I've managed to kill off bugs relating to the Run option in the battle gui.

Well, I decided this morning that I needed to grit my teeth and add another small program to the list of programs that are currently being used. prgmZWT is a wait for key program that flashes the upside down pyramid when it displays text.

Why am I adding such a tiny program of only 62 bytes to the mess of them that are already in the VAT you might ask?

Because in ZPP (party display program) I saved 84 bytes by replacing the 2 instances of the same code with prgmZWT. In the temp battle gui program currently called prgmA, I have saved 173 bytes by replacing the same code roughly 5 times. Once I get around to it, I'll have to go through some of the other programs and see about cleaning them up a bit with this as well.

Good optimization

what is the current count of subprograms up to now?

tifreak · « **Reply #123 on:** July 01, 2011, 09:12:57 am »

I sadly have no idea. I will guess between 60 and 70, but I won't know for certain until I can combine programs into the main project calc and get it backed up :<

And I'm not going to worry much about that until I can get the battle system fully functional.

As some know, I attempted to test out the items system, only to discover there isn't enough RAM to complete the task. I've done some code moving from the party display program into an appvar. I then took that program, and for every instance of a Z=#, the conditional was removed and all the code that was in the If Then End block was put onto one line. I know what 3 of the 4 lines of code are for, I'm still working on determining exactly what the last one is. The appvar is now sitting at 4601 bytes, it removed well over 1k from the party display program. There is considerable amount of work that needs to be completed yet, though I will get done what I can as I can, and hopefully I will make it so that it is playable once again.

I also think I can easily archive the picvar that is used to save the state of the battle screen as well, and unarchive it when it is needed again, that will save some used memory as well.

Yeah I hate it when you run out of RAM while running a program, due to the large data it's working with, and not knowing that a code does after a while

Did you put a limit in how many items you can hold in inventory, like the original pokemon?

tifreak · « **Reply #126 on:** July 15, 2011, 09:23:06 pm »

I haven't implemented anything like that as of yet, I don't remember how many items a person can hold at once. I probably will put a stop at 50 unique items, but for now, I'm just trying to make things work, and it's not being very cooperative in that regard.

Lookin very good

tifreak · « **Reply #128 on:** July 18, 2011, 09:20:48 pm »

Thanks a ton! I've started on adding archiving bits to programs that are 2 parent programs away. Like, you don't need prgmPOKEMON while you are playing in game, and you don't need the walking engine when in a battle. Hopefully this will help with memory usage and allow me a bit more wiggle room.

Managed some progress with getting the battle system to work again after it mysteriously stopped working. Still no idea what the problem was. Anyways, Use of Antidote now works so long as it is on a Pokemon that is in battle. It currently does nothing to the other Pokemon in the party, and I'm not sure why as of yet. I've got a few things to try to see if I can't make it work. I also need to make it subtract the amount from the Item list properly.

Ashbad · « **Reply #130 on:** July 22, 2011, 07:55:58 am »

Interesting, hope you get it working. Is this just for antidote, or for other items too?

tifreak · « **Reply #131 on:** July 22, 2011, 04:06:34 pm »

I only really have Antidote programmed in, and one other. I figured I better test my idea and make sure the code block was going to even work before I go writing the code for the other hundred some odd items.

jsj795 · « **Reply #132 on:** July 23, 2011, 03:40:29 am »

yeah it's always good to see if one item works before adding all the others

it looks cute

tifreak · « **Reply #134 on:** July 24, 2011, 08:23:27 pm »

Thanks, I think. lol

I've been scratching my head quite hard on a bit of code that doesn't seem to want to work. I've even added in a Pause after part of it, but it ignores it. Hopefully I'll figure something out about it soon.
