Title: Sprite Requests
Post by: Speler on November 11, 2007, 10:37:00 am

I need some monochrome sprites for an RPG project I'm working on:

-8x8 Blocks to make houses
-8x8 'Path'

This is all I need immediately.  The sooner I get these the sooner I'll post more details (as well as screenshots and a demo).  As I need individual sprites I'll post them.

Thanks!

The house blocks aka bricks:

11111111
00100000
00100000
11111111
11111111
00001000
00001000
11111111

The path sprite (the one provided is one in which the path is vertical; you can easily change it to be horizontal or a corner sprite):

10010001
10100001
10000011
10001001
11000001
10000101
10010001
10100001

Awesome, I think I have what I need to get the coding started.  I'll need to load a graphics editor onto my calculator tonight to speed things along though.

Implicit ftw! :P

But seriously, Implicit makes creating any type of graphics a breeze.

Thanks for all the stuff guys!

Okay, should I have a major ocean/any bodies of water?  If not I'd have to redesign a bit of the story (minor piece) and if I do what kind of graphics should I have?

 Pixel-bleeding to substitute grayscale? Interesting...

if you take the two first screenshots and switch them quickly repeatdly using xLIB you actually get the grayscale effect. The second technique would be more appropriate for the TI-89 C/ASM language though

Steps to more information for you!
-Move rest of sprites to calculator
-Finish designing world map outline

cool! I can't wait for the screenies! Will they be animated?

Post by: Liazon on November 17, 2007, 01:42:00 pm

just wondering, is this w/ xlib?

DJ Omnimaga and Liazon:  Yes and yes.

Meh, my world map is apparently to big to fit in archive, so unless someone has a good way to compress matrices (of any size) I'll have to do some redesigning.

O_O that's a lot of map then...

Haha, wow. And yes I have some advice for you on compressing. The only question I have is does it contain decimal values, and does it have any numbers over 999 or under 0?

Post by: Speler on November 20, 2007, 03:31:00 pm

Yes, no and yes.

Well then I can't really help you. :(

One thing I would recommend is maybe CIB by kalan_vod, or translating all the values from the matrix into a string. That would drastically decrease the size.

I could probably whip up a program that converts a matrix into a string, and converts a string into a matrix.

Although if you did not have decimals in your matrix, I could probably set you up with a better compression rate. Oh, well I will experiment more with it tonight.
