the 3d dimension is really going to just be top-down, kinda like the old Zelda games/Fire Emblem/Trio and Niko/overworlds/etc.
It will be the same for the 4th dim, but you will be able to change the orientation of the level itself.

Ah...  I get it!  Because we are playing on a 2d screen in a 3d space, the 2d world is shown in points, the 3d one is shown in lines and 2d overview, and 4d is shown in 3d

Nice!  btw, this is not really an RPG since it not really overhead, right?

This part is not, but the 3rd dimension will be. The 4th will be more puzzle-based.

I'm sad, this thread appears to be dying.
I'm completely open to new ideas and such, so post 'em if you have 'em.

Anyways, the mario-style engine for the second dimension.
Here is the most recent version. It does scroll right, but not left, up, or down.

Also, could someone help me find a better way to display the incoming tiles?

(Note, there is a bug on here I fixed on-calc, the scrolling works fine, but seems very unoptimized)

Yay! More updates. Scrolling works in both directions! Working on vertical scrolling.

WOOT!
scrolling is a fun beast to handle. i like the way this looks.
are you re-drawing the entire screen every frame? one line at a time is the easiest way to optimise this type of thing, and one pixel at a time, as this seems to be, is pretty straight-forward.

oh, and dont think that nobody cares about things. this is one of the most promising ideas i've seen in some time!

Nice engine. I would have put the sprite in as soon as a part of it appears, though, it makes it more smooth.

Don't forget Horizontal + and - for shifting, very helpful for smooth scrolling.

I like it :D I also second the idea for only redrawing the part of the map that changes, and exploiting Horizontal and Vertical for quick scrolling.  If you can get it to work, the speed boost is palpable :)

Yea. Thanks for the support guys. The problem you mentioned, will, is a bug that I can't seem to fix.
Any help would be appreciated:
Code: [Select]
:If X-P/8≥10 and (P/8+11<W)
:P+1→P
:Horizontal -{^r}
:RecallPic
:88-(P^8)→C
:For(A,0,7
:Pt-On(C,A*8,{A*W+11+(P/8)+GDB1}*8+Pic110
:End
:StorePic
:End
NOTE: X=x position, W=level width(# of blocks), P=how many pixels have been shifted horizontally

So, what is the bug? an error in compiling?

at first glance, i think the problem is most likely it being 88-(P^8)->C rather than 96-(P^8)->C and {A*W+11+(P/8)+GDB1} rather than {A*W+12+(P/8)+GDB1}

I'll try that. I was doing it at the end of my English exam, and was kinda tired.
