I has many dragon statues. It is a bit of a hobby of mine. I will post pics up later this afternoon.

And thanks. ^_^

After I can get away from work in... 4 hours, I will get time to look through that code and get it on calc to test. Hopefully it will drastically speed things up.

Oh, trust me, not nearly as badly as I can't wait for it...

Edit:

I have put pencil to paper and hopefully have created new, faster code, to get the attacks stuck correctly to the appropriate pokemon. I will find out later this evening. At this point, there is an Oktoberfest going on, with lots of junk food, and I am missing out!

Ok, Pokemon alpha 0.1.6 has the following:

::Fully working title screen with introduction
::Save - Load fully operational
::Walking engine at 70%
----Engine still needs support for:
--------Pitch black
--------Jumping ledges on left and right sides
--------NPC line of sight (still not sure about this one..)
::Random encounters works, with flashing animation
::Stat Generation mostly works, needs to give attacks properly
::Entering buildings works
::Maps from Pallet Town through Route 2
----Can enter buildings in Pallet only at this point
::Can interact with NPC's, including one in Viridian that has a Yes/No menu
::In-Game menu seems to work, or at least, in theory it is fully functional.
::Town Map is created
::Can view Ash's stats
::Pokemon Party screen was created at one point, not sure if it is still there
::Pokedex system completed


I think that covers a big portion of what is functioning in the game. Still to come for beta 0.1.7:

::Completed stat generation
::Functional Battle system
::Functional Items system (it is started, just not useable)
::Events system


And I understand, Art_of_Camelot, opinions are welcome, its just I was trying to figure out where that topic came up from. If I was doing large boxes, I agree, I would probably use Text(, but since the boxes and sprites are generally small, I am trying to go for smoothness, and Line( is sure smoother than Text(, and uses less bytes, because of all the spaces generally required to clear out long sections.

At this point, I think you should stick to the basics first. Get text game, then a game where a letter moves around the screen, then move on to multiple screens, then scrolling screens, then xlib

No need to jump to the highest, you should do some learning on how other things are done first.

I am not sure where everyone is seeing this erasing part... o.O

The only things that get erased, is the small pokeball and the numbers. Those are simple 4 char strings that have spaces, pretty much it. The names are being overwritten via a string containing the --- in it. The clearing happens just before reposting the o and the ###, so that does not effect speed that much. And this is a bit faster on calc than on emulator...

Thank you.



Things are working splendidly. ^_^

Do you guys like this better than the first attempt at a pokedex system?

Yeah, so far, it is better than 95% in BASIC.

I am sure to have at least the Exit function of the menu to work. I think it is supposed to kick it out of the pokedex... not sure yet, I have to fire up the Red version on the gameboy and see for myself...

Nah... It's going to be OVER 9000!!!

Oh wait, it is already over 9000. Somewhere around 80k, if memory serves...
