Well, I havent posted either for the same reasons, I am waiting for the game to be released.

Ok, so, you want to know if the current selected object should replace an object it's over if you want it to, that way you don't have to press the delte button? Yeah.

Dragonwarrior333 · Post by **Dragonwarrior333** » Tue 05 Apr, 2005 12:17 am

Exactly!!!

So what do you think about it do you want to have to delete every time or just have it overwright it

merthsoft · Post by **merthsoft** » Tue 05 Apr, 2005 12:18 am

Just overwrite it.

I am optimizing now and going to use the intro
Ok now I need a quick poll

:

The size of the map should be:
1) 8 X 12

2) 16 X 12

3) 16 X 24

4) 24 X 24

*** Keep in mind the bigger it is, the more memory it takes up! ***

Please post your opinion asap because I will need to make adjustments!!!

DJ_O · Post by **DJ_O** » Thu 07 Apr, 2005 7:05 pm

The map should be... let me think... 256x256!!!

just kidding.

16x24 would be cool if you have a lot of free memory. I didn't chosen 24x24 because houses are mostly rectangular, not squares. Also 16x24 (or 24x16) would be better for making a grayscale view mode if you add one. If you want to be able to run archived programs directly from archive (without garbage collecting) I suggest you use this program:
Flash Gordon

Maybe an option, so the person designing it could choose the dimensions.

Dragonwarrior333 · Post by **Dragonwarrior333** » Thu 07 Apr, 2005 8:54 pm

Im probably not going to put the option because i would have to adapt my code from there and it will take up more memory and time ( Right now im optimizing so im trying to make it as small and as fast as possible!

)

About the Flash Gordan, Im not shure if Im going to use it ( Im trying to keep the ammount of programs low also)

But Im probably going to use 16 X 24 because it can scroll 2 screens (In the grayscale viewer) in both directions.

If you guys dont like this idea please tell me fast because im going to put in the code tomorrow with 16 X 24!!!

merthsoft · Post by **merthsoft** » Thu 07 Apr, 2005 8:56 pm

If you can't do option, than 16x24 is the best idea.

Dragonwarrior333 · Post by **Dragonwarrior333** » Thu 07 Apr, 2005 10:17 pm

Hmmm I think I will go with the 16 X 24

Oh yeha is my avatar too big

EDIT: 16 X 24 map size is final

?
I think the second one might be better since each screen are 12x8, not 8x12

Dragonwarrior333 wrote:Oh yeha is my avatar too big

Yup

The max size is 80x80 I think, altough I like 96x64 avatar size (for calc screenshots), but this one doesnt diturb the forum layout so I dont think this might be a problem.

Dragonwarrior333 · Post by **Dragonwarrior333** » Fri 08 Apr, 2005 7:27 pm

Ok well if its ok ill keep my avatar

But what I ment was the second one where its 24 on the top and six down

Oh here is a new animated screen shot of the intro (I have more sprites on the picture but I sent the wrong one

to the debugger, oh well)

I hope you guys like it because Im probably giong to use it unless you have other suggestions.
Its much faster than the other because I used line( insted of Pxl-On(

DJ_O · Post by **DJ_O** » Fri 08 Apr, 2005 8:15 pm

Look pretty sweet! However I noticed that on the sprite selection screen the black selection square seems to load pixel by pixels. I would suggest to use a 8x8 black square with the Omnicalc sprite command to do it so it might run faster

Post by **DarkAuron** » Fri 08 Apr, 2005 8:20 pm

Line( is bliss in TI-BASIC

Dragonwarrior333 · Post by **Dragonwarrior333** » Sat 09 Apr, 2005 12:47 pm

@Kevin: Hmm what do mean by using the omnicalc sprite command, for what? I no its slow because it uses Pxl-Change( to invert the sprites. Maybe I could load more than one pxl at a time so it would go faster

but tell me what you mean because I dont understand it

@DarkAuron: I no lines are the way to go

How are you donig on your games I havent heard much about them in awhile

PS: Is the grey smilies really to promote greyscale? Because I liked the other ones a little better but if it promotes greyscale then Im in!!!
