Art / Need a sprite, bg, title screen, or a tile?
« on: July 16, 2006, 04:05:00 pm »
CDI, would you mind if I used some of those 4x4 sprites for a game?

| Second question: how would you make something move radially around a point (IE, the center of the screen) on the homescreen (not the graphscreen), so say in a "defend-the-castle" style game where you could have to shoot all the enemies coming your way, how would you rotate a character around whatever's in the center of the screen? |
You would use sin( and cos( functions to do this inside something similar to a for( loop with the radius of the circle outside the two trig functions.
For example:
While 1
for(A,1,360
pt-On(10sin(A),10cos(A
pt-Off(10sin(A-1),10cos(A-1
End
End
Don't have enough experiance with matrices to answer the first question though sorry.

Xlibman, I didn't mean for use on entire scentences, I meant if the people needed help translating a few words that is a nice tool to have.

.
Also I speak a little spanish and could help with that as long as the scentences aren't to detailed.

TI-BASIC / [83+ xLIB] Faster XLIB?
« on: July 10, 2006, 04:09:00 pm »
That last code is fairly pointless because there is no need to worry about speed when waiting for the user to press the button so all you have to do is optimize for memory (no offence), but the FINANCE variables is something I will forever incourage (hehe).

ThreeFingeredGuy the first code doesn't work, you want:
Repeat Ans
getKey->K
End
Or for delay, you can optimize to:
For(K,0,10
getkey->K
End
Repeat Ans
getKey->K
End
Or for delay, you can optimize to:
For(K,0,10
getkey->K
End

TI-BASIC / [83+ BASIC]Here's why Kalan's better coder than me
« on: July 09, 2006, 10:41:00 am »| QUOTE |
| yeah I know you are talking about those, but when pasting for example "PMT" in a program does it takes 2 bytes instead of 1? Like lowercase letters? Also technically we cant even delete a finance var, as it will be set back to 0 so it will always take space |
Lets go over the advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
-Fastest
Disadvantages:
-Can't use with DeleteVar or for(
-2 bytes rather then one.
So I will say this: it is not always the best choice of variable, but is a nice thing to know that it can be used if needed.

| But I never knew you could use those FINANCE vars as... er, well, vars... |
Well, you can and not only that but Finance Vars are not only faster then normal Vars but faster then Ans as well, which is the reason I use them in anything that needs to have an ubsurly high screen refresh rate.

TI Z80 / Sprite 2 hex
« on: July 04, 2006, 04:39:00 am »| QUOTE |
| str1 + pixel-test(X,Y->str1 |
That doesn't work. How about: str1+sub("01",pxl-Test(X,Y),1->str1. That should work. You would put it in two for( loops X and Y (I recomend using different variables in it's place though since this program is run using graph screen). Good luck on this, it could be very useful.

Most people who use AOL are misinformed. They beleive that AOL is the internet. It is not them but stupid people who recomend it to them and the fact that AOL advertises ALOT more then Firefox, Opera or any other good browser. Also, those who use AOL most likely have no idea what the internet actually is. I conclude by saying while the people who created AOL are bloodsucking, demonic, evil, fire breathing, demon winged, horned vampires of money and soul those who use it are the victoms.
EDIT: Where is AOL on that poll anyway?

Yes, I would like an animated screenie myself, I am greatly interested in this project. Is there no other way to test the item selection, like setting random values to the data temporarily?

Oh, could he run it on MOS in archive, or would that be worse since MOS doesn't know what to do with the error (or maybe xLib isn't even compatable with MOS)
