I have the idea to use real time hp/pp rolling meters. THey are constantly increasing/decreasing if the target doesn't match the currrent P. THus, mortal damage could be avoided.

Oh so you mean real-time battle ? I don't think this type of battle engines fits a calculator game ...

Not real time. Turncbased, but life is constantly flowing.

That would require the use of states flags I guess ? Which will have an effect during the whole battle ?

Mainly HP. PP is too low to have a real impact. If you take more damage than your life, your life meter will ocnstantly go down, but you still can heal yourself and avoid death iuntil the rolling meter rolls down to 0.

The main flag is to detect if someone fall down during an action, and change the turn flow, like channeling the heal to someone else, or invalidate the action, even after the action animation.

I still find that a bit overkill ... A turn-based system à la FFTA seems good to me though.

Meh. If you'll play Mother 3, you'll start to love it.

The thing is that then, all Axe graphical commands will be unefficient with that method, and since Axe provides a fair lot of them ... You or anyone else (certainly not me, I can't do that) will have to rewrite from scratch all graphical routines the whole game would use to work with vertical buffers. I think that's an enormous time-eating task x.x
I have line, circle, rectangle, pixel, sprite (clipped), tile, text, menu, LCD updating, grayscale, tilemap. Anything else?

EDIT: Also, the battle engine itself could use horizontal buffers, too, so that pure Axe could be used. I could also make a routine to convert a vertical buffer to a horizontal buffer or vice versa, and I could make an LCD update that works with both types of buffers.

Using two sets of routines doing the same thing with differently aligned buffers is a huge waste of space. You'll have either to make your tilemapper work with horizontal buffers and use Axe's graphical routines, or replace all Axe's graphical routines by yours with an axiom and all the project will only use your axiom to work with vertical buffers.

So, does this mean that battles and stuff will happen on the tilemap? I thought they would occur on their own setting, allowing you to use horizontal buffers for battle and vertical buffers for displaying the tilemap.

It's the case, battles have their own terrain, but then since it permits the use of horizontal buffers, we'll use Axe's graphical commands and the tilemap will use yours, so the final program will include two versions of the same routine, one for each buffer alignment, which is a huge waste of space.
Thus, we need to choose one buffer alignment that will be used for the whole game, else we'll end up wasting hundreds of bytes writing routines to handle both alignments.

Ah, that is true. I have been optimising for speed, so currently, all of the 'duplicated' graphics routines take 979 bytes. It is doubling the graphics speed while keeping it running smoothly, too.

So the best solution would be to build an axiom with a vertically-aligned version of Axe's graphical routines, and use this axiom instead of all Axe's functions. Also, direct plotSScreen access will need to be done differently.
