How are you working on this? Like have you planned everything out and working in order, or do you just work on whatever you feel like working on at the time?

Question about your asm lib "Resource" (i don't know if it's really yours, but oh well).

Does it archive and unarchive really fast? because i had used codex, and it wasn't fast enough (you could tell when it was arching and unarching). If it's decently fast, i might have to use it.

All in all, if you didn't want to read that poorly worded question:

Is Resource fast?

Resource does not archive and unarchive programs, it takes a program, copies it into a temp program, and then you can execute it.

http://tifreakware.net/tutorials/83p/b/misc/resource.htm

You should be able to get a grasp on how to use it there.

As to your first question, I am focusing on the menu right now. I have almost everything completed except for the inventory menu, and the Party menu. The rest of it is complete. I can't test the Inventory menu, until I have a Party menu, and I can't test the Party menu until you are able to get your first pokemon. So the next thing to do is add the interiors of the buildings, which I still have not done... -.-

Also, if I get bored, I could spend some more time developing the maps, as that is the easiest part of making this game.

o, ok, i understand resource now

Hmm...I think you should do the insides of the houses. Sounds like it would be a huge addition, and you will be able to give us a animated screen shot of all the action

. Keep up the great work.

I am working on an idea to make the map program to be dynamic, though I might have to have the map data programs store the dimensions of the maps, I dont know quite yet.

And yes, I am expecting alot of things from pokemon myself.

go go scrolling maps!

Is Resource fast?

Compared to CODEX: whaddahellyesh!
Why? That's why:

CODEX takes the prgm and UNARCHIVES it. (take program, copy to RAM, delete ROM copy)
Resource COPIES the prgm to RAM. (take program, copy to RAM, done)

Poking around in ROM (read-only-memory ?) areas takes more time than messing with the RAM (random-access-memory ?).

It's NOT the same thing, that is why resource is faster. It's just that they both try to achieve the same thing

shorter version:
Codex: unarchives the program, then deletes the archived version
Resource: copies the program to a temporary program in the RAM

Archiving/unarchiving takes longer than copying into a temporary program

Actually, you got it wrong too.

Codex does what you do manually, it will archive and unarchive a program. Resource creates a temporary program of the file, whether in RAM or Archive.

hm. I still think resource is faster simply cuz it doesn't touch the ROM. any ASM-experienced guy (or girl? didn't we have a girl around here at one time?) here to explain it to us? ^^

I don't know if it's just my calculator, but the sprites are drawn in the incorrect spot.

Instead of drawing in the "screen" of the pokedex, they are drawn in the logo part!
