Well, I thought I would present you all with an updated screenie, of everything slowly coming together. I got the new walking engine uploaded to the project calc, and getting things tied in. Next few things to do:
1. convert all the menu boxes to the new dynamic system (didn't I already do this?! )
2. pray that Iambian can come up with a way for his list to string converter to read decimal values in the list elements, otherwise, a rewrite/rethink of the interior maps is in order
3. optimize
4. more optimizing
:P
After that, I will spend lots of time getting some maps done, probably through pewter. At least the exterior. The problem is going to arise from the fact that for the interiors, I need to play as I build. So for the rest of the interiors, I am going to have to set this up so you can battle and catch pokemon. So the next release is going to be really fun. ^_^

for a BASIC game, i made things like that on a matrix
people were 3.etc and objects were 2.etc
anything below one you couldnt walk through
annnd when i press 2nd i made it scan up and down then left and right for an object. then the decimals made the specific script possible
^^
a new movement engine?
like what do you mean you just have to rewrite push button then react?
thats prolly hard on asm.
its too... low level for me.
if there were C++ compilers and code for TI 84's id jump on that.

Total Posts: 612 | Ok I must admit that you're game will look much better than mine. But my version will be an exact copy of the game including the entire story line. Yes and i know that I already posted this question on another topic but. Is there any way to have more than ten strings on the calculator. Perhaps an ASM program could do it. I need 12 for my game to work but for it to run exactly how i want it to, I'd need about 14. And just so you know tifreak8x the actual game. When you do the battle engine make sure that you drop all decimals. Don't round. Otherwise it won't be that true of an actual game. Yours cool graphics, pretty user interface. Awesome code. Mine ASCII graphics, very limited GUI, noob code. I mean I've been programming on the calculator going on 1.3 years now and i still think that I'm uber noobish when it comes to my code. I can still remember what it was like when I first learned how to move an object in 4 directions. That was the exact code used in the Demo Alpha Version. I created all of that after I believe 2 days after finally done with 4 direction mastery. I did go back in it though and maximize code every where i could. Beta Version will also support soft reset, and 'B' button.
Oh yeah how did you do that map. ASM maybe. It looks awesome. I wish my maps could look like that. My Beta Version like i said will include maps up to Mt. Moon. Completed maps not as cool as yours but i think that they would be cool.
Oh yeah and even though the is an all out contest for the first one with a completed version. For all of the % of the battles i would suggest that if you still have the Pokemon Trainer's guide that was published by Sandwich Island for all of that. It's helped me a lot so far.

Total Posts: 419 | hydralisk: matrices would be far to large to do anything like that. This is all strings. And the problem with the movement engine is not the movement, that works just fine. The problem arises from border detection. Once that works, and I finalize the replace chars in a string part, which I think I might have a value off somewhere, then it should work.
1337: yeah, answered your question on the string issue. Also, if you hadn't noticed, the maps are ascii graphics. Makes if faster that way to do this in almost pure BASIC. The game uses 3 asm programs as of now, Resource, a program to copy programs in to RAM as a temp program; CelticII, a program that allows a user to write into an unarchived program from another basic program; and ZLIST, a component to Celtic, that changes a list into a string.
Oh, and did I mention this game is 96% BASIC thus far? So far, the 3 asm programs take up 1,647 bytes of RAM. I am not using anything like xlib, I am just trying to do this with as little asm help as neccessary.
Also, I am curious on this part: "But mine will be an exact copy of the original story line" I hope you are not implying that mine will be any less of an exact replica of the game, minus map graphics?

Total Posts: 612 | So you guys are saying that i should just remove that feature from the game. Because I'm in desperate need of Strings also. Wow I thought people wanted an exact copy save all of the pretty graphics that he's doing but I guess that I've guessed what people want. Oh well. So basically you're saying that you don't care if there's every move in the original game, all of the probabilities of seeing a certain Pokemon are correct, that the battle engine does exactly what the original one did, that the game has every single letter of the original dialogue exactly the same save this time it's all caps, that all of the NPCs react in the exact same way as they did in the game, that the prof. talks to you in the exact same manner, that all of the free items are given to you in the exact same manner, all moves are used exactly like in the game, that all of pokemon in the game learn their moves like the real game. In summary the game is exactly like the original game save all of the pretty graphics.

Total Posts: 419 | Mine will be close. So far, I am not having the name selection part. I think I goofed with one of the maps, and forgot a couple rows of the sprites, but honestly, it added nothing to the game, and takes nothing away from it. So, I don't think I will bother going in and fixing that small error.
Also:
Two things to note:
I already know about the border not completely clearing for the option box in the in game menu, didnt remember it until the screenshot was made.
I noticed that Ash's mom looks wierd... I think I missed the hands, because of the way the sprite is on the chair when you talk to her... I will have this fixed later.
Things added:
NPC interactions (obviously)
Made it so the character shows change of direction, without actually having to move.
Fixed some of the borders to the new border system.
Now that this is done, time to work on that mapmaker, and get it to work, hopefully. I *have* to have it to get anywhere else in this game at this point.

I am curious as to why you would freaking persist to say my game is ASM when it is just BASIC. Advanced BASIC, mind you, but BASIC none the less. If I was doing this in ASM, would I not just go ahead and add the graphics? :/
And no, I had no trouble whatsoever with the ROM8x. I simply was able to follow the README file step by step, and got the ROM I wanted on the first try.

Total Posts: 7 | wow, 1337h4kor, you really need to stfu. just because he uses 3 ASM utilities doesn't mean it is 'asm featuring basic' it means that it is basic utilizing some ASM programs. Also, what is the point of critisizing a program that rivals yours? From what I can see, you need to spend more time making your program able to beat his than just saying crap like this, "YOUR GAME IS PRIMARLY ASM. HAHAHAHA NONE OF IT'S BASIC EXCEPT MAYBE THE TEXT OUTPUTS. MINE IS TRUE TI BASIC. YOURS IS ASM FEATURING BASIC. WHO CARES IF IT'S IN A BASIC MATRIX THE CODE THAT RUNS IT IS COMPLETELY ASM." Also, have a full version out by Oct. 31? haha. I seriously doubt that, though you may be able to prove me wrong. You are also saying that his game is a year old, how is this bad? This just means that he doesn't have as much time to dedicate to it as you seem to have, because he has a life and such... All that means is that his is going to have less bugs, be more pleasing to the eye, and probabally get finished!

But still 3 ASM utilities is still more than mine and also what ever. I believe that the only reason that he even revived this program was because he thought that I might actually beat him to the very first complete port. His may look better but mine only takes 1 second to completely save that's probably because though my game is very simple.

and the use of his ASM utility are justified because in BASIC you cant use the archive/unarchive prgmXXXXXXX command inside a program, so he need an ASM program to do it
EDIT: allynfolksjr it must be why it sucks so much then :P j/k (but it really does, I wish we had text compression and faster speed)

Ok... so mine takes just a hair longer, but you will "beat me to the punch"? LOL
3 asm utilities. Ok, let's break this down for you, since you have no idea what is going on.
Resource: This program copies programs in Archive to RAM as a temp, takes 502 bytes.
Celtic2: 813 bytes, this program allows me to write to basic programs and app vars.
ZLIST: 332 bytes, this program converts lists to strings.
I only use the minimal amount of asm programs to get what I need done. You on the other hand, have a program that is roughly 16,384 bytes.
So, let's add them all up... tifreak8x uses 1,647 bytes of asm. 1337h4ker uses 16,384 bytes of asm.
So, that RIGHT THERE proves you have lost in that realm. Severely.
And I never 'revived' this program, it has been continously worked on for the last year and a half or so. I just didn't post updates here as often as I do at Unitedti or Omnimaga. And how is yours going to be more complete than mine? I will have GRAPHICS for battles, and NPC interactions. My intro is SEVERELY better than yours. Does your game add changeable borders? No? I didn't think so!
You know why mine takes so long to save? because it is saving all the data that is there, all the pokemon stats, the events list, everything, to a program, then rearchiving it, so in the event of a RAM clear, it will be safe. The only thing it does not deal with is what is already in the PC box.
So, what I suggest, go read the owners manual to your calculator. Read it 5 times. Then go read any and every tutorial you can find for the 83+ line. Read them 5 more times. Then spend some time actually planning out the game, instead of just throwing things together. From there, you MIGHT just catch up to me... <.<

If I could find one that'd actually work I might be able to save it then maybe yay. so I figured that I was making right decision by what I did. And yes I'll make sure that my game is completed before yours. Even if that means not sleeping what so ever. Also I'll sacrifice school time. I've already read the manual 12 times. I've already read every tutorial that I could find save the Sprite No Lib that I just read today. I realize that you're a better programmer but if we compare raw skill. Then I believe that my game is awesome for someone who's only been programming for about 1.3 years in TI BASIC. I shall be the first to release the first port for the TI 83/84 families, that has everything from the original game save the crazy cool graphics. *Screams I'm a N008 in TI BASIC*
*Grabs Calc* *Throws at wall.*
*Is glad that it's insured.*
*Rembers that it was just a TI-108.*
*Cries over extreme N008dum that I'm in.*
*Wonders about becoming emo*
The one thing that you all have to say is that I'm the very first person with my amount of knowledge who even attempted this large of a project.

Plus I back up like every week to make sure that not to much is lost. After a program is completed, I put on my computer's C drive, put on a CD-RW, put on My travel drive.

Didnt get tons of time to work on pokemon like I would have, but, I did manage to get Gary's house programmed in, and using an emulator with pokemon blue, got the text of his sister, though I think I missed one... I will have to check it out and see to make sure.
Edit: Made sure there was nothing else she could say, and added in all the texts relative to the events that may happen (basically, before pokedex, before town map, and after town map). Next is to add in the interior of the Oak's lab, and add in the text to the NPCs there. I will also probably include Prof Oak there, but add to it that he seems to be busy, and cannot talk. Which of course will change when you go into the grass for the first time... :)

Total Posts: 419 | why waste 16k of much needed archive when I can do the things I want without it? Whole goal of this project: Use minimal asm. Basically (ba dum, ching!), only as I need it. :P
And those that stick their noses up at this will be missing out on this game. I mean, come on, even Spencer has said good things about my progress on pokemon, and that is high praise from someone building zelda... o.o
Edit by L: Sorry, the temptation was too great to resist ;) !
Edit2: lol, you are an evil person. :P

Total Posts: 419 | Well, I had a brilliant idea! As I go along, I will be playing 3 other versions at the exact same time. :D and, in the end, I will be building... 8 versions all together... o.o
Languages so far:
English, German, Spanish, and French. On top of those, there will be special 84+ versions, utilizing the timer functions. :)
So, onto programming! :) (English and French versions will be released near the same time, with German and Spanish being released at a much later date.)

Total Posts: 419 | No, but I will be able to more easily work on the french one side by side with this project. I have a French ROM for pokemon blue, so I can play both at once, get the NPC and Sign text, and put them in at the same time. ~95% of the text is in seperate programs anyways, so battle routines and other such things can be added without worry about afflicting the text.

Total Posts: 419 | Well, I have all 151 pokemon names in French on the calculator. I am working on all the attack names (165 of them) and have roughly 90 completed. Once that is on the calculator, I can go back to work on Oak's lab, and then the battle system. :)

Total Posts: 419 | Slight bit of an update. I managed to get the attack names in French programmed into the calculator, and it actually turned out to be an optimization! :P
English names in program: 2161 bytes
French names in program: 1996 bytes
kind of impressive. :)
Now on to Oak's lab.

Total Posts: 419 | A lil bit of an update:
Oak's lab is now completed, with NPCs and their associated text.
I have managed to get it so you can examine bookcases (although every single one says the same thing in the game)
Next I need to see about setting some more of the characters as "un-walkable", and then see about workin on being able to check the rest of the stuff that is in Pallet town.
Once that is complete (maybe an hour or two worth of work) I have to see about setting up an event system. I have decided to move the code that examines things to another program, to shrink the primary program back down, and see about optimizing a bit, to make it as small as possible, because it will have to also detect certain events that happen.

"Those characters are easily available, as I wrote the GUI to the list of those characters that KermMartian went and gathered."
as well but in a very painful way of having to pull them from a string to use them which makes my head hurt sometimes - is there a way to pull them straight from some menu while u are programing as u hint at with "GUI" ?
