what could i say? classic zelda using xLib. if finished, it will become the most complete ti-83/ti-84 zelda ever made, and definitely be of the the greatest ti games of all time.

WOW come on, a BASIC zelda in GS? What do you expect :D
I like how the game looks so far I hope to see this one finished. What I like especially is how you have shrinked down the sprites to 8x8 and made them still look awesome :)
I also guess this will soon be another action adventure in the featured section here? %)

well, i hv nvr had to before since this is my first time using xLib, but it should be a walk in the park.
when i finish the beta version (X months from now :dang:
) if i hv enough cpu and ram left, i will add epona (the horse) into the game for moving around the non-dungeon areas faster. flame on :warrior:
EDIT: This game is a real challenge. i hv so many different items and reactable scenery (EX:blox, falling keys), i might hv to use advanced timers for enemies and objects and split the cpu time. first im going to touch up the story a little, so ill talk (or ask questions) about this later :D

Ya, those blocks. i plan on using them for puzzles. as for memory, all map data will be stored in archived prgms using zflash (only 71 bytes). As of right now, i hv no plans for movies scenes since they take up a lot of memory and i DO NOT want this game to be in chapters where you have to finish part of the game, then you have to go back to the comp and download the second part. (I may include them after i finish if i hv enough room.) also, thnx for putting be in the news and moving me to the 'featured' section!

locking makes programs uneditable.
Codex is a utility that gives the basic programmer many options, like shifting the screen in 8 directions, clearing parts of a screen, built in sprite placer routine, inverse the screen, enable lower text and a bunch more stuff...

i dont think ill use it because i can lock prgms with graphlink and do the rest of the necessary stuff with xLib. Also, im trying to keep the number of asm/app prgms i use down to a minimium. (right now im using xLib and flash gordon)
EDIT: small news
with a new trick i learned with xLib, i dont hv to use tags
Ex: since xlib ignores decimals, if i hv a block be #34, i can store #34.1 as a block that hasnt been moved. Then, after you move it, it will become a #34 unmoveable and the sprite wont change!

concepts; i dont know how to work the captcalc and pti runs either too slow or too fast) it looks like an exact copy, however, because i used the same 8x8 sprites. i think i might hv changed some of them recently though. Also, what do you mean by non-linear?

well its always good to see animated screenshots even if they are too slow or too fast, you just need to say that they arent the same speed than the real calc :)
by non-linear I mean that you can visit dungeons in any order, instead of having to follow a certain pattern

...i dont know...it seems a little pointless. as for link to the past, you were only able to skip dungeon 2 after your got the treasure, which was pointless because you had to come right back anyway. i think it would interfere with the storyline too. after every dungeon you beat, you collect a magic relic (like the lamp), and you sorta need that to progress.

what's the best compression method for maps? right now im using prgm's that put the map layout in [A] and map detail (enemy,ppl,switch stuff) into L1. then i archive or unarchive with flash gordon when needed. is there any thing that takes up less space? if there isnt, i can still have a decent overworld and 3 reletively big dungeons. the many items should not be affected.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 18, 2005, 10:37:00 am
ewww, I never liked map compression in BASIC. When using xLIB it ruins all xLIB power, which allow you to display maps in less than one second. With compression it will take 5-10 seconds to draw a map. However if you absolutely want map compression I recommend strings, which doesnt take much space

it would be complicated (but maybe doable) to make a xLIB string based map loader, maybe implemented in the current xLIB, but map editing would be a pain, if tr1p1ea implement that he would have to do a map loader. Also I always found string based collision detection to be slower than matrix :?

the relics you get as a dungeon's big treasure will be time relics. when you use it, time itself stops! EX: the hookshot.
the other type will appear after you beat a dungeon's boss. These will be magic relics. they use your magic EX:the lantern.
right now im rebeating ALL of the gameboy zelda's. the oracle ones were harder than link's awakening by a lot!

here's the skinny. I feel that since this will only be half the length of a zelda game, it should have half the bottles. also, having two bottles goes well with the "being difficult" theme. i feel that this is a good number, especially since the 3 gameboy zeldas (im excluding the snes remake) all had only ONE bottle. and yes, you can put fairies and potions and such in them. IF i decide to include epona (and i probably wont, at least in the beta), i might have Lon Lon ranch so you could fill them with milk.

yep, and you couldn't even put fairies in it!
right now im making the overworld half the size it was because of memory restrictions. after that, im going to come up with new engine ideas. im going to try to get it so that all background objects hv a .1, or a .3, etc. after it so that in the engine i wont hv like 50 if statements. For EX: .0 will probably be things you can walk on, .3 might be something you can use a hookshot with, etc. this will take time to plan out, so the sceenies might be a while....also im going to lake Tahoe in week, so that doesnt help either.

sound nice, I like how you want to use the decimal trick in xLIB, because with that you could have similar blocks/walls for example but you could have secret passages, hidden switches and some other stuff, maybe even special events when you walk on a tile.
What I though is the puzzle where you have to walk on a bunch of tiles in a certain order without walking on the same tile twice, that would be cool, I dunno if it has been done in a zelda game yet?

Yeah, in "A Link to the Past" (or whatever the first GB Zelda game was) when you put it into a gameboy color, it'd un-lock 3 dungoens that all had to do with color. As in moving color sided blocks, walking over colored tiles to change them, and hitting certan colored statues to open a door...

and Kevin, the puzzle you talked about appeared DOZENS of times between oracle of ages and oracle of seasons.
those were classic zelda gameboy games, yet i cant tell if any of you have played them. you could get'em at gamestop pretty cheap. i just beat one of 'em to give me some ideas.
as for the puzzle kevin was talking about, i actually made dozens of them myself and put them in a game i never released called The Puzzler.
OK, that's enough nostalgia for today. im only 17 and i already feel old %)

as for the oracle games, they were completely separate. but if you had both, all it really did was unlock an item and a different ending. they would have still been good on there own. if you dont want to spend the $$, you could always download them.... :ph43r:

1: like the other basic zelda game, a four button directional movement and a four button directional weapon system, one button to attack in any direction, doesnt matter which way you face.
2: four button movement, one button attack. you move only if your facing the same direction, otherwise it changes your direction. you attack the way you face.
3: your own suggestion
PLZ HELP ME OUT AND REPLY AND VOICE YOUR CHOICE

number 2 would be better for your zelda game. The reason why I had a 4 button attack pad in Dark link quest was not really because of coding because it would have been easyto implement after a moment of though but it was because I only had one sprite for the character and couldnt use more since it was all ASCII characters and it was very hard to know which direction Link is facing so attacking wouldnt have been a big deal in that case. Since your Zelda seems to have a Link sprite that can face in 4 directions I guess it would be better to have it attack the direction it face and only one attack button

i guess if i choose number two, i could also allow dual-wielding of weapons like in link's awakening

yeah, that sucked in DLQ because you couldnt use both sword and hookshot at the same time :(

*YAAAAWWWWWWWN*
it's about one in the morning and im completely tapped. I finally finished uploading the 144 sprites i made to PIC0 and PIC1 on the calc. frankly, i really dont wanna know how many more im going to have to go through, im just thanking god i was able to use a bit-map editor (aka paint) so i didnt hv to draw all of 'em on the calc.
that is all *slams head down on keyboard*

I use thinks like MS Paint too... but the calc is eaiser for me (I make my own sprite editors) so I can test it quicker :P

this is my first shot at making an engine for the game. Keep in mind that it's only running at 90% speed, and the only thing that will slow it down later (if i use it) will be the enemies. everything else calls up prgms so they wont effect the speed. the bar (which isnt in the pic) wont slow the prgm down either.
feel free to leave some tips on code optimizations. Here's the code for now:

i have the output thing at the end so it doesnt display "done" when it finishes. and in case your wondering, d is the direction your facing, so for EX:left is 24, so sprite 24 is link facing left :D

LOOK awesome!! I never though about using the Direction idea with getkey numbers O_O I guess this technique could be used for other stuff as well. So far I dont see much optimisations to be done except to be careful and change [A](X+(A=35)-(A=25),Y+(A=26)-(A=24->B to [A](X+(A=34)-(A=25),Y+(A=26)-(A=24->B , assuming 34 is the down key :)
EDIT: oh well posting this screenshot at #tcpa IRC channel triggered a anti-RPG flame war , someone said he was fed up of seeing new RPGs for calcsa coming out <_<

[offtopic]i think its control + C, but ya, i sure start doing that.[/offtopic]
now that i did the sword, im doing the bar next. after that, im going to try to make it scroll inbetween maps. THEN, i'll post another screenie. any suggestions on how to make it scroll? right now im only using 8*11 matrices because i heard that if you hv huge matrices, xLib slows down. i think it'll work if i enlarge the matrix and scroll using xLib, but now im hving doubts...i hv seen ppl use xLib an scroll with big games SO I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!
PS. no slow down after adding the sword, in case you where wondering. also, i simplified some stuff so it runs faster, but when i add enemies, im sure it will slow down a little.
EDIT:
figures. i copy it just in case and it replies fine....

I dunno about the xLIB slow down with huge matrices, I use a 16x16 matrix in the xLIB demo and it still run quite fast and Ender's Game use uber huge maps as well and it still run quite fast as well. For the scrolling I'll come back with some ideas, as I didnt even experimented scrolling to next screen yet, but I know it will work and run faster and look better than Dark Link Quest, not to mention be easier to implement/code than text scrolling :)

With something like a 32x32 (that's more than 10000b of matrix) if you go into the bottom right corner and scroll it get's a little slow (on the normal 83+)

im going the try to avoid just using the first method i find, and then giving up cuz itz to slo.....i know this is possible....til then im working on the bar. since i had to fit another weapon on it because of dual-wielding, i got rid of the bottle display (move to reg. item use) and am adding the trading item in the empty slot. ya....i guess im having a trading sequence....with something at the end. By the way, when you die, if you hv a fairy, should you come back to life with 5 hearts, or 6 hearts? if i include a life potion, i doubt i could hv them gain all their hearts back and...*ding*! opps...got to get the microwave.... :microwave:

Post by: crzyrbl on July 27, 2005, 11:19:00 am 10 right now im doing work on a prgm that adds/subtracts hearts on screen. it uses pxl-change( but it runs really fast and im wondering whether or not its worth adding sprites of hearts instead. i think i only hv like 95 left...and then i would only hv 8 hearts and....ya, i might do that instead. anyone care if there are only 8 instead of 16 pieces of heart. there are only like 32 screens for the overworld (BIG BIG DUNGEONS) sry ppl, i think i just sold myself, time to reprogram... so i guess 8 hearts now. THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 27, 2005, 12:16:00 pm I think its fine, 8 hearts, 32 screen for overworld will do I think. Ithink you should use pxl on/off for hearths if its fast enough and not too huge or use anothe rsprite picture THE POST Post by: merthsoft on July 28, 2005, 05:15:00 am I was just thinking of a way to do that, actually, I think I'll test it, but I'll explain too... You draw the first tile map... You scroll the screen up 8... You draw the second tile map at the bottom (8th row)... You scroll up 8... Redraw the second tile map no at the 7th row... Repeat... That's for moving to a map below you, you just change where to dray it for above, or left and right... Now, you have a bar, so you just keep redrawing the bar... I will test this out, and tell you how it works, and you can test it out too, maybe the way you do it will be better... THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on July 28, 2005, 07:12:00 am i want to try more than one way to do this, so if you hv an idea, post the code and be sure i can read it. (make it short and change all the u's to ->'s) this is what im planning on doing. store the map your on at and get the map you need into [A]. then, keep displaying less of and more of [A]. i forgot that xLib can use different matrices. is this what you had in mind? its kinda hard to tell. THE POST Post by: merthsoft on July 28, 2005, 08:31:00 am Yup, that's what I meant... THE POST Post by: CDI on July 28, 2005, 09:54:00 am but does it scroll like the old Zelda game? or real time? THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on July 28, 2005, 01:42:00 pm it will scroll when you go past the edge of the screen. if i had scrolling like in teh example xLib prgm. it would go way to slow whats the best way to invert text( commands? its the last thing i nd to finish the side bar... THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 28, 2005, 01:49:00 pm I might try to help on scrolling once I finished porting D4TMQ to the 83+, for Text commands use BASIC tools found on this website or codex (also on this site), it has invert functions. :) THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on July 28, 2005, 02:08:00 pm QuoteBegin-Kevin+July 28, 2005, 19:49 -->

why not?

it says that it puts either a 0 or 1 into X. if its a 0, it means its a TI-83+, and if its a 1, its a SE. although i guess it meant to says a TI-83+ family calc with 2.5 times speed. it says in the readme that if you want the calcver function only to just use ZCALCVER like you said, but i need more than half of ZBASIC's functions anyway. THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 09, 2005, 06:08:00 am oh so I guess Gambit didnt updated it, I am wondering if it would crash with teh 84+SE, mayeb for the time being you should use ZCALCVER as well (not the one on Omnimaga but the one on ticalc.org) because it can also output 2 if its a 84+ and 3 if its a 84+SE, or use ZBASIC (which hasnt been updated for that yet) but backup before trying in case THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on August 09, 2005, 06:14:00 am I DONT WHAT TEH CRASH MY BRAND-NEW 84+SE :( THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 09, 2005, 07:20:00 am well I guess this would RAM clear or just domweird stuff, not harm the calc.

THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 09, 2005, 08:44:00 am Faster, smaller, maybe better as well since you can have more controls and no memory overflow eeors but the pb is that you have to delete the program with codex before running Zcopy again I need to get a talk with Gambit (the one who made the prgm) so he can fix that bug so we wouldnt need codex with ti anymore but its a bit hard because he only visits two of the forums I put on my black list and from which I banned myself and I only see him on #tcpa now :( THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on August 09, 2005, 11:36:00 am I AM SPOILING THE HOOK SHOT, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. SCROLL DOWN FOR SCREENIE  i used the constrast from zBasic in the beginning, but vti sorta ruined it. on the calc, the constrast goes in and out more smoothly also, notice that the scenery has been altered and the pickup function is completed THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 09, 2005, 12:27:00 pm O_O O_OO_OO_O:crazy: :crazy::crazy::crazy:OMG, its so...so... soo... *speechless* sry I cant think of any words to describe how awesome it is, it's so... beautiful :woot: :woot:*Kevin Post by: crzyrbl on August 09, 2005, 01:19:00 pm in case anyone is wondering, i actually completed ALL of the weapons, but i didnt want to spoil them...

And the current features are awesome :) THE POST Post by: merthsoft on August 10, 2005, 07:13:00 am Wow, that's amazing, all of it, the features, and the selling... As long as you release it here for free (here as in the online community, ticalc.org etc.)... Did you end up looking at my scrolling code for help, if so, I want to be in the credits ;) THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 10, 2005, 07:21:00 am QuoteBegin-crzyrbl+10 August 2005, 12:19 -->
you should use xLIB contrast changing function instead, this would save space and run faster than Asm programms ran with Asm(. Syntax is real(5,contrast_number , contrast_number is a number from 0 to 39 THE POST Post by: CDI on August 10, 2005, 07:43:00 am @Kevin - the slownessssss THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 10, 2005, 07:44:00 am what do you mean? actually it would run faster with xLIB contrast setting than with ZSHADE.8xp (at least I think) THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on August 10, 2005, 08:59:00 am @kevin: i like how fast it contrasts now. if i change it, it will either go to slow, or to fast. i know the laws of shareware, and that selling it for over a dollar is illegal. since installation is more of a FEE, it really isnt shareware. if you dont want shareware on your site, i could understand. of course, you guys will all get it for free B) @merthsoft: no, i didnt use your engine. i spent hours going through each direction just to find out that i would have come up with pretty much the idea you had :( @kevin again: i have the B451C layout of the first two dungeons, none of it set in stone. i feel i did pretty good on them :) edit: zbasic works fine, this game is god on an se... This post has been edited by crzyrbl on 10 Aug, 2005, 15:00 THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 10, 2005, 09:07:00 am Nice, but ZSHADE takes RAM, not much but with xLIB you could have a smaller syntax and it would take less space, but thats up to you well I dont know about shareware laws, I am just more into open source software, 90% of what I have on my PC is open source, the only thing that is shareware or sold for money is Windows and what came with windows :) the only reason why I still use M$ software now is becuase I am too much used to them, I have used them for ages THE POST Post by: CDI on August 10, 2005, 09:16:00 am @Kevin - the game would run slow... wouldn't it? THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 10, 2005, 09:17:00 am with zshade it would run fast enough, but by using xLIB instead you save some precious RAM space, since xLIB only take archive memory THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on August 10, 2005, 10:29:00 am im using zbasic for other stuff too, so i guess i have to keep both. .... ......... ..... ......... omg ................. ..i .......did ....it?

THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on August 10, 2005, 12:45:00 pm just because it goes fast on the TI-84 SE, doesnt mean im going to accept it in the TI-83+. right now im adding an AI Library and am doing a little research in AI. no screenies til then. trust in me... THE POST Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 10, 2005, 01:51:00 pm wow sound promising, I hope it will run fast enough on the 83+, :thumb: --> about ZBASIC, I though you were using ZSHADE program to change contrast, not ZBASIC, sry :PQuoteBegin
what is "advanced tagging"? THE POST Post by: crzyrbl on August 10, 2005, 03:32:00 pm w007, 100st post, awsome. i dont know the term for it, so i just made one up :oops: . i hv it so that every time the prgm (ZENEMY) runs once, a counter goes off. depending on the value of teh counter, it depends which enemy will move, attack, or what ever ONCE. i remember him talkin bout tags with the animation, and this reminded me of it...

indeed it look nice I am curious how fast it will run with the new xLIB, if its finished 
. 
. Btw is that weapon using rotating sprites? and also the contrast change looks awsome! 
i'm really curious about how you did entering doors? for me, i have them saved in the map storage prgm, then you access it and the main map [A]-> and the inside of house gets stored to [A] 
. 
THIS IS AMZING!!!!!!!!!! :bow:
