In the above quote, the second to last line needs to be
:2->R

That makes a whole lot more sense

No, I think the beginning of the subprogram does that for you.
Ans->R

which means if you entered
:2
:prgmROT

prgmROT stores 2 that's in Ans to R variable.

(altough I'm sure Builderboy could maybe improve that)

You are too kind, I think you did a fabulous job

I myself use the Lbl subroutine jumping thing. Although usually i will permit myself 1 subprogram if i need to.

(that's a bit in reference on how trapped gets over like 8-10 FPS while Illusiat 13, which does fewer stuff during walking and has no moving enemies or objects, had trouble even reaching 6)

Exactly.

And there is a "fun" trick with :IS>( or :DS( IIRC.

I agree.

Curious. It has the advantage of being on the same program. Recursion (calling the program itself :prgmNAME) avoids Goto's with other costs. Example:

prgmNAME
:If fpart(Ans)=fpart(/pi/)
:Then //subroutine!
:Ans-/pi/->R
:If R=4
:Then

:End

/etc.
:End
:

/main loop
:/pi/+4
:prgmNAME

/code
:

Problems: if you execute the program with a bad ans, it will throw error. To solve, put a note on readme or use other program (maybe it is preferable to just use a subprogram to routines) like:

prgmGAME
:1
:prgmNAME

EDIT: other fix:
put this code before the :If fpart(Ans)=fpart(/pi/)
Ans(1 // solves problems with lists
but I don't know what to do with strings, matrices and maybe complex values...

hmmm... may be instead of Ans, you can manually store the value in Real variable, like 1->R or something like that. and the beginning of the program can be like,

prgmMAIN

If R=1
Then
//stuff
Return
End
If R=2
Then
//stuff
Return
End

//Stuff
1->R
prgmMAIN
//stuff

Yes, that solves nicely. But there are 2 extra bytes for each call and remember R can be defined by other TI-BASIC programs or even by the user.
We can always add extra bytes using pi or e (euler constant). Like:
// While works nicely here to save bytes. If you need an explanation, ask.

While R=/pi/
//stuff
Return
End
While R=2/pi/
//stuff
Return
End

2/pi/->R
prgmMAIN
//stuff

This avoids triggering a subroutine by incident. Very rarely someone will have constant euler... pi is somewhat more common.

We are off-topic now but this was a good discussion for me and others.

* DJ Omnimaga is wondering how this is progressing

jsj795 · « **Reply #98 on:** November 23, 2009, 10:14:44 am »

I am writing out the storyline. I think I'm gonna get rid of the race part, and make the whole game in 3 parts, each with different race, and the whole story is same. it's to show the different perspective of the whole scenario in 3 races. First one probably will be human.
I am not doing a lot of coding right now.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #99 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:13:59 pm »

Aaah ok, I thought you started, I hope it won't die, noticing there was no coding in months

jsj795 · « **Reply #100 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:20:02 pm »

is it really months??? oh... I am coding from time to time, optimizing there, changing there, and modifying there...
I just implemented the saved file feature with the name, although it is kinda slow. It takes time to decode the name of the saved file (which is a single number) into string, using my encoding and decoding program that ProphetsDementia started...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #101 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:25:15 pm »

Aaah ok that's good at least. I was worried because when people stop coding for extended periods of time they seems to lose interest after a while

I was also hoping for new screenies soon

. Plus I had thoughts about moving this in the featured RPG section with Iambian's one but I was first making sure it was doing any sign of coding progress (in the past I added RPGs there, only to notice they were not even updated anymore

)

jsj795 · « **Reply #102 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:29:19 pm »

oh okay

good to know. I'll try to post screenie within few days ^^
There doesn't seem to be much progress since last screenie, but I cut like 100 bytes in optimizing

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #103 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:45:47 pm »

Aaah cool ^^

Since it has been a while, I'll have your nickname on the forums pink too, though.

j/k
