Learning to Make a Game: Video #2

Ok, so I haven't done much with this since the last update but I thought I'd share what little I have done anyway. So far I've just made a small area to test out some of the things I want to implement like NPCs, chests, and movable scenery. Unfortunately I've not been able to find the information I need to be able to figure out how to implement those things. I think I've found something dealing with NPCs, so I'll be looking into that soon, but something that's more important to me right now is figuring out how to make a chest interactive, and how to make it give you something, also, I need to make the little character guy able to move barrels so he can leave the little room he is in.

I took a break from this particular game to try and make something like Asteroids but, holy crap, I don't understand how to make Asteroids at all, haha. I thought it would be easy enough to make a little ship fly around and shoot space rocks, but I was very wrong. Physics and maths are two things I just don't know how to do, haha.
