Are the black pieces (the walls) black on the backbuffer as well? Because I see in your code you are using pxl-test()r
Also, I'm not sure how well negative numbers and nibbles mix. I had this problem in cuberunner, and ended up just using whole bytes for the direction of the velocity vector. Normally a -1 is parsed as a 65535, and a -1 in a sign{} is parsed as a 255. (talking about addition/multiplication here), but a -1 as a nibble is parsed as....15? I'm not really sure.
Third, this looks problematic: : {rand^{L4+2}*2+L4+3}→P
: {P}→iPart(U}
: {P+1}→iPart(V}
If I can understand what you're doing, L4 holds numbers you want to use, not pointers. So I think you might want : rand^{L4+2}*2+L4+3→P
: {P}→iPart(U}
: {P+1}→iPart(V} instead.

mmmmmmm...subforum. Btw, "Phoenix" in the board name is spelled wrong. (sorry for the inconvenience)
Anyway.
I need to know what the community thinks is the best option for death consequences. I am currently completely on the fence about these two choices. Please vote, discuss other options and the available options here. Thanks!
Option 1: Load at last save point
Advantages: very easy and small, most people end up doing this in RPGs that use option two merely by just shutting the game off w/o saving
Disadvatages: Can ruin games where you forgot to save, can trap players in dungeons (think saving in the middle of the Elite 4 in pokemon; it means that if you can't beat them, you have to force yourself to whiteout)
edit: I should mention that the save points are user defined. You can save wherever you want, whenever you want, as long as you're not in the middle of a cutscene, a conversation, or a battle
Option 2: Pokemon Style
Advantages: Classic, doesn't trap player if they die in a dungeon
Disadvantages: Getting half (or even three quarters) of your money stolen isn't much of a punishment for dying

Also a restart button could be implemented to quickly switch levels. (As I said in my last post)
I think Del will take you back to the menu screen, where you can switch levels

gah, you already released 2.0. Anyway, I'll just post this small bug report anyway: it probably won't affect many users though since it's impossible to reproduce afaik I was playing Chaoz Fantasy, attempt 17, in the first section of the game (Before it turns upside down), and I died. Attempt 18, the color inversion, fall down, and upside down effects were all turned on  I died, then Attempt 19 and onward were normal. No other effects found. Still...amazing game  Almost beat it...67% on heaven and 100% on the other lvls

@shmibs: it looks even better on hardware. Scrolling gray is a huge PITA which I solved by doubling the frame scroll speed but changing the Dispgraph r command to For(E,0,6) : Dispgraph r : End Also minor update: adding HP bars made the battle engine break AGAIN, but it got fixed. AI wise, all I'm gonna do is make sure they don't pick moves that are half-damage-effectiveness, and that's it. Battle engine still needs some finetuning though, before I can call it finished (it is very close to done though  - i know in sig it only says ~50% but that's because the other stuff is just sprites/animations--but those aren't too hard to code)

Well they did use the words 'a rejection of phenomena.' ie; she can make a phenomenon, ie an event, so that it never happened  . idk, that's my take on it though

bleh doublepostwhatever New update:
Seems like I had more time than I thought, so now the battle engine core is basically finished. Damage formula, stat boosts, supereffective/halfeffective damage, 'damage' to MP, healing spells, moves with recoil, turn picker, items, attempting to run away are all complete. You can now 'fight' a battle against a preprogrammed enemy, although there are no animations whatsoever and the AI just randomly picks a move out of its arsenal.
What I'm going to work on next
-AI being somewhat smart
-Animations
-HP bars
-Dynamic enemy generation (this is the hard part-I have to be able to take an enemy's level, base stats, and enemy ID and calculate stats and a reasonable moveset for it)

What MRide said about making sure shadowed objects are grey. Probably black is best (like Builderboy's Nightmare) , since it would add a *little* speed After procrastinating for days (curse you, cuberunner!)
heh heh....

Ok; good. I'm going through all my code checking that my subroutines are actually worth having as subroutines using the 15byte-per-argument r. My window drawing routine saves about 393 bytes per call  I'm going to assume it's not worth it to make a routine that just does PtOn(r1,r2,r3) though...right?

...How big are the sprite routines?

Bad news and good news: Bad: the battle engine flipped out on me and refused to stop working Good: I fixed it Bad: It wasted an hour Good: I still made a little progress Bad: But not much Bad: School quarter is ending this week so my teachers are all giving insane amounts of work Good: Long weekend coming up so I'll have time then TL;DR Bad: Probably no screenie/decent progress today or tomorrow Good: Definitely by the end of next week

On a related but not related note, how large are the Rect(), RectI(), Rect()r, and RectI()r routines?

Google did that on purpose; by offering a suggestion for recursion, it creates a recursive loop. If you click 'did you mean 'recursion," it'll take you back to the same spot.

Well stats will be recalculated when you load the game, but all that means is that you change the numbers that the stats are calculated off of. I wonder how easy my stats formula is to figure out...
