lol :)smile.gif

16x16 are alright, but they take up quite a bit of space on the screen...

Yeah, even on the 68k calcs (89 specifically), 16x16 look a little blocky...

they do take a lot of room, but you can fit so much more detail *cuddles zelda graphics :Dbiggrin.gif
@tifreak8x:might i recommend as suggestion to look at the code of my text routine i posted in the Zelda Forum, it basically combines Spellshaper's and Xlibman's text routines. I really like the idea of using symbols to represent a newline or wait for keypress.

Well, I am starting my attempt at writing my own routine for the npcs. First attempt failed miserably, writing things all over the place. lol

I looked at xlibman's version, so I have a better grasp of how to handle it (Actually tried the prog, but it won't work correctly on my 84+...?)

I also integrated Resource into most of my game, there is still a little lag time on the maps, but not nearly as bad as before. I think once I get things going on the writing routine, I will begin work on adding some rooms to the houses... :Dbiggrin.gif

Well, I can get it to display the text semi correctly... :Dbiggrin.gif Gettin closer! :Dbiggrin.gif

Yay for me! I got it to work, and without the text erase (which will add only a few bytes, once I finish configuring the game for the routine) it is only 145 bytes! :Dbiggrin.gif Me so proud of myself...

It is gonna get a lil bigger, I realized how simple a variable text speed system would be, so I will implement it as well. :)smile.gif

Sorry to dp, but I found this interesting tool:

http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/303/30341.html

This prog is helpful to determine whether a save file exists, whether all the programs are there, etc. :)smile.gif This is something that should be in the archives...

Already using it  %)rolleyes2.gif

I use it for the save files and will be used for game self-fixing routine in case of crash... in case a SUTBRW (Silliest User To Be Reckoned With) chooses to play my game

Well, hopefully tonight I can make a bigger dent in the intro program. I will have to create the text box that will allow three lines of text to be displayed, and use a for( line(x,y,x,y,0 end code to clear it out. :)smile.gif The name part will be extremely easy, as I will just use a modified version of the Command interface TI-City uses.

This game is so gonna rock! :Dbiggrin.gif
