At the moment, I'm rerouting the 2nd key to let you open chests. Gotta get that routine debugged (haven't tested it quite yet), so I'll be spending some time with that code until I can verify that it's actually working.

It shouldn't be long now until you can actively obtain stuff from these chests. And after that, checking the encounter buffers and writing in that bit of logic. And debugging.

Once the initial values are in place, I can begin work in earnest on the battle engine. That should be some FUN.

F is for fires that burn down the city, U is for ... Uranium bombs, N is for No survivors down here in the deep blue ...

Uhm. yeah.

woot sponge bob is taking over

oh and nice im loving how this is coming along

Just a quick update, I've managed to throw together treasure box recognition. That and now you're actually able to raid them. Just so I can test them, I made it pass through the battle check and just let you grab the item. And they actually add to your inventory now. At least that's correct. You wouldn't believe the kinds of problems I've been having in the past hour or two simply because it would not. (in short, using wrong subroutine).

I still don't have anything in for what happens if you try to grab something and the inventory is already full (rest assured, it'll at least TRY to put it in there before it complains). That's gonna be debated with Zera later tonight on IRC.

Cool, I wish you luck!

Lol nice, only one byte left

Hmm, what can you do with ONE byte?  Wow.  Excellent job.

When I finished Illusiat for the TI-81, I had 7 bytes of free RAM after adding magic animations. I simply reworded some sentences and added better punctuation to not leave any free byte
