TUTORIAL - Making a game on a mac with applescript part 1

I'm quite new to Applescript but I'm getting the hang of the simple stuff. Hope everyone finds this tutorial helpful! It's a 2-parter and heres the second half:

P.S. Damn, forgot about the "giving up after 3" line :( Well, I'll try and explain it in text: All it means is that the window will close after 3 seconds, simple eh?

This is why I hate programming, I've typed exactly what you have for the very first line of code and I'm getting this "Expected “,” but found identifier."

@Krondelo Could you reply to this comment with your first line of code and I'll try and let you know what's going on :)

usually in an text adventure game if you misspell something or accidently press enter the system replies what? or you cant do that. how do i get that to work?

ps all yall beneath me your problem is the command is actually

set answer_1 to text returned of (display dialog "your words here"default answer "Whatever"

if and answer_1 contains "gibberish" then display dialog "blah blah blah"

DONT WRIGHT IN CAPS FOR ANSWERS the system wont under stand the text. must be lc

If you could repost this video with the brightness turned down a bit, it would be great.

i can't see what u'r typing, and it's imperative that you get every spelling and word correct, and i can't always hear what u'r saying, write the code in the description as well!

How do I make it so when I do choose from list, where it recognizes and does something for each choice?

@assassin3004 I guess I'm just an idiot lol. I had spelled it Dialogue. I'm surpised such a mistake went unnoticed. Thanks for your help anyway.
