Hey everyone, I haven't posted in quite a while but I thought I might now to see if anyone's interested in this project!

I just bought Fez when it came out on PC a week ago and I had a lot of fun with it! One of the more interesting parts was deciphering the in-game language, but translating back and forth was a bit cumbersome. So I thought I would make a translator for TI-84+!

I have basically nothing right now, but it shouldn't take me a few weeks to complete it. Right now I'm thinking of allowing the user to encode a string written in English, decode a string in the Fez language, and pair Fez characters with English characters (the program WON'T have these pre-loaded, to require the player to still decypher it himself).

What do you guys think? Does/did anyone here play Fez? I think there are online versions of this but I thought it would be fun to make one for the calculator anyway!

Oh, and here is the working title screen:



EDIT: Trailer
 

I've been working on a new platformer.  The physics and collision detection are finished, so I am now doing level design.  I have written the engine in such that rooms can be added easily.  Each room has two unique 'programs' (written in separate programs to make accessing them easier), one that draws the room and one that deals with any actions unique to the room.

The size of the engine is 2-3 kb, but with just 1.5 finished rooms added it is 6 kb.  I want to add many more rooms, and I know I will run out of RAM at this pace.

So, is there any way I can put these files in a group and read them from archive?  I have a feeling someone will suggest Appvars, I haven't looked into those yet because I don't want to have to learn about them right now :p  However, if they are the best solution, I will use them.  Also, can Axe archive/unarchive files and is it practical in a game?  Any other suggestions on how to reduce this program's size in RAM by storing level data in ROM would be appreciated!


tl;dr:  I need to store level data in ROM, how do I do this?

*Pardon the downright awful grammar, I'm writing this in a hurry*

Hello, it's me again!  I'm still new to this forum, but I've been learning Axe through trial and error and progress is starting to happen!  (WARNING: There is a lot to read in this post!)

I came up with this platformer.  It is nowhere near complete, but I think I've got the engine down and the title screen is in the works (it is Spelunky inspired).  I would like some feedback regarding my engine structure.  I already know that certain areas run faster than others.

[Edit]:  Here, I made a screenshot of me playing.  Also, how do I make attachments for the files?  Thanks for the help!  



Okay!  Now, The main reason I want feedback is because this is my first game!  I prefer bullets, so lets just make an unorganized list about my goals for the game and issues with the code, etc.

-The sneak key stops you midair, I would like to eliminate that
-Can I use interrupts to get a consistent framerate?
-Do you people out there think I could make a large-scaled game with this engine?
   -How effective is the 'run universal engine, then room-specific collisions and incidences' method that I made up?
-Is there and even better way to do: *make R01 separate file* *replace inline with prgmR01*
-When I exit via the exit door in the upper left, the calc will not turn off unless I press [2nd][Quit] first.  Help?
+I would like each "World" to contain multiple levels.  In each level, multiple screens.  Not Mario sidescrolling, but VVVVVV sidescrolling (I think?) where a whole new screen is loaded.
+I have no idea what settings I could implement, that's just there for show I guess  

In this test, the home screen that displays is what would display if the user completed all levels in the world.

That's all I can think of for now, I would love to hear any and all of your feedback!
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but oh well!
I hope you enjoy my spelunky inspired title screen!  I may add greyscale for better art abilities.

Edit: Could someone tell me how to include screen shots? Also how to take them! Thanks!
