No matter how many errors are bothering you, always try to stay rel-Axe!

Heh, yeah the pixel drawing routine is kinda convoluted because of the 8 pixels per byte thing, and the need to do bitmasking and stuff.  I'll get the code commented later today.

BTW: instead of Typing
Code: [Select]
0->X
0->K
etc...
you can just type
Code: [Select]
0->X->K->etc...

Yep, thats true, i didn't do any optimizing at all in this routine :P I'm really no good at it yet.

(I suggest providing both optimized and non optimized version when providing routines, btw, for now. It might actually help people even more about learning the syntax and stuff, to see more examples)

.NOM
StoreGDB
StorePic
ClrDraw
<draw shit in here>             <-example: Line(0,34,95,34)
Repeat Getkey(15)
DispGraphr
End

The screen content right before running this prog will be copied to the back buffer then displayed in grayscale as background behind some other stuff you can draw right before the repeat loop. It will exit when you press CLEAR.

Just some graphical fanciness :P

Why does it make the Asm(prgmNOM and the run indicator go into grey scale but no the line?

Cool piece of code by the way :)

hmm, if I had to guess, it is because when you draw stuff it isn't actually sent to the screen.  IE it didn't have a normal DispGraph after you drew it.  that's just my guess though.

Edit:
hmm...I was able to get it to do text and the line and greyscale, but not at the same time...

anyways here was my code for the text:
ClrDraw
<output text here>
StoreGDB
StorePic
ClrDraw
repeat getkey(15)
DispGraph(r)
End

and one for the line:
ClrDraw
StoreGDB
<lines and whatnot here>
StorePic
ClrDraw
repeat getkey(15)
DispGraph(r)
End

OH! Nevermind. I see why. It's because the line isn't already there when you store to the buffer and back-buffer. It's getting displayed after. (Had to look up a couple commands :P)

P.S. The smiley face that is used for examples in the Axe Parser Documentation looks funny when used with the grey scale command :P

everything that was in the screen right before running the prog turns into grayscale. What's drawn after the screen content is stored to back buffer remains black, though.

the grayscale command can be useful, for example, in a RPG where you see the map, and when entering the menu, the map becomes lighter and you see a monochrome menu on top of it.

The following is pretty simple, but can be extremly useful for RPG magic animations or weather effects. It's a sandstorm effect program with grayscale. There are two versions, one that displays the sand in gray and the screen content in black in front and the other that displays the sand in black and the screen content behind in gray (altough hard to see in certain cases). Here's a screenshot attached to the post and the source code/zip file

Quote
:.SANDSTRM
:StoreGDB
:For(Z,0,50
:conj(Z,L3,768
:For(A,0,1
:DispGraphr
:End
:End
:DispGraph

:.SANDSTR2
:StoreGDB

:For(Z,0,50
:conj(Z,L6,768
:For(A,0,1
:DispGraphr
:End
:End
:RecallPic
:DispGraph

All it does, basically, is copying the RAM content starting at Z until 768 bytes further in either the screen buffer or the back-buffer, depending of the routine. Since doing such thing normally looks like garbage, making that garbage scroll will cause a sandstorm effect

The routines can be altered to make the scrolling start elsewhere (as long as it's within the RAM boundaries), move faster or slower and last longer.

A pretty cheap, but fast way to do such animation :P

That's really cool. I personally like the gray "sand" with black background better, but that's just me. Great job :)

Yeah same. It looks much better IMHO. The other one could probably work best in tilemaps that have lot of black areas.

And thanks, lol, altough it wasn't much work really except for one RAM clear cuz I used conj({Z},{L6},768 instead of conj(Z,L6,768 at first :P

That's really cool! I like the gray sand over the black background.  This makes me wish I was programming an Axe RPG. ;D
