L=0; Base row, starting on the bottom of the map
M=0; Base column, starting on the left of the map
I have completed:
L=0 - L=30
L=0 - L=27, M=7 - M=8
L=28 - L=30, M=7 - M=9
I hope that is understandable...
So far, there is three map packs, and I am trying to keep the map packs down below 4000 bytes...

Section 2:L=12 - L=24, M=7 - M=8

It is a fairly fun game, you would like it I am sure...Anyways, I have on paper all the characters that cannot be walked on or through in their respective directions, plus I also decided the jump from ledge routines will be in 3 seperate events, to make things a lil smoother...
I just wish I was sick enough that I didn't have to go to work, I could just program all day... :D
Post by: tifreak on December 08, 2005, 04:35:00 am
Using a for loop, which will definitely cause lag time
Using a sub-program, which will contain all 4 directions worth of hit detection.
I was wondering if any one might have a different suggestion.

Right now, I am working on adding text to the intro. I have decided that the intro will not be the exact same, because I always thought the way you had to decide your name was kinda... bad. :D
And I think I will leave out the whole special name thing, since that will add additional files, etc, and I am trying to make this game like the original, only as small as possible on calc.If anyone thinks that I should still have it select from a list, or have it typed in, I will consider it.
I got the box clearing routine done fairly quickly, and the total size of my Text displayer program is 181 bytes. Not bad, eh?
Once I get the intro complete, add an in-game menu, and make it to where some of the buildings are accesible, I will upload a new version, this time with a readme that makes some sense. :)
(I think I will keep the humur in there though:| QUOTE |
| Report bugs/suggestions/praise/worship to http://tifreakware.calcgames.org/forum |
:D
I also need to add credits to the readme, so I don't forget people who helped with this game. :)
And as it stands, I am unsure what I will do about a 16x16 sprite routine. Not knocking Kerm, but I very seriously doubt he will be able to make the routine for me. :(
I might ask around maxcoderz to see if someone would be willing to make such a program... (It couldn't be very hard...)
More on progress as I accomplish it... :)

It is like using a matrix, but you are using a string. In this case, you can allow for hidden wall tiles, that don't look any different from the other ones. :)As far as I know, Pokemon didn't have that kind of system...

Kerm says he should have the routine done in a day or so. :D
Let's see if it happens... <_<
The intro is progressing nicely though, I am leaving a space for if I decide to add custom names. Once the custom names part is complete, and I can make the pics show up, I can get the intro complete. :)
I still have a lot to add to it for the next beta though...

Maybe by some miracle this will be an easy thing to add to my current engine.
I think for one of Gary's options, I will put Bob. lol, I have such a fascination with that name (Anyone who has seen StarGate Atlantis from day 1 knows what I am talking about >D

-Also added the following to PokeModr:
--Added more things to help with people, warps, and moves
--Revamped Tile Effects stuff
--Update readme with this new info
-Need lots more tiles, and I don't know how many more I may find to add to the collection so far (250+ discovered so far, and I don't know how many more I will find)
-Redo map (RAM cleared today when running into the bug, deleting the map, but enough changed that I think it was invalid anyway)

I may be able to write a BASIC routine that can test whether a single flag in a decimal number is set or not. If you have enough flags, it will pay off for itself in memory later. Flag Check: c1-->

Ok, the code stores an 8 digit number from the get-go in to LFLAG(1, which I guess this is supposed to do?
The unset code needs a not( like the set code does, so it works.

No, it's a list so you can have more than 33 at a time.
The Unset code subtracts it only if the flag is set (S is 1). It should be like it shows.
It's optimized it as much as I could get it, so good luck trying to find any more :)
.It saves space because you have 8 flags/byte instead of 1/byte in a string. It should pay off if you have any more than about 70 or so flags, which isn't hard to hit. These routines have a one-time price for reading/editing and have much better compression. Strings have a higher storgae cost and have to use expr(sub(, which isn't exactly the sfastest routine in the world.

1)prgmZGA is in /archive but it should be in /ram (minor point)
2)This is the same thing that also happens to both of your RPG starterkit engines, you move one additional space forward on map switch. I noticed it in the tutorial and it's also here. I'm not sure if you did this on purpose, but I'll take the matrix code and show how I fixed it:

What I am working on doing is using 2 variables, and first it checks to see if a certain event has transpired, then will show the options on the screen. One variable will show the start of the words, the 2nd the end of the options. This will make the program fairly dynamic. When I actually get it implemented though, is another story... And... I have been debating whether I want to continue this project, since there is someone makin a port of this game for the 83+ in Flash. I think I will continue for now, since he might not finish his version... Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 14, 2006, 06:19:00 am

Post by: Radical Pi on February 19, 2006, 01:42:00 pm  I'm not sure how it will turn out for you, because i used an 84+SE. http://www.unitedti.org/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=553 edit: the relevance is you can use it for maps Post by: tifreak on February 19, 2006, 05:08:00 pm http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/384/38404.html It seems that the only thing yours has that ours don't is all the normal characters easily obtainable... Kerm put together the symbols, I made the neat GUI... Edit: Oh yes, I guess I should update on the project a lil... I have a pretty good idea on how to make an NPC move about the screen, though I am not 100% sure it will work. First thing is first though, finish up the small things so you guys can have a new demo... :)

Post by: MathStuf on February 20, 2006, 07:39:00 am Post by: tifreak on February 20, 2006, 07:52:00 am There will be 151 save lists, if someone were to just catch one of each. The save lists, if I were to just combine it, would be massive... I also think I know how I am going to do moves, that is fairly easy, as each move will have a corresponding number. That will make it less hectic. So far, I am thinking about taking off the SP stats, as I never really saw them work with anything in the original game anyways. I will have to have a basic stats, like hp, att, def, evasion, accuracy, and the pp of each move. The others might not make it on there... :) Stats will be in lists, I was just meaning that it would be cool for self modifying code, as you could just store the stats in a program when not in a battle... Post by: MathStuf on February 21, 2006, 03:36:00 pm Post by: tifreak on February 22, 2006, 02:17:00 am *sigh* This is gonna be so blasted complicated... :( I am just gonna get the basic list set up, so I can finish up the ingame menu, and make the continue function work. After that, maybe I will continue with the maps... Post by: MathStuf on February 24, 2006, 05:06:00 pm

(up to ~50) --------------------------------------------- I could make you a loader like this. I already do this in my map loader for zelda {and I tested that part of it out at least and it was flawless}...or you could make your own. Right now, I'm realy busy so if you wnated me to make such a thing there'd be a bit a wait before I'd get it done. Further, there are ways to even further compress data to ridiculous levels. The only thing that you will probably need is a way to store all these lists into a program and then into the flash and all. There are plenty of places to cut corners in system like this, and subsequently save yourself huge sums of memory. Further, all of these numbers are concivable maximums, not minimums...so they will likely be lower any ways (like wether you would controll a pokemon's stat growth to the thousanths place). So, don't dispare and don't say "a long string is evil" because it is actualy way more effecient of a way to do things and is a lot more managable than a ton of lists. Post by: tifreak on February 25, 2006, 02:34:00 am And I know a long string isn't evil. That is what I use for a lot of stuff in my games now... And I wasn't really dispairing, I just wasn't really sure how to procede with this problem... Post by: MathStuf on February 25, 2006, 06:06:00 am QuoteBegin-necro+Feb 25 2006, 0:01-->
--HP can't get to 1000, so you only need up to 999 for that, not 9999. --Evasion isn't a stat. --Experience needed should probably be stored as experience it has and needed should be calculated everytime it is needed (from the experience formulae). --The stats should only be 2 digits for the DV. Nothing else is needed. --Put Stat experience in there (5 digits for each of the 5 stats). QuoteBegin-necro+Feb 25 2006, 0:01
Get rid of the Growth rate you have and use 1 digit to store: 1=Slow 2=Fading 3=Normal 4=Fast And getting rid of the growth stuff and replacing with base stats would be much easier. Post by: kalan_vod on February 25, 2006, 08:42:00 am Post by: necro on February 25, 2006, 04:36:00 pm IOW: you manipulate a sting to store a var into a string (why isn't that a option in basic?) and then you can paste that string into other strings and such, and you read these string chuncks with a expr() of them. If you don't get this, xlib guru (if anyone ever offers to help work on it) will have a section all about this. here are some code examples ::To get a party's pokemon's Def number (pretend the vars I made up are going to be used {48 bytes for each pkmn}) ... "Now that party stats are in string 9, lets get the individual "pokemon's data into string 8 Sub(Str9,48*(which party pokemon-1)+1,48)->Str8 "Lets get def. stat and store it into vairiable A Sub(Str8,8 "which is 4+4+3,plus a string correction of 1",3) expr(Ans)->A ::Store 35 (from D) into a pokemon's defense ...
