sounds good, what were you thinking for the splash screen though?

were you trying to type up your program? if you were you could use sourcecoder 2 to parse it for you and save you the work

hmm, this could be a problem with IRC...and now we are down to 8 staff members...well with the influx of new posters I hope the loss of these members will balance out. It still kind of sucks though

Ok, I am almost finished the engine, it runs way faster then before, but it has slowed down as I added more checks and such. I decided to try greyscale, but I don't know if I can get it to work right, on a 83+ it looks horrible, but it might run well on the faster ones because it isn't too bad but it still looks like shit. I'll post a screeny as soon as I can I hope it still runs well when I add in enemy physics EDIT: ok so here is a screen shot of it

Not a big fan of these kinds of jokes, but I would like to point out how much more awesome I am then Chuck Norris. Seriously, I'm the shit.
I would start running and hiding right now

ok, I have a new update, I haven't fully figured out how to display my rooms yet, but I know that it will be a 22*16 room using 8*8 tiles, and you will be only able to see 11*8 at a time, so it will have 4 screens per room. I have finished the room loading sequence it is a little bit slow but it allow me to have 34 sprites I believe (I use all the letters/numbers and theta for the string which then converts it to the matrix which I will use for displaying. I have a screeny that I made, notice the 'lightning' animations on the titlescreen (well more of flashes of light, which looks better on calc I might add)

Chuck Norris once shot down an enemy air plane by pointing at it and saying "bang!"
Chuck Norris doesn't do push ups, he pushes the world down

I was playing around with Celtic III and trying to figure out identity(4 and I accidentally cleared my RAM, and everything I had made was lost....luckily I had backed it up to make this I am glad I did

lol, well I had just backed up my calculator... EDIT: ok, well I think I did a better titlescreen (added in some lightning flashes) and I'm working on the display engine, which may take a while if I am going to include the rain effect in the game engine I know for sure now that I will be using a tilemap from a matrix, but to store the maps I was going to use strings, but that would mean only 10 different sprites could be used, unless I find a way to increase it...maybe with the instring( command.... I am storing the maps as archived appvars so I don't have to worry about them being in the way, and I think this version will end up much better then the pure basic one was...

ok so for this I will use xLib I guess, which will also work for Celtic III.
so the simplest way to do greyscale with xLib is to recall a picture, then recall another over top of it repeatedly. so the simplest way would be like this::Delvar K
:While Not(K
:getkey->K
:real(3,<pic1>,0
:real(3,<pic 2>,0
:Endto add more depth to the image you can just add another real(3 statement
now to do greyscale sprites is a bit harder, the sprite command would be too slow on the calculator, so the easiest way would be to use real(2 (the DrawTileMap command). [quote="DrawTileMap Syntax]real(2,Matrix_name,x_offset,y_offset,Width,Height,SStartX,SEndX,SStartY,SEndY,Pic#,Logic,TileSize,Update_LCD)[/quote]
so the earlier code would be modified to work like this::Delvar K
:While Not(K
:getkey->K
:real(2,<matrix 1>,0,0,5,0,5,<pic with tiles>,0,8,1
:real(2,<matrix 2>,0,0,5,0,5,<pic with tiles>,0,8,1
:Endnow this code will only draw a 5*5 map on the screen, if I did my syntax right....and this will have 2 level greyscale, now for 3+ level greyscale you just add more real(2 commands.

no thank you, I already did

well I'll start typing up the tutorial tomorrow, but here is a quick rundown for you. In basic the only way you can do effective greyscale is with an ASM lib. greyscale is just two (for 2 layer) or 3 (for 3 layer) or 4 (for 4 layer) etc sprites that are being displayed in each others place fast enough to kind of merge the sprites together, so I will start with a quick example using 2 layer greyscale (since it is easiest)
to display a white pixel you will leave the pixel blank in all the sprites
to display a grey pixel you will leave the pixel blank in only one sprite
to display a black pixel you will have the pixel on in all of the sprites
{0}{1}{0}{1} pixel 1
{0}{0}{1}{1} pixel 2
--------------
0 1 1 2 darkness
3 layer just adds more intensities of grey that you can use. I'll actually start a tutorial tomorrow, and maybe DJ could post some of the code he used.

thanks! funny story, I was playing around with Celtic III and trying to figure out identity(4 and I accidentally cleared my RAM, and everything I had made was lost....luckily I had backed it up to make this I am glad I did
