oh, it doesn't support more than one page apps?

That REALLY SUCKS

I'll have to find a way to see If I can read code from archived appvars -- though I really doubt it.

Fortuneately, I still have ASM knowledge.  Maybe I'll have to change it from Axe to ASM.  That brings my progress down to 5% again, but Oh well as long as I can make it a good game

Though I haven't done ASM apps before; I don't know much about writing pages and flipping them and headers and crap.  Do you know where I could look for tutorials?

EDIT: Yeah, my mind is made up; once I read an APP tutorial, It's going to be ASM

Good luck with that. I wouldn't recommend messing around with the Archives [in ASM] too much though. If you **** up the right piece of data in there, you're likely to brick your calculator. Personally, I think Axe/ASM hybrids are the best. They allow you to use the easy to code routines from Axe with almost all of the efficiency and speed of ASM.

ooh i love strategy games. especially ones where you can rule an empire.
nice sprites!








ps:anyone play civilization v here?
pps: dont post civilization v stuff  here post it in this topic: http://tinyurl.com/2dfvorp#msg74427

The trick is to make sure the enemy data, magic animations (sprites and pattern), NPC movement patterns, text, battle commands animations and all that stuff are stored as data, not hard-coded. In that case you can maybe manage to fit the game in 16 KB. Another alternative is to split your game in multiple Axe programs and use a BASIC launcher with an ASM lib called XCOPY by Iambian (used in Illusiat 13) to launch those sub-programs from archive. In the later case you get lots of sub-programs, though, and it's no longer pure-Axe or ASM, but you can circumvent any executable code limit (one of the advantage of TI-BASIC I guess, lol ).

Cool, I hope something works out for your game. Of course in the case you would stick to on-calc languages, please backup often, in case you do something wrong and cause a mem clear

No problem, and with the recent discussion on IRC, I assume you made your mind about how the game will be made, right? (hybrid, ASM, Axe)

Ok!  Here's all the confirmed sprites for the 4 races in the game.  Later I might add another "race"-- though it'll probably be a modification of humans or something -- cave humans might be a possiblity.  Well, in respective order and row:

Humans: Soldier, Archer, Wizard
Skylanders: Sargeant, Assasin, Necromancer
Elves/dwarves: Brute, Sniper, Bishop
Orks/imps: Orkillary, Dramonork, Sorceror

That looks nice so far

Will they have 4 facing directions soon?
