Nah, it's just a LCD-style drop shadow I Gimped in for the game manual. All 16x16 portraits will be monochrome. But in the text scripts will include a flag to control whether the character is grinning or not. The flag will "grindicate" whether to draw a smile or not and basically work like...

June '09 As you may have heard, the TI-83+ version recently got working tilemaps, which was basically the last major hurdle for the CrASH_man graphics engines. This month, the TI-82 and TI-83+ codes are being consolidated into a small set of master files. That's going to make things unstable for a ...

I guess it's time to get brainstorming then!

Forgot to sign the check for something?

The next thing (after the tilemaps are ported) is to work on character dialogs and events. RW2 will try to do a little more character development and introduce Edgar early on as an adventure-seeking "skater" type. (Kind of a nod to Sonic the Hedgehog). All the original ally characters from...

Thanks! Overall, progress is picking back up. Hopefully, this file select part will be done soon so I can get back to the fun in-game stuff. Some copy/paste and delete operations... http://bmayes.unitedti.org/CalcImages/copying.gif Next week, storyboarding for the fictional Oceanside city continues.

This game looks astonishingly close-to-finished already. How'd you make the titlescreen by the way?

Yeah. I normally alternate between 3 and 5 mile runs with my heart rate leveling off near 176. Part of the challenge is I have one of those jobs where you just sit on your butt most of the day. Other than our lunchtime walks, which are maybe 1 1/2 mile, it's a long day of laziness to undo. Luckily, ...

Heh heh. I always knew the Res would rise again! About how far along is it?

And I lost some weight, what the hell? I'll trade you mine. So far, I gained 2 pounds since New Years '09. Actually, 1kg sounds nicer. Still exercising the usual 6 to 7 days a week. It's gotta be the late-night carbs. Those little hell raisers will get you every time. If you want 2 extra pounds, do...

For free or...just in general? "Maxim"coderz could draw a lot of visitors.

Here's the completed list of File Select features... http://bmayes.unitedti.org/CalcImages/filesel5.gif Unlike other versions, the 83+ edition has a build-in option for deleting games (no more going back to the Mem menus). Also new: Custom names - "Joe" in this case Copy/Paste - Game dupli...

Yep. Luckily, I'm sorting the last of my mail and the apartment's pretty well broken-in, so I'll be putting in the long programming session this week. I'm also cutting level 5 out of the TI-82 version, which will keep that version's size reasonable and let me develop the 83+ level a lot faster. As y...
