Post by: guy6020665 on August 02, 2010, 11:44:57 pm

So I got bored a few days ago and I made this to entertain myself until I could get to sleep

It doesn't really have any point yet but, I think i might be able to do something interesting with this
I would like some ideas of where I should go with this.

I should say so! How are you on coming up with storylines?

Haven't gotten that far, just made this a few days ago and haven't touched it since

Though I'm thinking maybe a nerd turns superhero just for all the calculator addicts out there (including me)

Very nice! Very minimalistic, yet it looks quite good :D

I like what you have so far. I hope it gets farther into development. I love RPGs.

Your forum signature... though... made me lose again D:

hmm... looks rather nice
the map refresh was agonizingly slow, though, so i checked the code to see what was up
instead of using separate if statements for each tile type just use a sub( (http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/sub) command

so the new mapper would look like this:

Code: [Select]

:for(A,1,8
:for(B,1,16
:Output(A,B,sub("_XS",1+([A](A,B)),1
*you can store "_XS" to a string and then just stick the string token
*here if you like. that 1+ can also be done away with if you increment
*every value in you map matrix by one, which would make it draw slightly
*faster, but might be a pain
:end
:end

that should work and increase speed considerably(although i almost always get typos when first writing a longer command like that and never know until i try running it)
i didnt check through anything else, but you should try to avoid menus as a general rule(especially in larger games)
otherwise, it looks pretty awesome. good luck on making this into something!
oh, and thanks a lot, dj, now im a loser too :'(

cheers ;D

Thanks for the info never could figure out how to work with the "sub(" command and thanks for the encouragement

Wow! Excellent job on this. It looks great! Are you planning to go any farther with this? Regardless, it's a nice little RPG. ;D Wonderful job! :D

However i have added in the use of the sub( command.

Do you mean school work when school starts or Summer school work? I hope it's the later, else it would suck if you could not find time to code the game until next June :(

Ok I figure its time to show that I actually have been working on this.
Added a menu by pressing 2nd on map.
Chucked most basic menus.
All pauses are passed with the 2nd key (I think)

Would like ideas on features/story

Very nice job on this. It's a wonderful little program. Awesome work.
Why is it recommended to RAM Clear your calc? It seems a little strange. Does it need a lot of memory?

Wonderful job! ;D

Wonderful job! ;D

The RAM clear is mainly for 83+ users because I've found that my calculator slows down ALOT after a few runs, not sure exactly why though, however if I could find an ASM program to display the map screen or if I understood how to read from matrices using Axe it wouldn't matter.

Nice so far. One suggestion I got for battles is to make the character move one step forward when attacking, same for the enemy when he attacks

I was thinking of doing that, but its not really a big issue at the moment, still in planning and testing stages. I'll work on the looks after a get all the main things, next up is probably going to be adding items or skills.

It was looking nice actually, SirCmpwn. I checked it on WabbitEmu and it reminded me a bit of Serenity, except top-down view. Since you may not be able to use WabbitEmu/8x files, I'll try to make a screenshot later, though.

I tried the link and i think you gave me the wrong characters because it gave me the first line but the rest was seemingly random characters

Hmm did you meant to post random encrypted stuff in that spoiler? It almost seems like a Cemetech SourceCoder-generated screenshot, but I'm not sure. It may be a spoiler tag glitch, though (I never tried screenshots with it)

Update! Umm.. I've forgotten some of the updates I've added since I last uploaded but I know I've added some things.

You won't run into enemies on most of the map at the moment because i havent added that in yet and i've forgotton just about anything else that I added so I am a little embarrassed. Don't expect too much for a while because i will be a bit preoccupied with school.

Thanks will try to keep working on this but don't get your hopes up, (still can't think of a decent storyline or a decent battle system)
