How to Create Horror in Games
Horror. Horror. HORROR! Very few LT games contain even a very small grain of horror in them. Is this inability to write in this elusive and difficult genre? I can't say that for sure. Nonetheless, I have written this tutorial for those who wish to make their games more creepy, but don't know where to start. After all, what's the point of a zombie without decent tension? BE WARNED! THIS ARTICLE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED!

Learning JScript
To make your game dynamic and interesting, you need to know either JScript or VBScript. JScript is my preference, so heres my tutorial.

Extended Data
Extended data is a way to make the game more realistic, in some cases. You can use extended data to change a creatures attack hit/miss message, make custom actions or ready a creature to join the party.

Chests
Now I will tell you how to make a chest that is locked, and the way to get a key to unlock it.

Shrines
If you've played Diablo 2, you know what I mean. You walk up to it, use it, and receive its bonus or curse.

Mini-Games
Sure your making a major game, but how about a small respite? Mini-games are good fun, and you can even gamble in them.

Making NPC's Talk In .vbs
How to write NPC conversations in the much neglected language of .vbs.

Gambling Scripts
Gambling was a large occupation in medieval times, with the chance often to win a large sum of money. However, many people lost money, possessions, and even their lives to this vice. Here are three games, from then, and from today.

It depends on the person. But generally within a week or two a person has the proficiency to write a script unaided. Complex scripting takes longer to understand.
