Are you asking for ideas on how to store data in your RPG. Like how a shop can have items?

If so, here is what I came up with my RPG. it can be tweaked:

I am using an array, and each row is an item, with each slot represnting a property of an item.  
Something like:

```auto

smallshop = [["Beautiul Painting", "$500"],
["Mediocre Painting", "$250"]];

```

You know something like that, where you know the first entry is a name or price. Something to that extent. You can make it infinitely more complicated or simpler, to suit your needs.

I am still coding the engine at the moment. I am tweaking the scrolling functions to try to reduce how much code it uses, and then I have to write my inventory system.

hey thanks for the sugestion i added potions on the shelves i am adding a fruit basket on top of the table.

i was also thinkin should i change the perspective of the closet to be facing right so that the player can get near it press the “action button” and open it and find an “item” or “money”?

ur game is gonna be tile base right? i was thinkin to do my game tile base but i find doing it that way is wayyyyyyyy too advance for me and i dont really like that much the way the graphics look on a tile base rpg…at least of the ones i have seen which is not that many.

Yay that was great! I hope that the other scenes are just as good, like battle backgrounds, chatter, different locations etc.
