runs a script for every scene that you create, these scene_init scripts also call for Molly aka actor.  So if you are going to take molly out of things there is a little bit of work to do.  My advice to you if you are just starting is to make make molly non active you can do this with a line of code

actor.Active = False.

regarding the problem with the key board  the keyboard character constants are supplied in a file call keys.inc
If you wish to use them in any script you need  the line

#include "scripts\keys.inc"
at the tope of your script, below the #include "scripts\base.inc" line.
In respect of you 2d square. I would make it a scene object.
I would have the controlling code in the scene_init file in a loop, which is only exited when you exit the scene.  I am not sure if attaching a script to the object will do anything
