3D would be cool, but in a basic game I doubt it would be practical.

If you ever come up with a Mode 7 engine or even a raycaster in assembly, you should consider maybe created an Axiom for Axe coders or something, or even just post the source so ASM coders can use it too.

Well, what I am thinking for now is to do something kind of like Pokémon tilemap-wise. I doubt I will have the axis but, I might be able to come up with a way to display a few different levels (is that the word used?) in a 3D ish way. So, like, you have the ground or background, the level the character is on, and the level above the character (like a roof or ceiling). Then it would be pretty cool to be able to display the tilemap and sprite at different angles (like at player level, aerial, or ground view). Again, I doubt I can accomplish this, but it is a feature request I have for myself :D

Good luck in any case!

yeah, kinda like that DJ, and in latest pokemon games where it looks 3Dish because building get slanted at an angle based on your position.  Cool, Xeda! :D

Sounds cool! great work so far Xeda! Anyways as far as 3D is concerned you could try a mode-7 type of thing, you could try it the polygon way, you could do raycasting, you could do rasterization, you could do voxel octree's OR you could do unlimited detail [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWujsO2V2IA]

THAT would be awesome, it only requires a 5K to 6K buffer :( + google/military tech searching algorithms...

This sounds neat!  I'd like more access to the LCD drivers internal RAM in basic programs and Z Addressing if you're looking for stuff to add. :)

Z addressing?

LCD memory is really slow to use and there is only an extra 196 bytes of memory. But I guess... for long term storage? Hmm, now I want to try something...

So, he recommended making TI BASIC have som Asm controls, that would be sweet!
Then, TI Basic+SpriteLib would gradually become a lower-level language YAY!

Well I know I already have commands that let the user have access to the 65536 bytes of memory... of which 32768 is RAM and so can be written to...

By the way, I love HEX.

I don't understand what he means either

Z-Addressing is shifting the screen vertical position by certain pixels. It's used in Reuben Quest to create earthquake effects.

EDIT: Screenshot! (Note: I had to use PindurTI instead of WabbitEmu because PTI is the only emu that emulates Z-Adress properly)

Oh, that? I can add that right now. I never knew that was the name! I actually took that out because I didn't think anybody used it!

It has different names I think. I saw it called Z-Address pretty often, some people call it Z-shifting or screen shifting. I'm not sure about the very exact name. But this screenshot shows it in action.
