btw this is what they look like (in order, my sword, ASHBAD's sword, the magic sword, and the character)

Moved.  As for tile size, 8x8 (that Final Fantasy game) is usually the standard (and easy to work with in Axe), but imo it's a little cramped. I used 8x8 for a while, before I switched to 12x12. Some people like 16x16 (E:Sor and Dying Eyes, for example) but then sometimes the field of view is too narrow. I have a sword sprite somewhere....*rummages around... here: 03050A14A850E0D0

that really sucks...I hope it's not archive corruption or anything. Did you try sending it to a friend's calc to test the usb port?

I believe you mean, It should be. Parenthesizes should only be left open if you're in extreme need of every byte of RAM available.

It is completely uncompressed so it's just an array...like [7777777777777777
0211111111111110
0200000000000000
0200000000000000
0000000000000000
00A0000000000000
00A0000000000000
0000000000000000
0000000000000000
0000000000000000
0000000000000000
0000000000000000
0000000000000000
0000000030000000
0000000000000000]
or something similar where each nibble/hex digit corresponds to a tile. (0,1,2,3,4 are all walkable tiles, the rest are solid tiles) The example map posted would be mainly empty, with a random door towards the bottom, some rocks in the upper left corner, some trees on the top row, and some other random tiles towards the mid left As for compression, I'd favor routines that are smaller in size and compress less over those that are larger but compress more

Oh, I see. Well my maps don't cleanly divide into 12x8 pieces, so I don't know how to answer your question that way.
To answer in terms of bytes, I have currently about 42kb of map to use. I am thinking about going back to nibbles to decrease the amount of user RAM and the amount of space the maps take up, so you can say 42000 bytes = 84000 squares then. However, depending on how large I decide to make the game, I could easily add or remove map data, so you could expect the final game to use anywhere from only 22kb to 66kb (I don't think I will need more than 66 kb...with nibbles that is 132000 squares O_O)

That happened to me before. Garbage collecting didn't work, but after I deleted some app and the calc defragg'd, it worked. Is defragmenting different from garbagecollecting  Also, I was using 84+SE 2.53MP 0.4.5 with a 9k program split into several parts

Woah, that's creative. I don't think I'm going to have my NPC's walk around, I don't have enough space  (although I could make them walk around once you talk to them...maybe)

woah, nice, animated tiles. Does this mean you redraw every frame? Don't forget that this size includes the NPC engine as well, which is like 1600 bytes My maps are 4096 bytes . What dimensions are you using? Are you using nibbles? lol that's a lot of questions Also, unrelated, I've figured out that shops/inns will be much easier than I thought, since I can just modify by NPC routine to add a command that allows any NPC to sell/buy stuff, and one that fades out, heals, and returns  I love my NPC engine

12x8 chunks? Not sure what you mean there, but I do know that I can have about 10 or 11 64x64 maps to make around a total of 42000 tiles. I also have the engine structured to support an indefinite amount of map appvars (currently I've set up 2 of them, but theoretically I could make as many as the archive could fit ) However, not all maps will be 64x64: a lot of places like shops and rooms will be 16x16 and places like castles and such will be 32x32, so there could be a lot of different maps and map sizes. Oh and the map engine is down to 5100 bytes now and runs much faster , but there are some weird bugs that I have to fix first

Wait, that's my sprite editor o.o! When running it, you say it gives you those errors....? Weird...
Edit; k, I just tested it on wabbit and it works fine... I didn't use any weird instructions that should cause those errors... >.< Did you compile it yourself or are you using the included excecutable with the Asm() token?
Oh and btw, the sprites that that thing produces are meant for use with the Pt-Mask command...although you can use the first 8 bytes (16chars) for monochrome standard Pt-On and Pt-Off stuff

Woah, nice work BSOD on the 83+SE. Instead of a few blue lines, the entire screen turns blue in test mode.
On my 84+SE the whole screen turns blue as well

Small update: Yup, moved everything out and now we're at 5667 bytes for the map engine Although it increased the amount of free RAM needed -.- I need like....4 buffers for menus, a 192 byte chunk for sprites, and a 1024 byte chunk for tiles. And a 4096 byte chunk for the map. And an undetermined amount for the external programs it'll be running (hopefully not more than 2000 more ). So that's like 10384 bytes... not too bad I guess And we're back at 1.4k left in the app , so hopefully this'll start moving faster soon
