"...Announcing a new BASIC game for the TI-83+ Series, Pirates!
This Action/RPG game will feature 4 classes, 13 completly
different ships, 11 upgrades, and 6 different ports. Gameplay
will include duels, swordfighing, ship-to-ship battles, the
ability to attack ports, boarding, plundering, and even stealing
ships. With GTA-style gameplay, Pirates! has unlimited replay
value. Buy the largest boat possible, and raid Port after
Port? Or pick up a small vessel, upgrade it, and terrorize the
high seas? It's your choice in Pirates!"
Pirates!
Due out October/November
Ok, this is a semi-graphical, free roaming RPG that is being
coded by myself (BCTurk[Brett Cooley]) and Xero Xcape. I'm
currently working on an alpha bulid for personal testing, but
their will be a beta version that will be avaible for testers
sometime soon.

Total Posts: 26 | It's less about the actual engine as it is prgm hopping. Right now, if you end the program any unexpected way (ON, Err, ect.), when you start it up again, you jump to a way different place then the main menu. I can't use Return b/c it's a three way jump (aka, from the main prog to another one to the port one, back to the main one.)
And, I seem to have a problem with size. There is no way I can have a 500 (or even 2000) byte movement prog, but that's less of a problem.
