Working on the doors. I have connected 2 rooms with so called door-tiles. There is a weird bug that allows players to walk trough walls next to the doorway. I hope I can fix this as fast as possible.

About: Daniel Remar, the creator of the PC original, said it was all right to port his game and he'd like to see it on a calculator. That was back in 2011 and my Hero Core port is still not finished.
In this topic I will be posting updates and development builds.

The tilemaps are going to be huge when I use the standard way to do it. The most common tile is an [FFFF] 4*4 tile I could also draw an inverted square instead of waisting ram. The sprites will never walk on tiles because they are solid, so I can simply draw the 4*4 sprites, refresh the screen then draw a black square over them and redraw them at the new position.
Lol even those graphics are hard to port to the crappy 96*64 screen of the TI84. 4*4 it will be. The sprites are going to be 4*4 too I guess. It looses the whole graphic dimension by doing this But the gameplay will be quite the same as the pc version. Bosses and some enemies will have bigger sprites. Are there 4*4 sprite drawing routines? Not the type of fake sprites axe uses now. I mean real sprites that replace a part of the tiles and when they move along the tiles only have to be redrawn in that certain area. This will speed up games dramatically I guess.
I'm trying to make a Hero Core clone for the TI series. The original game has 8*8 sprites and tiles and the playfield measures 20*20 tiles. The TI-84 however has the capability to draw 96 8*8 tiles or 384 4*4 tiles which comes close to the original max of 20*20=400 tiles. Is it better to use 4*4 tiles and have more room to play with or plain 8*8. Scrolling is no option, because the original game has no scrolling at all.
I'm learning how to program microcontrollers. When there is a proper way to let the TI communicate with one of the ports of the PIC microcontroller I can make a sound engine. 10 Mhz sound FX Finally did it. Oh sh*t yes!

Are there some tutorials available for animation? I'd like to help
