What kind of minigames can I make with Visual Novel Maker without the use of a script? If I do need a script for certain ones, are there any pre-made scripts I could use?
I was specifically wondering if a Candy Crush or Huniepop styled minigame would be possible. If not, I can go for a simple card game or maybe even something simpler.
I'm willing to answer any questions people may need to know the answers to in order to properly respond to my inquiry.
Thank you in advance!

In my experience, even if you can virtually do anything with the 'blocks' system, you may encounter some limitations when trying out particularly complex real-time (non-turn-based) challenges. If you do need a script, the API does not provide pre-made ones appositely for new minigames, as far as I know, so if you don't want to script a thing on your own you can only work with the API that the engine uses on his own (maybe something for scripted UI or extensions support?).
Candy Crash and Huniepop are a perfect example of what you can do with the blocks system only, but it's going to be pretty elaborate (either with or without scripting). Don't take just my words for it, though: just try and you'll see for yourself. :kaoswt:
You can still ask for help on the forum (personally, I'd be really happy of lending a hand).
EDIT: my gosh so many typos -
@FoxySeta Thanks! I think I'll figure out how to do a CC/Huniepop based minigame at some point.

Nice choice:kaojoy:
Good luck then! -
Hi RaynRayn,
there is a premade mini-game without scripts shipped with VN Maker. If you create a new project, you can select a template and there is a "Black Jack Example" which creates a small Black Jack like game without script.
The latest BETA of VN Maker has now easier usable in-game drag & drop features. I also think block based games could be done, even a battle system could be done without script. However, no script doesn't mean it is super easier to be done with a few clicks. You still need to learn and understand the built-in commands well, especially variables and common events. But we are happy to help you out if you get stuck :) -
@Kentou Thank you so much for your help!
