The player seems to be invisible when zoomed out.
Is this intentional?
Yep. if you want to see the place to start, you should press 2nd 1 time before arranging the tiles.
Made an important-but-not-visible update: I no longer have hard-coded maps!(nah, they are still in the program, but can change very fast now)

aww, you are not alone for that, leafiness0 was also about to do it. Also, I now have appvars for the levels, and im coding scanning for levels right now. Also, the levels are in archive, since they are 216 bytes/sliding tile (the 'sub-maps'). I calculated that all maps take 40K together, so that is necessary lol.

aeTIos, have you managed 4*4 maps, I guess that's a bit harder :)

I tested with 2*3, that worked. I can use any map size, since I store the levels this way in the appvars:
Code: [Select]
Data(X) ;First byte of the tilemaps
Data(XposStart,YposStart)
Data(Level width,Level height)
Data(Level offset)   ; So if its 2*2, it'll be 4 bytes, and so on :)
Hex code for all slidetiles (216 bytes each)
I might use RLE, since that'll cut the level size drastically. Should take a look at Nemo's tutorial on that :P

IMPORTANT:
Oh, to avoid confusion between sub-maps and tiles (sprites), I'll use those definitions:
-Tile: Sprite
-Sub-map: Slider

Update Update Update!
The scanning is waay too fast (Since there were only 3 programs on the emu xD)
On a real calc it'll take ~2-5 seconds, depending of how many files you have.

It just seems to be a loop of you on the homescreen.
Is this intentional?

It looks great aeTIos. A pity I can't try it. But the screenshot says a lot! :)

Good Luck.

Will there be a level editor? This is looking greater and greater, nice job aeTIos.
