It is pretty amazing how many features this game has in it. This game is how old?, Early eighties?

What I need Is somwhere withing the program structure to change the values of A and B depending on what NPC you are talking with, and i don't want to use for example;
Pseudcode;

Perhaps you could demonstrate how it looks with it on as opposed to off, again im not sure how your view could be unobstructed on a top down view screen as your view is limited to the screens res., and all that you can see is what fits on the screen. That is what I was trying to say. I don't understand how CLOS can be applied to a top down view game. Maybey i don't exactly understand the concept and it's implementation in this type of game. I hope im making sense and not rambling too much

TI-BASIC / NPC dialogue?
« on: October 27, 2007, 06:03:00 am »
I was wondering what would be the quickest way to retrieve NPC dialouge in an RPG? For example; you are standing in front of an NPC and PRESS 2nd. The program checks and verifies that there is an NPC standing in front of you and then the subroutine determines what text is to be put on the screen is run. My quesion is what would be the most efficent way to determine what text the NPC you are talking to will say. The only way I can think of is ALOT of IF statments, but I don't want it to take longer and longer to retrive text the further you progess into the game, but i can't think of a way to keep the speed from degrading over time. Can some one help me out with this, Im probably over thinking this.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, wouldnt this be in effect on either screen? You shouldn't be able to see through solid objects regardless. I'm confused now... o.o

TI Z80 / [Idea] Portal

Never played the real game, the flash game seems pretty cool though. On the downside, im stuck on level 6
Edit:
No, it think the controls would be the most difficult part because sometimes you have to be able to aim and shoot while running. the game itself doesnt seem all that complex. What was this game originally made for anyways?
eit: no longer stuck, that didnt take long

| Or rather 2nd shoots a blue portal while Del shoots an orange portal. But controls aren't the biggest issue: think about the engine needed. If I were you guys, I'd try out the Flash game and experiment with different possibilities to see if you can start picturing a z80 engine in your head... |

That reminds me, is this the most current VB out? Do they even make VB anymore? Been like 8 years or more since i did ANYTHING with VB.
