Oh ok. About that, a few days ago I discovered from someone that Virtual Dub let me store gif files. I didn't know because I used an old version that didn't x.x

Here's a mockup of part of the cutscene I plan to test this week.  This is inside a planetary HQ on the planet Synor, one of the planets where Tosonians are required to take a mortal form in order to survive.

Wow that looks amazing, are you sure this is on the crappy 63x94 TI 83/84+SE series screen?

Absolutely :)  Besides, in ASM, you can use row 64 ;D

It's very possible, even in BASIC.

Nice Hot Dog!

Here's the first test cutscene.  Remember that more features will be available in the future.

looks pretty nice ^^

I would make the knocking animation a bit faster, though

Well, it's only a test, so I'm not going to worry about the knocking for right now.

I forgot that I wanted you guys to see that this cutscene contains only data.  S.A.D. has some code that reads this data, letting the calculator know what to do.  Below is the data for those of you who are interested.  Right now, the engine only supports talking characters, putting an overwritten sprite on the screen, and pausing.  Eventually, campaign data will be compressed.

definitely a huge space-saver.
this thing just keeps getting more and more epic

Darn that's a lot of data. Definitively a huge space-saver and makes executable code MUCH smaller. Nice job :)

Yup bumping again. This is epicness at its most epic. Ok weak punchline there but this is very, very cool. I think this is more of a cinematic then a cutscene though. Anyways. Maybe you could have like this library with all the required sprites in one package so you dont have to rebuild the sprite again and again??

I thinK compression is of later concern, how many pages does sad use by know? Also i assume sadce eventually needs to be able to produce this?

I don't know, I thought it was a sweet punchline! :P  Yeah, I agree that I'm certainly not Blizzard or Bungie or anything ;D

Yeah, sprites will be in one package.  This still has a lot of features to be added.
SAD will use at least 4 pages, 6-7 for more features
Yes, SADCE will need to produce this

Ok cool. So i assume a sprite editor would be nice to have in sadce (maybe some sort of simple animator software?).

I dont VB will suffice anymore for this so I'll try to learn c# (i know some already plus, the community is better at c#). Ever heard of xna? I think it has some neat features we could use for sadce, plus i own a 700+ page book about it so yea...

Shall i start with a sprite editor class already then? I have exams in a few months so i will have less and less time to work on this. The more i can do in "advance" the better.
