Yeah, and you'd have to add more arguments to the sprite command to tell it where the mask is stored, it just isn't worth it.

Not really, once you grasp the concept of masking in the first place it's easy enough.

you can't use interrupts in BASIC, for some reason it does an "IM 1" at some place. But you could instead pretend the parser hook is an "interrupt", it does interrupt the parsing after all, and on a somewhat regular basis. Swapping buffers every time the parser hook is called wo...

Yeah I remember messing around with big-pic smoothscrolling, it comes out looking purty cool

Yeah, that's not really what I meant.

I've found an artist to help, and I have some other people who are tentative. At the moment, I am considering: 83+, z80 app PC, Gamemaker PC, Dark Basic And possibly, but not likely, C++ or Python with OpenGL 3d. To be honest, I'd prefer PC, because I feel this game has grown beyond the bounds of th...

I think there was an extremely limited demo, nothing more than a character walking across a small overworld. That was about it.

Actually, I'm not sure I could do all the art for an 83+ version either, not and have the amount of variety I want.

I am as well, Pat, but I was under the impression your free time had gone out the window. Weren't you getting married or something?

If you still wanted to do an 83+ app version I'm up for that, and I could handle all the art for that myself.

Hitoshi showed up a year or so ago briefly (though due to his using very different mannerisms and modes of speech than he normally did, some doubted it was really him) with a new screenshot, then disappeared again. I think we can reasonably conclude FFTOM3 is dead.

I have no intention of giving up. cryzrbl: I'll try hge. Gamemaker is powerful enough for my needs though, actually.

Those monster animation sprites look really great!

I've lately come to the realization that Aura is simply far too large a project for a single person, what with all the coding, map design, and art that needs doing. The art alone would probably need more than one person, or at least one very very talented person with a lot of free time. My skill at ...

If your character sprite only moves over blank spaces, you can use either XOR or OR (you'll get the same result in that situation) to draw him, then XOR to erase him. If not, and you're using masking, you'll want to use AND logic to draw the mask, then OR or XOR (again they'll do the same thing here...

I could likely come up with something. If you like, I could probably throw in a 2-frame walking animation.
