yeah...I found one problem with the speed, it's fast, but when you run it from prgmBLUE and not just run the engine itself alone, it slows down due to the less ram
also, I'm switching for my sisters old 84+ so yeah, I'll be able to test it in a faster calc w00t!
also I'm going to be able to play metroid :P while having enough room to develop :P

I ran into that problem with Chip's Challenge too.  Instead of having a program for the intro/non-engine stuff calling the engine program, I call that stuff from the engine (and have it return the necessary infomation like level selected to the engine program).  Doing that greatly increased the speed.

well I've been testing it on the 84+ and it runs really fast :P
not as fast as metroid, but just about as fast...I think I will copy the engine into the main program when I finish it once and for all, and it will speed it up a little bit...but for now I'll keep it as it is :P
yeah...so I've made some changes to fix room switching but that is all so far
oh yeah I also made the event's work...next is some small changes to magics, and I have to completely remake the maps....

True, and for pure BASIC users (altough this is not your case) it also saves a lot of RAM on repetitive code (or speed for those who were using internal subroutines with lbl/gotos)

{AP} was working on a map editor I think, but I think it only supported real(2 style tilemaps and I haven't heard about it much lately. Let's poke him to finish it! ^^ but yeah if your game uses matrices for tilemaps the map editor might come in handy as it was apparently faster and smaller than Draw N Map

no I'm using bin strings, so yeah...I'll have to convert my main editor (which converts it from a matrix to a binstring after I'm done) so that it can edit bin strings....
