CDI has a scrolling tut, but another one can only help. :)smile.gif
And vector grafix would be a major help in rpgs...
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

 This logic behind those techniques are helpful to any programmer really.  That's really nice.

its odd on the vector graphics. Ive been experimenting with them, and its pretty cool, but in some ways it feels like backsliding. I used to use the point/line commands in almost all my games. Then I moved on the ascii graphics/text sprites/stat sprites. Now Im slowing moving back to using Line() as i discover how powerful it can be.

 And faster. I am interested in knowing more about vectors as well.

you know what vector graphics are right? as opposed to rasterised graphics....


anyway for the most part, Basic drawing is a crappy combination of the 2....

however what you can do to simulate vector graphics (like in Flash animations) is to have a series of  Line() connected nodes (stored in a list or using a string and expr() depending on how much space you need). Then, you can move the nodes around, and use the same Line() commands to draw different stuff.

 I know what you're talking about, but I think its a different meaning for it.


Im talking vector graphics like SVG or Flash.

 That was illustrator, which uses math to draw instead of doing as PS. It's made by the same comp. (adobe).

EP:I never really messed with vectors on a calc...that's why I am interested in learning more about them.

both. my sidescroller use *big* strings.

Frog RPG does something a little different.

my Quest demo uses a statplot
