Okay, well, I tried getting help on this from someone on another forum, but they ran into a dead-end. So I'm asking for someone from here to help out now. The person who was helping me out uploaded his latest update on this mini-game here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N3H63VOA

If you don't have any idea about what the Shell Game is, check out 0:30~0:49 of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E28CKkIrdqs.

I'm not really looking for this mini-game to be entirely realistic. I'm pretty much just looking for it to be set up like how it is in the Suikoden vid. 'Cause, really, this is just a "one-time" mini-game for a festival in my game; it's only gonna be used for a single in-game day. It's not gonna be around forever like in Chrono Trigger, so I don't need something overly-complex. I don't want the mini-game to be -so- easy(or exploitable), that you're able to win a ton of money so soon, but I also don't want it to be so hard where it's pretty much impossible to win. I'm looking for something in between, if possible.

Thanks to anyone who's willing to help!

I could make that without a problem, but it would not be in it's own screen. It would be a real event in the real game.

It would work the same, but it would be in real time instead of a paused menu

So you mean it'd be set up where you talk to the NPC, and when you choose to play the mini-game, it "pops up" on the same map kind of like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTGCiReX8LA ?

It's not quite like that but it's.. well.. have a look:

Is this kind of getting to the point of what you're looking for? To get it to look like how it does in the video would require a script, and I am not a scripter ^-^.

Very good eventing sasofrass! I tried the demo myself and I was very pleased

Hn. While your variation is nice, sasofrass, it's not exactly what my friend and I are looking for, for our game. Are you sure that having the mini-game set up as in the vid, would require a script? Our game already has a good amount of scripts, and I'm not too keen on the idea of having another just for a mini-game.

The one you want in this vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E28CKkIrdqs) would require a script, it is done in it's own menu.

The one in this vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTGCiReX8LA) is more possible with events, but it would be difficult to make, but I think I could do that.

I see. But I still don't think it'd require it's own script. The last person who helped me with this seemed to be on the right track to how my friend and I envisioned it. But like I said before in the OP, he's run into a dead-end. His latest attempt at it is in the OP, too, if you want to download and take a look at it.

Awesome start! I can finish this without a problem. I'll have it back to you in a day

FINISHED! It didn't take to long, and if you want anything changed, let me know!

PS. I removed the blur, it kept bugging up on me

Ah. Thank you, it's great! Just noticed one little thing, though, I'm able to bet 0. o:
