i now have three AI's done:
1.moves randomly.
2.changes dir., moves two spaces, repeats.  if it sees you, it will attack viciously.
3.moves randomly.  if it sees you, it will attack with spears.

i did a test where i had one of each type of enemies on the field, and it worked fine.  

no;yes;  

hmm maybe you could give it a try on the 83+, at least try to make it compatible, it will be a bit slower but ppl will still be able to play it on regular 83+. Some ppl actually liked Dark link quest a lot even if it was slow

maybe you could make another Zelda project SE only then

EDIT: I almost forgot to say that the first time I checked the today active topic list your featured project topic had exactly 1337 views O_O

PWNSOR DOSE AXSOR NUBZ FORUMZ!@!

also, since a lot of ppl seem to have ti-83+'s, i guess i have to stick with this....but they're not getting off that easy.  im gonna add so many lvls that they'll have to clear their ram and archive just to play it :evil:  although that might not be a lot cuz of the limit.  hehehe, and if there's a movie or two, i wont allow the ti-83+ users to view it cuz of memory restrictions. (thank you zbasic for calcver.)  
im going to try to have at least 300 screens and at least 4 dungeons.  im up to what i believe is my 5th AI. im not sure cuz i lost count.  right now, the whole menu prgm is archived cuz itz like 2K, so im using flash gordon til gambit finishes zcopy. thats really about it.  
after AI comes block, sign, and chest detection/usage, then doors and stairs detection/usage, then mini-games, then mapping, then intro, then bosses, then testing, then *maybe* movies, then extra goodies, then some more testing, then...um....i guess that's it...

if you want to optimise it, i'll pm you the files after i finish the AI's.  im not sure how i should get the player's name.  if i go the flashy way, like in DLQ, im not sure if it would annoy ppl since they could easily type it in themselves.  should i go for the flashy way, or the quick way? also, should i/how can i  encode the list with the stats, so that the player cant alter them (cheaterz...)?  

should i bother hving the like like's if they cant eat your shield?  

like like = the yellow tube-shaped enemy that sucks you up and steals you shield
are they worth having if they cant eat your shield? instead, i could hv it so that while your stuck in it, you slowly lose health. to get out, you would nd to press buttons really fast
for encryption, im putting the list (how i store char info) into the str where i plan on storing the names.
