    When I got this computer, it had a program called "Real Lives" ...its supposed to be educational (Social Studies)...but...yeah....

    So I thought I'll share it with you.

    It is basically about,. you building a character, and you make decisions...these descisions will shape your life.

    So to play, I need one voice...as in the first decalartions that I see, I shall put and I will tell you the outcome.

    So to start, I want someone to tell me, these info concerning the "life" that you are "creating":

    Code:
    Country:

    Local City Town:

    Gender:

    Surname (Tell me what letter it starts with, and I'll give you options):

    Given Name (Same as Surname): 

    Locale (Urban or Rural):

    Potential Attributes (Pick from 0 to 100 for all of these):

    Happiness:
    Intelligence:
    Artistic:
    Musical:
    Athletic :
    Strength:
    Endurance:
    Appearance:

    P.S.: I will simply be a messenger between the 'game' and you...and I am pretty sure you will find it quite interesting Smile

    "0 years old
    I was born a boy in the town of San Salvador in El Salvador.

    Your father and mother have the health issues of the goiters.
    Your father is a factory worker and your mother does domestic chores.

    They both get you 3,043 colones (currency) monthly.
    Your monthly expenses are 3,667 colones.

    Your options are to simply "Age a year".

    Shall I do so?

    Well...not really...its all text...but yeah...and its supposed to be educational (social studies)

    I was planning on just going with one...but ok, Ill make 2 files...

    This is Sayf's:

    *I could find Sheick as a surname, so I picked a random one...

    "0 years old
    I was born a boy in the city of Jiddah in Saudi Arabia's Makkah Region.

    My parents have named me Khaled. My surname is Al Basri. My mother, Nahla, is 24 and my father, Awad, is 31. I have no brothers or sisters.

    From my parents I have been gifted with the potential for exceptional intelligence, exceptional athletic ability and extraordinary good looks."

    Your father is a garbage collector-he makes 1,720 riyals monthly
    Your mother does domestic chores-no money

    You speak Arabic, and are Sunni Muslim.

    Your house is a simple 1 room house.

    Your diet is minimal.

    Your monthly income is 1,720 riyal,a dn the expenses are 1,494 riyal.

    All you could do now is "Age a year"

    Should I do so?
