This is a concept of the party selection screen. Will hopefully have it so the program can draw it fairly quickly in the next day or so...
Edit:
Something a little closer to being permanent:

Anywho, been optimizing the crap out of the game, got the new border system in place, and replacing all the line commands to simply store to 4 variables to create the borders. This will also open up a new avenue unavailable to me before, having a couple different borders available for the user to choose.
Edit:
After editing out the line commands, and changing things to variables for 7 boxes, I have shaved off 915 bytes! ^_^
I will see about testing things out again in actual game play, and add a new selectable border.

Well, spent some time last night, a whopping 15 minutes, and implemented hit detection. I merely added to the equations that was in there, and it has slowed it down quite drastically. I believe I may regain my speed by going with If Then End blocks, so I am going to try that and see. And using them, I will be able to make it so it can move from map segment to map segment anyways, so it will work out better in the end. And I also have begun to work on the complexities of making the system dynamic. This should be so much fun... :P

Total Posts: 419 | Well, I finally managed it. I have the map to map linker set up to move up and down between map segments. It should maintain total dynamicness (If that is even a word :P) and will hopefully allow me to go through, and draw out a good portion of the maps. I might even take the time to go through and do ALL the maps now, and just get that out of the way. :) But, anyways, congrats to me for finally getting that portion of the code to work. ^_^ I will be posting a screenshot sometime this evening.
Edit: Screenshot done early.

Total Posts: 419 | Actually, if you look really, really closely, that is not a 128 char string, that is a string roughly 1000 characters in length. this next one I just finished up is 1700 chars in length, before the program adds the upper and lower boundaries. The way I have it is about the only way to go for now...

Total Posts: 1111 | I was talking about the substring that you output to the home screen. Don't try to tell me that you have a line of code like Output(1,1,Str1 if Str1 has 1000 or more characters. :D
8 rows*16 columns=128 places
SS: Nah. It just looks that way because the computing's done all at once and the result's outputted at the very end of the displaying loop, meaning that there's more time at once of it looking unresponsive; The original way displayed something immediately (1st row), but was spread out over the displaying.

Total Posts: 419 | no it isnt, but to keep map sizes down, I am using an 8x10 part of the screen, instead of the whole thing. If I were to use the whole screen, that would be 3 more characters to the left and to the right that I would have to add to each map. This also increases the speed of the game by a fairly large factor, displaying only that much at a time.
And while on the subject, I finished the map in Vermilion, and now have to work on route 22, the road to victory road, so I can create the left and right linker routines.

The only one that has impressed me so far is that Pokemon Demo for the TI-83/+ with scrolling (in-fact it's graphics and scrolling were quite impressive to me).
Good luck, and I hope you do finish it rather than abandon it, as some in the past have. :) |

Total Posts: 419 | The point of this game was to use as little of asm as possible. I have so far succeeded in this by using 2 asm programs. When I am ready to initiate linking, it will require a 3rd.
For menus and battles, I will be using the graphscreen to make it look nicer. But the map is going to be ascii, since it will be smaller and much, much faster to do in pure basic.
And besides, you realize the original was 1MB in size, right?

Total Posts: 9 | I don't know what you call it, but to me by the animated screenshots given, it is not a scroller. The whole screen refreshes on every move and is strictly grid based.
Either you're at A1, A2, B1, or B2 -- instead of being able to move pixel to pixel rather than move 16 pixels for every move. My understanding from all examples but this one that I've seen of a scroller is that they are animated one way or another (top view, side view, isometric view, front view).
For example: the famous Pheonix and zMercury games for the TI-86 are scrollers.
Source: http://www.reference.com/search?r=13&q=Scroller
[quote]In computer graphics and television, scrolling or text crawling is the act of sliding a horizontal or vertical presentation of content, such as text, drawings, or images, across a screen or display window. Scrolling is often used to show large amounts of data that could not fit on the viewport all at the same time, this is commonly used in window-based computer displays. The word scroll is derived from the way in which people read scrolls of paper, by rolling up the top of the page and allowing objects lower on the page to move up. Smooth scrolling refers to a scrolling display where text appears smoothly, rather than appearing as a whole line at a time.[/quote]
However I am both wrong and right. What I really meant to suggest was "smooth scrolling," more technically. Forgive me. |

On a side note, I lost progress and had to rewrite a bunch of stuff, the only thing left to readd is the 2nd map program, which should not take terribly long, when I can finally get around to doing it.
