Looks very great, but it seems like it's a bit hard to tell what is currently selected, due to the diagonal cursor. I sense that people might often select Star II instead of Star III by mistake, sometimes, for example.

GLad this is still updated :)

I updated the menu routine today so that in addition to being pointed to by the cursor, the current option also has a black rectangle XOR'd over it, not unlike the original cursor in earlier incarnations of this project, in hopes of making it clearer for those playing.

I've made some more progress on the framework of the battle engine, but I unfortunately don't have a screenie right now.

I'll try to either boot back into Windows and use TI-Connect, or install TiLP in Ubuntu, so that I can get the programs backed up on my computer and get that screenie for you guys.

Most of the menus in the battle engine are currently functional, and turn switching also works. I'm going to be implementing damage and items next, before moving onto re-evaluating the turn queue when someone dies. Animations will be coming last, which allows me to focus more on the important stuff.

I realize I haven't posted much recently, and I'm going to do my best to remedy that.

A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)

I haven't yet installed an emulator on my Ubuntu install, but I just finished installing TiLP and backing up all my programs, so I hope to have some eye candy soon.

I was getting a bit worried since TI-Connect wasn't working on my Windows install, and TiLP never really did either. But it's working on Ubuntu, so it's all good. I can backup again! :P

Good to hear you can connect your calc again. It sucks with link softwares because often in my case when they stopped working completely, I had to reformat my computer.

Also glad this is still alive. A few months I asked because I worried this died out of a Minecrack addiction D:

I apologize for the delay with the screenshots, as I was having some trouble with wxWabbit on Ubuntu. I just got my new Macbook Pro today, though, so I'll be getting my rom loaded onto here and setting up Wabbit in the near future. I hope to have the screenshots soon...

Good to hear it's still alive. :) Also I thought Wabbit stopped being updated in 2007 for Mac?

It appears the last update for Wabbitemu for Mac was Feburary 22nd of this year, so I guess it's still being updated.

I apologize for how long its taken me to screenshot this. Wabbit didn't want to accept my sprite appvar for some reason, but aside from that, everything else in the current framework is in the screenshot.

The framework is currently very very rough, and doesn't even indicate who's turn it currently is, something I'm planning on remedying soon. I also need to implement a dynamic menu for items, and then actually start with the calculations and animations and what not.

But in the meantime, enjoy.

EDIT: I'm not sure why it's double wide like that... I don't know if it was a glitch with Wabbit, Windows 8, VMWare, my Mac, or any combination of the 4. The right side is the recording, and I'm sure everyone knows what the left side is. :P

I'm guessing you had two calcs linked together in wabbit?

Anyway looking pretty good. The font's a bit hard to read tho but the style's better than the normal one :)

Seems like two calcs were linked. What's up with the glitchy sprites, though? Or are they just missing/placeholders? ???

Looks nice though and glad there is new updates. :)

I didn't purposefully link the two, but I may have had two copies of Wabbit open for some reason, so I guess that's it.

The glitchy sprites are due in part to the fact that Wabbit wouldn't accept the appvar containing Roland's sprites, and that I don't have appvars for the other sprites constructed yet. So they're just reading from some random place in the memory right now because those appvars don't exist.

Ah I see. Did you use TiLP to send the appvar? There's a glitch in TiLP causing transfer issues in WabbitEmu.

Did you try 8xpfix? http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=797
