I am the greatest champion of BASIC but I do feel that it has its limitations. For example,

the water is stationay. It doesn't move. This could be fixed with C to run in real time. Limitations like this are the reason why I was so reluctant to finish. But then I got over it. So I would like to ask a question:

When basic programmers use C (xlib, flib, or self made libs) is it a lie to say that your program is BASIC?

neat.

Well, if I use Asprgms/Apps/libs at all, I call it "enhanced BASIC"

If you're talking about flib, I think it's still basic. People who use xlib for 8x+ seem to think so. But they categorize it as basic + xlib, as opposed to pure basic.

Enhanced BASIC...I can live with that.

yeah thats what I call it. Tr1p1ea made a basic rpg demo using his own asm lib (xlib) and it has animated water and flower sprites

Makes me want to redo my collision detection program to C so that it can run in real time.

Very nice! I would love to beta test, when you get that far.

Also, any plans on bringing back the old site??

mdjenkins86 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 18, 2006, 03:58:00 am »

the site exists on geocities.com/mdjenkins86

tifreak · « **Reply #23 on:** July 18, 2006, 04:00:00 am »

Hmm... lol, I guess I must have gotten your site confused with someone else's... >.<

Um, I think I just thought of a way to update the water in real time on the screen in BASIC at a decent speed

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #25 on:** July 18, 2006, 04:03:00 am »

it was on comcast before, but it shutted down in october

Thats right it was on comcast... as for a demo. Soon I profise. There is just one problem, and that is emulating HW3 AMS on VTI so I have to do double work to make it compatible....

interesting code piece if anyone cares:

//to figure out if you are runing a HW2 or HW3 (Titanium) in Basic

c1

-->

CODE

ec1if getConfg()[22]< 2000000: Text "Running a HW2"c2

ec2

//end of code
this also works on the emulator

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #27 on:** July 18, 2006, 07:07:00 am »

There is HW4 now btw o.o

Liazon · « **Reply #28 on:** July 18, 2006, 07:15:00 am »

Use this to emulate 89titanium and Voyage 200 with an AMS upgrade from TI.

Thanks, I needed something like this
