I always wondered about that.
Doesn't optimizing as you go create problems if you happen to forget what line of code does what?

I see where your coming from, that is true if your working with complicated code, but from my point of view, if you have a hardcopy with notes, it should be fine

Wow!  Excellent job on this.  It looks great!  Are you planning to go any farther with this?   Regardless, it's a nice little RPG.   Wonderful job!

Planning on going further but probably not until i finish my school work might take a while

However i have added in the use of the sub( command.

I like what you have so far. I hope it gets farther into development. I love RPGs.

Thanks

Your forum signature... though... made me lose again

I did it because of a post in 1000 things that show your addicted to calcs and omni.

hmm... looks rather nice
the map refresh was agonizingly slow, though, so i checked the code to see what was up
instead of using separate if statements for each tile type just use a sub( command

so the new mapper would look like this:

Code: [Select]

:for(A,1,8
:for(B,1,16
:Output(A,B,sub("_XS",1+([A](A,B)),1
*you can store "_XS" to a string and then just stick the string token
*here if you like. that 1+ can also be done away with if you increment
*every value in you map matrix by one, which would make it draw slightly
*faster, but might be a pain
:end
:end
that should work and increase speed considerably(although i almost always get typos when first writing a longer command like that and never know until i try running it)
i didnt check through anything else, but you should try to avoid menus as a general rule(especially in larger games)
otherwise, it looks pretty awesome. good luck on making this into something!
oh, and thanks a lot, dj, now im a loser too :'(

cheers

Thanks for the info never could figure out how to work with the "sub(" command and thanks for the encouragement

Tried the new version, battles and menus now work but after a few times the game crashed on exit.

501: You've attempted everything in this thread after reading it >9000 times
502: You've done it all before this thread existed

So I got bored a few days ago and I made this to entertain myself until I could get to sleep

It doesn't really have any point yet but, I think i might be able to do something interesting with this
I would like some ideas of where I should go with this.

Third Progress Report

I'm having a problem I cannot identify. The program is set to display ship options, then wait until you press a key using the following code:

Code: [Select]

0->G
While G=0
getKey->G
End
For some unknown reason, this is looping infinately. No matter what key I press. It shouldn't. Currently trying to resolve.

Try replacing it with

Repeat getkey
End
