ok, I will keep you mind.
@xlibman-it may be, maybe I should do that later

OK, minor Progress to this little puppy.
I am no longer using a Matrix for map data, I am using strings. After a whole lot of work, I got the entire walking engine on strings.

here is the zip

I included the old engine if you wanted to test the speed out for comparison reasons

wow thats a big speed difference, now it should be like consoles RPGs

keep up the good work

rivereye · « **Reply #108 on:** February 07, 2006, 02:51:00 pm »

will do

nice work, can't wait to try it out :thumb:

rivereye · « **Reply #110 on:** February 08, 2006, 03:52:00 am »

thanks. I just completed a version where the map data is in a diffrent program. Seems to work preety good (but I was very stupid and left my Silverlink at home

). I will update tonight.

Great, I thought it had a speed increase and it seems to run smoother.

rivereye · « **Reply #112 on:** February 08, 2006, 05:07:00 am »

ok. it may because that a Matirx is no longer being used, less data to move.

Quick vote, scape the Matix version or keep it?

kalan_vod · « **Reply #113 on:** February 08, 2006, 05:21:00 am »

Trash it.

I second that. I also switched to the superior strings, so why would we waste time/space by including matrices? ^^

Radical Pi · « **Reply #115 on:** February 08, 2006, 01:45:00 pm »

128 character matrix screen = 1163 byte matrix
128 character string screen = 139 byte string

Hit detection with matrix = simple as {row,column}
Hit detection with string = complex formula (column width)*row-(column width)+column

your choice from here...

The string command isn't hard, using sub isn't complex...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #117 on:** February 09, 2006, 02:30:00 am »

just a lil slower but not that much

rivereye · « **Reply #118 on:** February 09, 2006, 03:32:00 am »

ok, I have the command down that I am using for strings (for my own sanity when dealing with them, I have commas after the rows)
my formula

(row-1) * 17 + coulmn

lol, Mine was simple. I use variable T to keep track of where in the string. The most complex part of it was the moving to next screen, but it is still fairly easy...
