k, sorry all for the bad intro by my friend. He's still kinda new to Ti community. anyways, i'm working on this project in the absense of zelda, since i'm waiting for xlib. so far, i'm main programmer, but once zelda is resumed, ill hand it over to lucky. this game will basicly be advance wars, but in space
@dyfunction:hope its all right with u for us to make this game. If it conflicts with Defilers, we can stop production.
Features: mission oriented
-5 or more mission for human
-5 mission for Necroid(alien) once u beat human campaign
-multiplayer(2 people on one calc)

so far, intro is done, and start work on missions. ill post screenie as soon as possible. If anyone would be willing to help beta test, just post ur email here...we might also release a demo :)smile.gif

I'd obviosly be willing to sprite if you'd like, oh, and I love the alien name (:

dragon_lance: I've got absolutely no problem with you making a space-based TBS. In fact we can communicate and share ideas if you'd like. Unfortunately Graphlink seems to be broken on my computer, but I'll upload the program file instead tomorrow to show you my cursor movement. Be warned, it's a bit complicated, since I have some sprites 8x8 and some 16x16, and I have a rather complicated routine to make the cursor match the larger sprites.

hehehe, thx man :)smile.gif necro, i tried ur movement method u posted in Chosen, but it doesn't seem to work for me. right now, i have a working cursor system, but its SUPEr slow since it uses A LOT of if-then statements. :(sad.gif
@dyfunction: thatd be great if u could post ur code sometime  :)smile.gif
@necro: u think u can make any more 6*6 space ship sprites, so far i have enough, but maybe more alien ones. Plan-5 human, 5 alien. btw, i'll also prob need a planet(star port). thx

I changed a few things from necros movement thing to suit my needs better but used it as a base.  Its unoptomized but here's the current code I use:

c1-->
CODE
ec1Repeat 0
getKey->K
If K=0:End
If K=25 or K=34
[A]((Y/8)+T+(K=25)+(3(K=34)),(X/8)+S+1)->L
If K=24 or K=26
[A]((Y/8)+T+2,(X/8)+S+2(K=26)->L
If fpart(L)=.1
Then
X->Z:Y->:theta:
If K=24 or K=26
Then
If X/8+S+(K=26)<=5 or X/8+S-(K=24)>=(W-7)
(X+8(K=26)-8(K=24))->X
End
If K=25 or K=34
Then
If (Y/8+T+(K=34)<=3 or (Y/8+T-(K=25)>=(H-5)
(Y/8(K=34)-8(K=25))->Y
End
If X=Z
S+(K=26)-(K=24)->S
If Y=:theta:
T+(K=34)-(K=25)->T
If K=24 or K=25 or K=26 or K=34:Then
real(2,0,S,T,W,H,0,12,0,8,0,0,0
real(1,X,Y,1,8,2,1,0,0,0,1
End
End
Endc2
ec2

S=Map Horiz. Offset
T=Map Vert. Offset
X=Character X location
Y=Character Y location
H=Height of Map
W=Width of Map

This mode keeps you in the middle until you reach the edge of a map, then it moves the character.

EDIT:  I got rid of all the gotos. ;)wink.gif

Ok, you guys need to get rid of the Lbls and Gotos. Also most of the Ifs. The

:If K=0:End

Is unnecessary.

@dysfunction:  I know the labels and gotos are bad, I was just too lazy at the time to get rid of them.  EDIT:  I just removed them from my game.  Now to update the code.  EDIT:  Code updated.  dragon_lance: if you hate gotos, you may want to check the updated code.  I removed all of them.

:gotosuck:goto.gif

Also, although the "If K=0:End" is unnecessary, it makes your key presses run faster and gives a better response time so that it doesnt go through the whole loop everytime, only that very short loop.  In my mind, its worth the extra 5-10 bytes to make it run that much faster.

thx, ill try it out pronto!
Title: Star ship commander

I'm not sure how If K=0:End would result in better response time. Certainly it would increase framerate when a key is not being pressed, but since nothing is happening when a key is not pressed, I can't see how that would matter. All it should do is slow it down a bit when a key IS pressed, since it has that extra If to go through.

I only see the use for grayscale stuff , but I used Repeat Getkey:end instead
Title: Star ship commander
Post by: tenniskid493 on December 20, 2005, 02:01:00 am
It increases the frame rate while you aren't doing anything so it isn't in the loop somewhere when you press the key, its always right at the getkey.  I don't know, maybe it doesn't help, I'll check it out later.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 20, 2005, 02:33:00 am
what is good is that it makes key detection a bit better
Title: Star ship commander
Post by: dysfunction on December 20, 2005, 07:43:00 am
OK, I see now... I'll have to actually try it though.

Post by: tenniskid493 on December 20, 2005, 10:54:00 am
I've never actually tested it, it was just a theory I had.
