Hey, this looks great! First grendel let me say welcome to omnimaga, and I hope you enjoy the boards! I would ramble about how amazing this project of yours looks, but it seems others have beat me to the punch! I have to say I'm glad to see you are finding some help on this project and I can't wait to see it completed. I would love to help, but alas I am still in the process of learning ASM . Anyho... good look to you!
*Edit* I do hope you stay around because you appear extremley well organized and seem to have an incredible feel for game design and concpet.

Wow. I could certainly get used to all this ego-stroking.

I'm glad so many people enjoy the project. I hope I don't let anyone down!  

o.o could u send me the latest windows wabbit?  thanks

thanks for the good screen shot too.  though from past experience, BE's never look as good as that

Like grendel said, he doesn't want scrolling.  that's kinda good since the mapper can be annoying to use in an APP.  fortunately RGP is app safe afaik.

btw, grendel, where do you want coding to begin?  I'm going to assume you want a map engine built to your specifications.

Also, Halifax and I will probably want to divide up coding responsibilities.  Just for consideration that's all  

Hi all, I probably don't need much of an intro after being talked about so much. To answer a few questions I'm undecided whether to do an app or a standard program. I suggested that an app may be necessary because there is so much data (grayscale graphics and such). Speaking of grayscale, I was using Duck's kit but I haven't really used grayscale before so I'm not partial to either one. For people helping out PM me and I can share IM info.  

I use RGP because it's newer and Jim e basically took Duck's and made it "better."

wow this is awesome! From personal knowledge jime grayscale looked nice on calc, it shouldn't be that bad. Usually on emulator it never look as good as on calc since it isn,t accurate.


Personally I would go for an APP, keep in mind apps doesnt allow self modifying code though, so you will need to make save files as appvar. If the project is small it should fit in 32k flash app I think.

Oh and hi spikeman


The reason why ppl including myself thought this project was a prank yesterday is because like on april 1st (april fools day) most TI websites do pranks, and Omnimaga is actually the only one besides Calchaven (which seems to be gone now) who also does them on Halloween day. And your project was posted right on halloween day so we thought it was one of the Omnimaga staff who faked a project announcement.
Our 83+SE port of Zelda Minish Cap april fools joke in 2005 prbly didn't helped either

Yeah, being an app also protect the game from RAM clears as well, since it's always in archive and doesn't need to be unarchived to run  

Liazon: It would be great if you could setup a SVN, and maybe we should put together some coding standards so we can modify each others code easier.
