I went with 5 because I don't think that the persons name really needs to included, since they're gonna have the userbar in their sig anyway

lol

lol. I just realized that for some reason I wasn't quite awake when I wrote that post. The battle engine is >9000 bytes; how could I put it into a virtual page?
 

Anyway, I'm going to move the npc engine into it's own program instead, which pretty much achieves what i need to do (free up space in app and decrease symbol count) except it is much easier. Hopefully I'll be able to stick to my 1/1/11 demo date 

Hey, that looks nice

I've pretty much neglected to tell you that Tokens is awesome for the past few weeks now, so here you go: THIS IS AWESOME

Uncircumventable roadblock: the MAX SYMBOLS error   

To fix this I'm going to put the whole battle engine into it's own separate program/appvar/virtual page thing. That way many of the battle engine's exclusive subroutines will be contained in another program and thus not count towards the total symbol limit

However, currently the battle engine and the map engine are sort of intertwined, plus it's been a little while since I've looked at the code so I think it will be fairly difficult. However, once I have managed to do this, everything (and I mean everything) will be a LOT easier to work with since in the app I will have gained like 4k of space, decreased the symbol count significantly, and given the battle engine an extra 4k of space (if I ever need to add anything).

Well I cheated a *little bit* Let me give out the specs for the move system:

First, the first 2 (or maybe 3) moves available in battle depend on what type of weapon you have equipped. You can gain experience with a certain type of weapon, level it up, and learn better moves with that weapon. The main level up system is independent of this, and raises your stats on level up (like in normal RPGs) It's like in real life, if you trained a lot with swords, you would eventually get good at using a sword, but not at using other weapons. However, you'd still get stronger and faster no matter what you're training with. The save file can remember all the different moves you have with each weapon, so you can alter your moveset by switching weapons.

The other 3 moves available to you I call 'skills,' which are learned upon leveling up to a certain level (or using a scroll) are constant independent of weapon and unique depending on your class.

There are 6 classes of weapons/characters/enemies etc. There are 5 main weapon skills that each class of weapon can learn, and all of these moves are the same except for their typing. =30 moves
Now there are 3 types of move for each weapon class that can be learned as well, as well as 2 levels of each move =3*2*6=36 moves
Now each class also gets 6 skills that they can learn independent of their weapon = 36 moves.

Woops, there are actually 102 moves

Actually I think I use very few vars in Space Dash, except in some For loops where that was unavoidable (although i could turn them into While {Ptr}<Max : {Ptr}+1->{Ptr}. For some reason I had it in my head at the time that single byte ops were faster than two byte operations so I changed almost all of my variable references to saferam references. I should probably change that sometime

And thanks btw
