In this series, you'll create a slide show.
It's really a conversation system that's simple and linear.
It's a project to prepare you to the branching dialogue system
we'll make in the next chapter.
As you can see see,
you'll have dialogue lines with animated text,
pictures that go with the text,
and the ability to move forward through the slides.
We call it a slide show,
because really the principle behind a dialogue system,
as you see in Japanese RPGs or some slides is very similar.
There are not so many differences in the code,
and we want to get that idea across.
We're going to make it into two stages.
First, we'll just display the text and have a next button to flip through it.
This is just to simplify setting up the interface
and get started with the bulk of the code,
which is about reading from dictionaries and flipping through the slides.
Then we'll improve the visuals in the second part,
where we'll add a picture,
and we'll add some more information to our dictionaries
and look at tween animation,
which is animation handled by the computer,
which you can produce via code.
With that, we'll get started in the next part.
See you there.
