I was thinking about it.
Could you do this?
The only issue I can think of would be the data saving and loading...
By subroutines, I mean using the Asm() command in a BASIC program to run an Axe-compiled program.
-
Yeah you can. It is best used using XCOPY, found in Illusiat 13 or in the downloads section. It's currently the only real way to pull a RPG with Axe, because of the 8.1 KB executable code limit. For data saving/loading you have to store the temporary data in appvars.
-
How do you put that data out of the appvar?
Celtic III?
-
I think Celtic III would be the only way to go for that. MY approach, though, would cause only program launching to be written in BASIC, though. So there would be no data accessed from TI-BASIC. Just between Axe programs.
PRGM:RPGEXE
:0→X:Asm(prgmXCOPY
:0→X:"RPGTITLE
:Asm(prgmXCOPY:prgmXTEMP000:0→X:Asm(prgmXCOPY
:Repeat pxl-test(0,0
:0->X
:"RPGSTOP
:If 1=pxl-test(0,1:"RPGMAP
:If 1=pxl-test(0,2:"RPGBATTL
:If 1=pxl-test(0,3:"RPGEVENT
:Asm(prgmXCOPY:prgmXTEMP000:0→X:Asm(prgmXCOPY
:End
Before exiting each Axe subroutines, you would need to turn on a pixel in particular to define which routine you want to run. In addition to that, pixel(0,0) would be always turned ON when exiting each sub-routines, unless you are quitting the game! BACKUP first, though! I did not test the code above, but it's just to give you an idea about how I migth do it.
Obviously, the program would be much compex than that, but it's just to give a small idea of how to do it without the hassle of trying to access Axe appvars in BASIC.

Maybe this program?
