Yeah, have no fears: Diagonal movement works great in zelda. It's just annoying that it has to use the touch sensor and not the button direction. Also, thanks for not using any of the rocker buttons: It would be impossible to save Zelda with them!

The thing is, there's nothing truly wrong with the conceptual design of BASIC, or even most BASIC langs. Just TI-Basic really, really sucks. Look at BBC Basic for the 83+ by benryyves if you don't believe me: It runs faster than Celtic III, and nearly as fast as axe for most operations. It also has sprite support, oh and dithering.

You have to learn about pointers and such. Otherwise, new syntax for more complex commands is fairly straightforward.
I chose reflex since those types of games are better at teaching syntax in less code, whereas the others have a lot of data you have to trawl through to get started for testing a program.

Ok, so I've got the talking done now, 8 frames. Feel free to trim it to what you need.

@Finale Have no fear, wine runs usenti almost flawlessly. There's a little jagging with rectangular select, but if you're just reguantizing the palette it should work perfectly. it only takes pngs though, so you can use GIMP to convert it.

Both are accepted, and I prefer trinary since it tends to be understood more quickly to the non-techie. (Since Tri is more quickly interpreted to 3 than Ter-, being more common) Ironic wikipedia quote on the matter: It prefers ternary, yet Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit (trinary digit) The accepted bit for trinary is named after my preference. Bwuahahahahaha Besides, I use Quaternary much more often anyhow. But then there's still the recognition problem.

Yeah, that image would be dependent on the method the game checks input with, not the emu. Envision it checking Up, then down, then left, then right, and returning upon the first match, without checking the rest. That would mean Up-Left would be Up, and Down-Right would be Down, etc. The best way to get rid of the direction issue is to use the old version which used the numbers for arrows. Did I mention I really don't like the touch keypad at all? I feel like changing the OS with a patcher so I could use my old clickpad, but unfortunately the easiest way would actually be to solder a wire inside of it to ground instead (I might have that backwards, meaning it might need to be soldered to VCC. So sue me)

Well, it makes sense to me why it would crash on touchpad access attempts: Those same pins would be set up differently on a clickpad from the OS's init, and trying to write to an input pin is a bad idea, same with reading from output. Not to mention the key layout would differ.

you shouldn't be using touch.
You should be using the normal version. You have a clickpad. It's probably crashing while trying to interface with the touchpad.

sounds like fun, but I doubt the host computer will allow you to install software with sufficient priveleges to host the image. And the port's probably blocked for outgoing.
Other than that, it should work!

I would bet that all your school computers are set to do it by default. It makes clean wipes every year infinitely easier to do, since you don't have to actually get to each computer. Just power-cycle a lab with PXE boot on, and it'll auto install XP/7 (my school skipped Vista, hallelujah!) without any promptings (a feature of Windows Server, I believe)

But at least you live by a decent body of water! I live in a desert! We actually (may blow your mind, but not buttfredskins ) have rights to the amount of water we can use from the irrigation systems (not paid water, it's charged by the amount), and it's illegal to catch water in rainbarrels.

The problem with C is it's hard to get them to dedicate time at home to it. Axe has the advantage there.

hehe yeah, they're always more drawn by the games than the math help. Although, I have had one convert who made an (albeit short) choose your own adventure thing with chuck norris
