Title: Gba library v1.0 for TI-83+/TI-84+
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 06, 2007, 03:00:00 pm
From http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/394/39478.html

"Inspired by Game Boy Advance programmation, GBA library was created to make the programmation of game-boy like games easier. Indeed, this program provides drawing and multidirectionnal-scrolling map routines, drawing sprites routines, and a collision routine very usefull when you make a platform game. What’s more, GBA is not an ordinary library because it works as an external file : no need to copy a part of the program, just call it directly after initialising it with an include file (provided in this folder)."

Make sure to check this out!

That GBA thing looks awesome! It's almost like gba68k, except ppl will have to make their own game  ;)wink.gif

I also saw Metroid II which was truly awesome. I never knew you could do that in BASIC. I love the title screen  :)smile.gif

Well xlibman, maybe this engine will help you learn ASM :)smile.gif  it looks like it's really powerful and easy to use, which is probably the best thing for new ASM learners.

necro, if it is fully translated, you should either e-mail to the author, ticalc it, or both. Awesome job, man! :thumbup:google.gif

now all we need is a guy who knows both English and French at mother-tongue level...

Well, I have decided to run this through several translators and compile their results...hopefully this will produce a more readable translation as i am not satisfied with that one.  Actualy, this is working great and I should be able to make a very good translation.  Kevin, I would not ask you try to make this perfect but could just read through the original and the english for any big errors (not gramar) you notice?

Also, I am formating it in html like the original so its compatable with all the images and files.

hmm, there are bits giving me trouble so I would say that actualy, it might take until some time thursday to translate (ran into some issues with school that pushed me back more)

Hi folks!
i'll try to make it short because i can't speak English very easily...
First, thank you Necro for the translation, i think i can finish it and then post the new version on ticalc! (there were small bugs in the program) Of course, you'll have credits :)smile.gif

In fact, my computer crashed up about a year and a half ago, and i lost all my programs (i was working on gravitation, the Playstation Net Yaroze game, and Castlevania), but some sprites images. I just decided to rewrite the most important routines of gravitation and gather them into a lib.
So gba is the engine i used to rewrite Castevania, and now, i have nearly finished it. There are 16 different sprites, 3 bosses, 4 whips, 6 auxiliary weapon... i just have to make the script (sprite texts and maps...)

 hey welcome here! that sucks you all lost that stuff :/confused.gif I hate when this happens to me :(sad.gif, I lost an entire BASIC RPG with 2 months of work once back in 2002 and i quitted calcs for 4 months afterward

I can't wait to try castlevania :)smile.gif. Btw you should post about this in the French section of Omnimaga (right below the miscellanous, introduce yourself and spam forum), as we have multiple language community sub forums now :Dbiggrin.gif (and french is my native language as well, as i am from Quebec)

I made a translation that includes the pictures and original format with google it is also a little clearer than necro's. I am going to rephrase some of the obvious sentences to make a little more sense. Here http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2FView%3Fdocid%3Ddcd4cw8d_0g6wx8z%26revision%3D_published&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools is the link

Here is the link to a touched up version:
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dcd4cw8d_21d3p5vv&revision=_published
I reccomend just downloading the page into your gba library file. There are a few words that I still don't know what the original meaning was supposed to be. The main one is the word "charged" when referring to sprites.

So, did anybody start making a game that uses this library?
And how is Castlevania?

This reminds me of my not-so-started not-so-secret project of direct porting Super Mario land 1 to the 83+. which I should get around to some time soon.

no problem, this is a term i didnt saw until late 2005 i think. Back when Maxcoderz used Ikonboard forum system (before 2005) people said "stop reviving dead zombies" instead of "stop necroposting" :Dbiggrin.gif. On french forums it has always been (translated to english) "stop bumping topics" %)rolleyes2.gif
