I have a question, what is the x256 mode and can someone give me an example?

I have no idea of how to use it and would like to learn, can I have a sample? Thanks
256 mode?? Whoa.

Its not a mode, but more like a style of programming that gives you more precision.  The idea is that you multiply your position variables by 256 to give you a screen that is 256 times as big (and consequently has a *lot* more possible positions and a lot more precision) and then when you display your sprites you "zoom" back out by dividing by 256.

This has been written about a lot, I'm sure there has got to be a tutorial about this somewhere, or at least a more in depth explanation.

The multiply by 256 thing has another name too that I'm sure you've seen: 8.8 Fixed Point. :)  Good luck!

Is there a way to use the ON key?

Yes.
getKey(41) will do it. :)
By the way, here's a nifty link: http://julosoft.net/ti/getkey.php

getkey(41) is the keycode, but it doesn't register.
Nvm, I've eaten my words.

Maybe I can fix my engine's "/\" jump. Not before I get a freaking tilemap routine.

Yes. I saw the tutorial, but it's hard to implement in a platformer game.

Okay, so I saw this screenie, and I would like to know how Builderboy makes the box hanging at the rope.
Anyone knowing this?

He can't share any source code until the contest is over; that is his entry

You could look at his Chainfire library, and see if he has similar code.

I have a question, I just made my first program to try and learn acceleration and more about physics.

here's my problem though:

Code: [Select]
0→Y
5→X
Repeat getKey(15)
  ClrDraw

  Line(0,63,95,63)
  Pxl-On(X,Y/256)

  If (pxl-Test(X,Y+1)=0)
    Y+128→Y
  End

  DispGraph
End

That's a little tiny dot but it doesn't move down as it was supposed to (due to gravity).

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

pxl-Test(X,Y+1) should be pxl-Test(X,Y/256+1)

Also you can save a lot of memory by doing !If pxl-Test(X,Y/256+1) instead of If (pxl-Test(X,Y/256+1)=0).
