Searching for templates/tutorials

Hey y'all, I'm helping a friend with a school project and am in need of either templates or tutorials on what is probably fairly easy stuff.

1) A passcode unlock. For this, the user would have to input a 4 digit code. If correct, they can move on. If incorrect, they will have to start over

2) Scrolling text box. You know, one that the user can drag up and down, but only to a certain extent.

Thanks for any help!

@tatiang how would I adjust it so that instead of displaying the numbers "312/whatever you entered", it'll show * instead of the numbers?

In the Otherwise section of the password actor, I display game.password. If you want 's instead, use a different attribute (e.g. game.passwordMask) and each time a button is pressed for a new number, concatenate '' onto the end of it just like I've done with game.password. Then display game.passwordMask instead.
