no problem

It's a pity GTK+ changes so much though.  My friend had trouble setting it up because of the GTK libraries.  Well, might as well get GIMP while you're at it.

I am working on TSOD today I wrote a sprite scalling utility that supports 2x 3x and 4x zoom.

interestingly, like we talked about earlier... I was able to get this magnifying program to work in Basic but it took nearly two or three minutes to render the sprite.  When I wrote the same basic code in Tigcc... it renders in under one second!!

Actually, you might be able to render 2-4 in one second using ExtGraph with TIGCC.  It has a sprite scaling routine written in 68k ASM.

The more you know!  I didn't know that, so you mean to tell me that I wrote an entire routine that could have been done in a few lines of code,   Wow.  After looking into it I could have written this program in about 2 lines of code... <_<dry.gif  oh well, Thanks again, I will be using the mirror tool in ExtGraph.

So...
Basic =1 in  2 minutes
C      = 1 in < 1 second
ASM  = ~3 in 1 second

There you have it.  I might also rewrite the mapper with ExtGraph, seems like it would be even faster than the C version which completes in about .5 seconds

Do you need a link? Or do I need to email ExtGraph to you?

TSOD will feature an upgrade system known as "Shells".  Shells can be found throughout Arkel.  When you open a shell, a new skill can be aquired. This will prove useful if you want a character to learn a skill that they don't learn.

sound cool, i guess this will allow customising characters more, like having mage instead of warrior type, or healer, etc?

Sounds to me if you have a warrior, he learns things that the other groups learn, still leaving him as a warrior...

Exactly what tifreak8x said only there will be some special skills that can only be unlocked through shells.

I am still working on it...nothing is more difficult than building a battle system.
