you would use the collision detection from before, so T would contain the collision.

EDIT: Added the rest of it, hope you like it!

Thanks! Well it's pretty much done now, I just need a few routines and then I might write a little more. Also, i'm so glad I am an admin so I can do that with [html] tags, or else it would have never looked the way it does :p I might package a help file if I ever make enough tutorials.
If anybody wants a tutorial on something, suggest it and I might make it.

Hey that looks really nice!  I can whip up some map maker code, but without Decimal numbers data manipulation it might look kind of convoluted/hard to read?  What were you thinking?

Thanks!
Well I was kind of thinking just a basic, read from L1 the map data using your data compression method. You can write up a tutorial on how to use it and I'll put it in there. I guess it would be best to put the easiest to understand one in there.

how many tiles at once in a map can be used by this compression method?

Up to 16 with my current compression method, but you could double it without much loss of compression.  I'll get working on the tutorial real quick like

Doesn't sound too bad, altough my maps would need to not be too complex (at least, not as complex as Reuben Quest forests x.x)

You should maybe post a tutorial and have Eeems edit the HTML for it

Yeah just post the tutorial and I'll edit it to use the HTML and add it to the first post.

I had thoughts about enabling HTML for staff before but that might mean more risks of accidentally messing up, noticing a post located in the Trash Bin subforum earlier (that I removed) x.x, staff would need to make sure to only use hTML when absolutely needed, like tutorials, and test their stuff first, in case

Yeah, I did all my development with komposer and tested it with firefox first. Actually, my system is pretty good for using in any tutorial, you can just change the images/colors to suite your needs. All it uses is a little CSS to define all the <div>'s that I use to seperate the content.

also I noticed:


0->Z
0->V
0->S
0->T
For(A,0,7
Z+(8-A*(pxl-test(X-1+A,Y)))->Z
V+(8-A*(pxl-test(X+8+A,Y)))->Z
S+(8-A*(pxl-test(X,Y-1+A)))->S
T+(8-A*(pxl-test(X,Y+8+A)))->T
End


should one of those lines store to V instead?

(also I couldn't put the code in code brackets because it wouldn't show the bold correctly)
