Yup, it's beautiful.

My, you're perceptive leafy. Yes, I will have a problem with entities on the edge of maps. It's actually pretty easy to add a bit of code to the map load routine to parse in all entities on the surrounding maps as well, but for now I'm just going to not put entities on edges of maps . If it become a problem while map designing, I'll do something about it then.

Warp tiles & NPCs as part of the map are now implemented (in addition to full parsing of all map metadata, etc.)



Things left to do:
-In-game menu
-NPC talking system (probably going to borrow a lot of code from Embers)
-battle engine (woooo)
-begin thinking about plot details and begin map making~

Current size (executable): 5kb

You can't do it in one command, nor should you want to. Grayscale sprites come in two layers, so (well, I guess you waste a few cycles reloading the x and y arguments) you'd most commonly have code that looks like pt-on(x,y,pic1) : pt-on(x,y,pic1+8)^r
Pt-Change is the invert, and it uses xor logic. So anything black on the sprite will be black if the pixel that's being drawn on is white, (1 xor 0 = 1), and white (invert) if the pixel it's being drawn on is black (1 xor 1 = 0). White pixels in the sprite will be transparent (n xor 0 = n)

I see that now... *facepalm* I need to pay more attention

No worries.
And nice to see the screen not disappearing while you're picking a piece. Do you have any other plans besides adding in AI?

Oh nice

Note that the bitmap Y offset might be kinda weird (at least in my experience it's about 3 px off )

Edit: Never mind, that *shouldn't* be a problem

Woah, necro! (sort of)

Welcome to the forums, tincopper2.

I'm not ztrumpet, but I can tell you that if you want to use 16x16 sprites in pure Axe, you'll have to use 4 8x8 sprites...that's the only way to do it without an Axiom or assembly coding. (or, as dj mentioned, you can use the bitmap command but that sucks if you want to get any kind of reasonable speed)

There are probably quite a few 16x16 sprite routines floating around in assembly, you could probably find one relatively easily (although if you want clipping that's a different story...)

That's an interesting combination. So as an atheist, are you socially conservative as well, or more like a libertarian (fiscally/governmentally conservative, but pro gay rights/choice/marijuana legalization)?

I'm only kinda new to java but this is how I would begin thinking about it. Pipe in the file .html, parse as text, move through it until you reach <table>, begin parse table code which just looks through and ignores everything in <> unless it's tr, then look for stuff in td and output it on a line (when you reach </td>, output a comma), once you reach </tr> make a newline, and loop until you reach </table>

I guess the annoying part would be trying to make a good tag recognition algorithm, but you could if you were feeling lazy/inelegant just scan one character at a time and then just use a lot of if statements once you find a "<" character.

This is when I think a lower-level language would be more appropriate than java, mainly because looking for certain character patterns would be super easy in something like Axe or C (i think, anyway), where in Java I have no idea what the proper library/api is or how to use it for that purpose
