No, I took out the /2. 2x/2=2x*2-1=2x-1

I mean that counting all of the frames of all of the tiles in the total tileset, it could be >256, but the initial frames would total to less than 256 (not just on the screen, I mean in all).
@HOMER-16: I read the tiles going down first, then across. EDIT: I do this for a good reason, too ! I plan to use my own sprite drawing routine at some point, and it leaves the pointer to the screen data pointing to the next sprite down. This just makes tilemapping a bit faster 1353

More randomness here Basically, I was trying to evaluate pi when I was in 8th grade, and I found some notes on it. After updating the syntax a little (I had not been exposed to limits at that point), I realised a neat little identity and I tried to prove it This reveals an interesting thing about the limit of sin(x) as x approaches zero at an exponential rate compared to the limit of 2^x as x approaches zero. Anyways, another neat fact that this revealed to me is that if you divide pi by the nested radical (see the attached image, at the bottom), it will converge to a power of 2. For example:
pi/sqrt(2) is about 2.22144 (21=2) pi/sqrt(2-sqrt(2)) is about 4.104688612 (22=4) pi/sqrt(2-sqrt(2+sqrt(2))) is about 8.051636 (23=8) pi/sqrt(2-sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))) is about 16.025731 (24=16) pi/sqrt(2-sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2))))) is about 32.01285466 (25=32) Anyways, take a look at the proof I devised it when I was trying to show that it did in fact converge 1354

Yeah, I am assuming that we won't need any more than 256 base tiles, but the number of frames for the animation might exceed 256. Also, I really hope I find enough time to sit down and rework the map engine for 16x16 sprites.
EDIT: *16x16 masked sprites 1355

Well, since we are using animated tiles, I won't be too surprised if we need >256 tiles o.o If we do, it won't be difficult to add in the ability to handle up to 65536 tiles without having to change the tilemaps at all

Other Calc-Related Projects and Ideas / Re: OmniRPG - Coding« on: December 11, 2012, 03:42:34 pm »Pokemon style movement is pretty traditional for RPGs. It should work fine. Also, have we discussed having a seamless overworld (pokemon) or a map based one (Final Fantasy IV/VI)?The way I have it planned, the only limit will be that you can have as many as 256 tiles. So if you made 64 tiles with three frames, then 16 other tiles with one frame, then 8 tiles with six frames, you would be fine. In fact, the method I have won't even require that you have tile data for 256 tiles. If several tiles use the same data, they can all point to the data This will be more useful for tiles that we want to look like one frame longer than another (basically, you have it evolve into a tile that looks the same). 1357

Wow, that font looks great o.o (the 16x16 chars). Thanks for the info!

I think Edge-Of-Map detection won't actually be difficult and it would save on map data size. All I have to do is test if X>32767 (meaning it is negative) for the left edge, X+11>H for the right edge, and similar for the upper and lower edges. Either way, I have more shtuff >.>
I woke up at 1:00 or 2:00 (around there) and I couldn't sleep, so I instead came up with an altered idea for animated tiles. Basically, I will keep an LUT that keeps track of the evolution of the tiles, that way, when I load in a new tile, I can use the LUT to see where it has evolved to. Now we can have groups of tiles that will be in the same frame when they are newly loaded in However, I have a final exam soon, so I will not be focused on this, yet. 1359

You get Pokémon style walking with the engine I made. By the way, here is the updated source (attached to the post). If you want to scroll in any direction, you just need to use sub() and it will update everything. I still need to add code to recognise the edge of the map, though. The code, currently:
Code: [Select] :.MAPTEST

In my head, I was thinking it was a game similar to, "Who's that Pokémon?"

Actually, that would still be easy to do with my map, but I plan to try another method (one I've described before) once I get time. I have exams tomorrow and the next day
