much more easier and faster, just a few bytes bigger (about 20)

Actually strings would have been easier, but lists are faster, and that's what I need. Well, I've been working a LOT on the battle engine, and here's the results so far:

As you can see there are two enemies so far, the slug thing doesnt do much except follow you around, but the bird thing will divebomb you if it gets close. Only problem is it sometimes doesn't pull out of the dive, but I'm working on that.

look really awesome, the enemies alerady seems to have some AI, I guess it also run faster on calc right?

Looks nice.

On the different hit detection methods... I have run all three, and I have not seen much, if any, speed difference between strings and lists. I guess it might depend on how you are implementing that detection...

Lists are ponly faster in this application, because for strings i would have to convert real numbers into strings. Let's say i wanted to convert 8 into a string:

First i would have a string like this:

"0123456789"->Str1

Now, 8->S. Sub(Str1,S,1) will of course, return "8". Simple, but slow, especially when I have to have numbers abovw 10 (this complicates matters a lot.)

I see. I guess it is because of an asm program that you are using that you have to have numbers? I am using letters for AODR, because I have around 20 different tiles... But then, the only asm program I am using is Codex, for archive/unarchive...

w0w, that looks awsome, keep up the good work!

i think in strs he had to convert to numbers with expr( which was slow

That looks very good. I'm tempted more and more to get an 83+

You did an awesome job with the sprites, esp. since they are monochrome.

hmm now that I look at it, what is the arrow that sometimes appear and move aruond on the screen?

tifreak · « **Reply #25 on:** August 16, 2005, 07:34:00 am »

That is strange... Maybe the direction of travel?

arti · « **Reply #26 on:** August 16, 2005, 07:39:00 am »

Maybe it's the attack ray.

crzyrbl · « **Reply #27 on:** August 16, 2005, 07:40:00 am »

weapon maybe?

edit;
beat me to it...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #28 on:** August 16, 2005, 07:43:00 am »

at first I though this was an enemy selector but the second time it appeared it started moving

dysfunction · « **Reply #29 on:** August 17, 2005, 05:06:00 am »

Yes, it's an attack beam, I just had an extremely makeshift sprite for it, and no firing animation.
