Hey all, I'm here with another question (sorry I'm spamming the forums so much, I'm doing the Ludum Dare, and this is the fastest way of getting information.)

I have a character that dies, and I want the screen to dip to black when he dies and display a message. What is the code I'll need for that?

The easiest way is to draw a black rectangle which fills up the screen with an alpha of 0 and increase the alpha.

Alright, that works. Is there no prebuilt command to fade in or anything?

No.
Unlike some other tools out there, Monkey gives you complete control and full access the the code that makes it all work. So you have complete control.
