Zera has notified me that there appears to be problems with regards to rotated tiles. While in some cases, this didn't affect much, there was a subtle aesthetic problem that should be remedied in a few. This was revealed after I gave him a binary of the project thus far. So, I've asked him to recompose the maps given the extra data needed.

On another note, the number of maps and the data with them is HUEG. After a day of this, I grew tired of manually compressing each map, knowing that it wasn't exactly perfect. I owed it to myself to somehow automate the process. Hello, mIRC scripting
Still, I'm not sure it would be enough without some cross-page magick. 13 maps down eating up 4K and another 20 or so maps to go with 3K left. Maybe? I'll let ya all know about it later.

As far as what these maps look like? I decline to say much more at the moment, as we're fearful of releasing too many "spoilers". By the time the next screenshot is released, it'll has smoothscrolling and some decent collision detection. Show you a town or two.

On a related note, now that I've bound the movement to direct keypad reads instead of the simulated getkey routine, I've noted that the tilemap's speed is too fast to comfortably sit through while testing. Sooner or later, I'm gonna have to write code to take advantage of the routine's scroller. Well. It'll make it better by enough to sit through it without having to tap my keyboard. It went from tapping the keyboard to increase the speed to tapping the keyboard to slow it down. Strange, eh?

It looks great Is the buffer still vertically aligned and interleaved?

Sho enuff, it be.
And when I said it would be of poorer quality on the TI-83 Plus, I base the observation on the difference Wabbitemu produced (the screenshot, with an 83+SE ROM), and PindurTI (needless to say). Wabbitemu looked GREAT while PTI looked like it would suck horribly.

inb4 can't compare two emulators. On PTI, the title screen, which used just the LCD writing routine to simulate grayscale, it looked PERFECT on that, too. The comparison is valid when both emus are capable of making perfect grayscale when the only thing that has changed was the tilemapper.

Thanks for the edit. Wouldn't have known about it without ya. I'll remember for any future occurrence.

Thanks. It is fixed. Noticed this while I was making a post in some other thread thingie.

I still can't see it, regardless of what I do. Are you sure this feature is enabled for everyone? As far as I can see, it might be visible only to admin.

edit: I say this because the only posts I see that have a success with seeing it include admin, while everyone else is of a different membership type. I'm not sure if this is enough posts to draw that kind of conclusion, but...

DJ Omnimaga, try creating a "normal" account and see if you can see it.

Bump and update. While I figured I could never get to 512, I was able to get to more outrageous numbers with regard to their HP. The value? Look at the screenshot. I don't really know what the proper English name for such a number is. It's that thingie after "trillion", if that helps. There's 29 of them.

Spent time listening to all that was highlighted, and I see that it is good. Keep up the good work!

And now, at certain risks, I now say : MOAR!
