I played it, it's pretty fun.

I noticed that when you walk through bushes, you are still slowed down for a few seconds even after you leave.

I'm posting more pictures, now of the four main characters. I realize that I should have posted more of the basics before I posted more advanced stuff, like the civilization ideas. These are the main characters:
- Gil (Gilorand): The hero, and main Player Character. He started out on the surface, but was taken to Other Side in a freak accident. He is a long lost descendant of an Atlantean King. He is also a Summoner.
- Alena: The girl Gil goes with on his journey of Other Side, daughter of the Atlantean Head Councilman. She has connections with the Ancients that created the Earth, and is learning the techniques of World Forging (creating and modifying worlds) and Summoning. However, you only know that she is a Summoner at the beginning.
- Josef: A wise sheepherder, and the guide of the party. He is the one who finds Gil after he lands in Other Side. He has no magical powers, instead prefering to use his shepherd's cane to fend off beasties.
- The Dragonbat: The first beastie that Gil summons. Unlike other beasties, Dragonbats will only obey those with royal blood - everyone else who summons a Dragonbat gets creamed. . Like other beasties, the Dragonbat has both a True Form (the Dragon) and a Harmless Form (the Bat). In the game, you can name the Dragonbat (and anything else you summon) whatever you want.

I second (or fifth, or whatever) the extra passes. Anything to increase program efficiency. Anyway, in Axe's current form, the second pass is faster than the first.

I know that most of the Axe routines are incompatible with the shell routines, but some of them are not. Because DispGraph is simply Ion's FastCopy, then DispGraph should simple be a CALL iFastCopy when compiling for a shell. I don't know how useful this would be for other commands, however.

You might also want to add another variable indicating which team (player or enemy) shot it. That way, when the bullet is shot, it doesn't affect the player who shot it. Either that, or you could use a time variable indicating how much time the bullet has existed (fresh bullets don't do damage, bullets that have existed too long are destroyed).

In English, it's called "mode". I also have no idea how to code it, either. However, there are a few functions that might help:

dim(L1) (found in [2nd] (list), in the second submenu) returns the number of elements in the list. You can also store to this function to set the number of elements in a list.
L1(n) gets the nth element of the list, with 1 being the first element.

We should probably talk in some type of cipher so that TI doesn't get any ideas. Maybe we could discuss the cipher in the Spam section.

I believe that there is a bug with the COM object. When I tried to reference it in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, it did not show up in the list of registered COM objects (although TI's own link communication devices did). How are you registering the COM object on setup?

BTW, I was wondering about this so that I could add joystick compatiblility via Microsoft DirectInput (which would be a really cool feature besides ).

This is really great, Hot_Dog! I like how someone has finally set out to fix this.

However, when I tried it on my 83 Plus (OS 1.19), on Eitrix (9100 bytes with Crabcake, 8700 bytes without), the game crashed immediately when it started running, as if it had broken the fourth wall already. Could you please look into this?
