Welcome to Omnimaga!

I'll try to be a good friend .

Here's pretty much what the rest of my post was:

Also, if I need help parsing the code, I'll remember to come to you .  I've also made some progress on MLC 68K, but I've encountered a problem.  In the variable allocation table entries of text files, there is a pointer to its actual data, I think.  But, I'm having trouble figuring out where that pointer is and what the address is it points too.  An alternative is to store MLC programs in a custom file type, and then I would have to program an editor for the MLC code to be typed in.  But, I don't exactly feel like making a whole IDE for MLC, but unless I figure out where that pointer is and where it points to, I might have to make my own IDE.  Actually, there is another alternative, which is to edit text like this:

mlc("myprog",2,"CODE HERE")

The "2" would stand for "write data" and "1" would be to "read" or run a program.  To make things clearer, the following would edit "myprog":

mlc("myprog",2,"MLC: #FNCT MAIN FEND")

and the following would run "myprog":

mlc("myprog",1)

I want to avoid doing that though because it wouldn't be very user-friendly.      

Awesome!

I was typing up a report today, and I needed to know the definition of "awesome".  So, I looked it up, and it returned .  

Would anybody be interested in making 16x16 4-level grayscale sprites of Tenniskid, Dragon_lance, and rivereye?  It would be great if I could get some for when each of them was facing forwards, backwards, left, right, and when each of them is walking in each direction.  I could mention your name in the credits, if you'd like.  Also, if anybody has any awesome 16x16 four-level grayscale tiles they think would be good for this RPG, please show me them.

Here's a screenshot of part of the map so far:

Well, I'm going to try to make a version of MLC for 68k calculators.  Unfortunately, I don't know 68k assembly very well, and to my knowledge, that is the only way to make a 68k Flash App.  I do know C though, and I can still make MLC in it, but it probably will be just a tiny bit slower, and not a Flash Applications.  I am really busy during the week, and am kind of busy on the weekend, so unfortunately, progress is going to be really slow.  Also, since this is another thing to work on, this probably will slow down progress on Omnimaga - The RPG (btw I've gotten some awesome tiles for it, but I'm asking permission to use them).

EDIT:  I decided to post a summary of the progress here

Progress:  

Parsers:  3/5
Commands:  1/20
Variables/VAT:  2/5

Plan (note that the order may change, some steps may be combined and intertwined, etc.):  

- Finish parsers and VATs; will take *some* time

- Add many commands; will take *some* time

- Talk to programmers of MLC for Casio calculators, and try to fix any incompatibilities; won't take too long

- Beta testing and optimization;

-- Release MLC 68K 1 ->  Hopefully by the end of the summer of 2007, maybe sooner or later

- Finish the MLC converter; will take quite a while

- Finish MLC sprite and tile-map editor; will take a while

- Work on an editor for MLC 68K 2; will also take a while

- Slightly change the parsing of MLC commands to work with editor, thus creating smaller and faster programs; won't take very long

- Possibly make new commands...any suggestions?

-- Release MLC 68K 2 -> Hopefully by end of the summer of 2008, maybe later

Welcome to Omnimaga!

Where are the peanuts when we need them?!?!? :paf:

I have made some progress in the tile-mapped part of the game; I now have pretty much the base code for the main part of the game.  It probably wouldn't have been possible without the help of Ranman - thanks again .
