Lists.  I was being stupid and put the coordinates for the hero and evil scientist dude in one list, though.  Now I'll have to find where the jump is and separate them.

Screenshot!

Here is the basic layout of the battle screen.  The version is a little old (now it displays the sprites right to left and fills both health bars at the same time), but the final screen looks the same.

I'll also put this in the first post for convenience.

All credit goes to shmibs for the sprites, and thanks to meishe for his compression program (and display routine)

Ok.  My description in the first post was pretty bad, so here goes.

Preferably two different alien sprites.  (In the game, they are supposed to be sort of humanoid, but mutated)  They should be in profile, facing left.  No more than 36 pixels high (preferably a few less), and less than half the screen width.  Not sure how much detail you can get, but a head (or maybe two?), a few arms, legs, would be fine.  Have fun with the mutations .  Also, to make this clear, they should be two different, separate sprites (not like one partially behind the other or anything).

Tell me if you need any clarifications.  TIA, shmibs

I have a Vista, but I guess it can't hurt

I am experiencing very strange backup issues.  After backing up everything except for Apps onto my computer, I was going to make a screenshot in Wabbitemu.  There is a bug with TI Connect (or maybe with my calc) that won't allow me to do this, but there is a way around it, using sourcecoder.  Unfortunately, windows explorer crashed as soon as I opened it.  Then, when I actually tried using windows explorer (not through sourcecoder), it opened fine, but once I reached a certain point in scrolling down, it crashed.  I am very lost and confused. Is there a corrupted file in the backup or something?  I know it's not a program (because windows explorer didn't crash when I opened it in Wabbit), so it has to be something else.

Edit:
Ok, got the program I said I would create ready now. It didn't take long to create, just didn't start until late. Anywho, here it is.

Note:
All "Ls" and "Es" in these code sets are the scientific notation E and the little list header thing L.

Code: [Select]

Prompt X,Y,W,H
1→D
For(A,Y,Y+H-1
For(B,X,X+W-1
If pxl-Test(A,B
Then
BE6+AE4→K
Repeat not(pxl-Test(A,B
B+1→B
End
K+E2B-E2+A→LP(D
D+1→D
End
End
End
X and Y are the coordinates at which the sprite starts. H and W are the width of the sprite. This program, if you hadn't looked yet, exports the coordinates of a line into one element per line in LP. If you want an actual program that will actually put each line in a Line( command, I could probably whip something up. This just seemed like you were going to do so that's why it is in a list.

The program I used to check that program was this:

Code: [Select]

ClrDraw
For(A,1,dim(LP
LP(A
Line(iPart(E2fPart(Ans/E8)),-iPart(E2fPart(Ans/E6)),iPart(E2fPart(Ans/E4)),-iPart(E2fPart(Ans/E2
End

Hmm....I just tried and got weird results.  It seems there is something wrong with the second set of coordinates generated.  The right edge is all correct, but it gets really messed up with the second X and Y coordinates.  I have gone over to make sure I've typed the program in accurately.  Are you sure this is the correct code?

I was thinking the other day (which is always a bad sign ), and I came up with an idea for a really cool gaming system.
We have virtual reality stuff (I've never actually used this, but...)
And we have the Wii.   
put one and one together and you get: totally awesome games where you actually run around, etc.
It would be like Wii (physically active and stuff), but so much cooler.
