simpleRPG v1.9 An RPG in Excel!

[clut]

As the title suggests, I've developed an RPG in Excel.

I've spent a long time testing and tweaking the game to make sure it's easy to play, challenging to complete and above all, fun.

You can download the game at www.alanchapman.net/oggames. Click on the simpleRPG text on the left hand side of the page.

Hope you enjoy it.

Hmmm I'd be a lot more likely to play it if I could check out the source first (you have it locked). I'm sure it's perfectly fine, but unfortunately there is just too much bad a site-unseen macro can do.

The code is locked to prevent people from cheating during the game, and bypassing the score validation system.

I'd be more than happy to send you an un-protected version for you to check out later on if you want it.

"simpleRPG_b1.11.xls'!ThisWorkbook.OnRightArrowKeyPress' can not be found"

Please, help me.

Rafters,

What version of Excel are you using, and also, have you enabled macros?

Ha! I think it's a fun little game. Nice work!

1) MS-EXCEL 97 SR-2.
2) yes, I have.

Hmm,

maybe Excel 97 doesn't support remapping the keys to different functions... maybe someone more experienced could help me out on this.

If this does turn out to be the case, I could add 'Up, Down, Left and Right' move buttons to the screen. that should fix.. errr, bypass the issue.

Clut.

I tried at home (Excel 2007), and it didn´t work too.

Thanks for helping.

For what it's worth, I used it on 2007 without issue.
