* DJ Omnimaga hopes it isn't too large, though. D:

I got the World Map added in.  The current size is 11500ish bytes, with 4500ish of that being level data.  When Exodus is done, it will be between 13000 and 15000 bytes with 5000ish more bytes needed on runtime.  So, yeah, it'll fit. ;D

Having the World Map added in is awesome!  Screenie tomorrow. :D

24 :)

New screenies tonight, showcasing the world map in action! ;D

Next up is tackling the tutorial feature.  Current code size is around 10700 bytes. ;)

Map looks really nice! Especially for such a large size (9x9). So I assume it replaces the Input  for levels now?

We need to make a list of masterpieces in TI-BASIC to put almost certainly Exodus in 1st place.

Well, then you're leaving out stuff like Serenity.  There are some pretty great BASIC games out there.

Yeah it would be hard to judge which would come first, but there are certainly a bunch of great BASIC games.

Judging them tends to lead to anger and such, so how about just saying "this is the list of the best BASIC games we've ever seen" and alphebatize them.

Well the issue that often comes up is "X game isn't great because it's too large" or "it doesn't have good-enough graphics" or "it's too simple/short" or such comments. We can't judge a game quality based on our personal gaming preference. It needs to be judged in overall. Just because a game is massive doesn't make it bad. Plus, some games are very old and may not use the best techniques, but back in the days they were considered as masterpieces.

Looks great! The loading is not that cool, but yeah, great game not only on the programmer's view but on the user's too!

Exodus will be released between 3 PM and 6 PM tomorrow (forum standard time).
The final size is just over 12000 bytes. :)  I decided not to add the tutorial feature as I'm already cutting it close on space as is. :D

Two final screenies before the release:

This one demonstrates the DCS icon and the program size.  Also, look at what happens when I land on the spikes...


This one shows all of the Bonus Secrets.  They're all pretty fun. ;D


Don't miss the release tomorrow. ;D
