I tried making an RPG in VB as last year's end of year project. It was pretty easy, but I ran out of time. Experience with calculator programming definitely helped.

Progress on the weekend is dead, as could have been guessed. I think I'll make the Shift key jump.
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

it would work well for a RPG tho, actually making a RPG in VB is easy but I don't know how to create save data and handle them yet

Yea it'd be fine as long as it's not an Action RPG like Zelda or something. :)smile.gif

shift key sounds good.  i hate using the up key for jump sometimes because i can't get a good fingering so I'm jumping diagonally.

yeah the only reason why my Metroid II game used UP for jumping was because xLIB doesn't support multiple keypress for anything that isn't arrows, so with 2nd for example I couldn't allow both jumping and moving at once

that's too bad.  Can you do multiple key presses w/ other key combos?  It really annoys me how the keyboard was set up in the groups they are currently in.  It's basically:
1.) arrows
2.) 2nd, mode, del, F1-5 keys
and then every other  vertical column of keys ends up being a group as well basically.

It'd have been more convenient for calc game makers to have more convenient groups of keys, but I guess it's mainly determined by hardware set up.

Well in asm it is possible to do multiple key presses for any keys but the programmer of xLib decided to only have it for arrows. Though I could work an a small subroutine that would output a list containing key presses.
It wouldn't be that hard in fact the hardest part would but making the list. Or if it is requested I could output it the way xLib does it but I don't know how xLib outputs it so I couldn't help you there.

Oh and xLIB doesnt support <+> and ^+v arrow keypresses, thus, in a DDR game you can have those combinations

Argh... It was 5AM and I randomly got an idea for the hit detection. I'll see if it works in theory later this week.
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

I'm sure I'll try to someday, but as of now that wastes the point of "VB SMB"
