Hmm. You may be right. Let me take a look at my copy of StarCraft.

wow cool sprites O_O

i know what you mean

has anyone calculated how many bytes these sprites take up?

Nice! This is sure to be a pwnage game.

It looks like it will be a pretty tough one too.

That's really sweet you're even going to make AI so you could play with computer players too.

I see...

Some sprites appear to be stationary, hence only one sprite angle is necessary. But, there are some that turn around, like vehicles, that will need multiple rotations to make for better -- but not absolutely necessary -- turning animations.

oh yea about AI and all, first thing I would suggest is to make multiplayer support first, and then once done the AI and all, AI is kinda hard to do so I would keep it for the end

Ranman · « **Reply #21 on:** September 24, 2006, 09:01:00 am »

Looking at the angles again...

Are the game tiles in the shape of a hexagon?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #22 on:** September 24, 2006, 09:28:00 am »

it depends, they made vertical/horizontal tiles as well so walls can be 8 directions

If every sprite were used (according to http://homepage.mac.com/gs_mjrob/PhotoAlbum11.html), then I would estimate somewhere around 175Kb (uncompressed). o.o

Which is not too bad for the TI-89Ti or Voyage 200. But this would be a significant memory hit for the standard 89 and 92+. Then again, most 68K calc people may already own a Titanium.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #24 on:** September 24, 2006, 09:52:00 am »

i think the TI-89 HW2 has more archive memory right? 784 KB if I remember?

Vladik · « **Reply #25 on:** September 24, 2006, 01:31:00 pm »

In actuality, StarCraft has more angles, but we narrowed it down to 8...

And yes, it will take up massive amounts of memory. It is unfortunate that we cannot do 7-level GS.

I was curious how this project is going. Has anyone heard?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #27 on:** November 20, 2006, 05:00:00 am »

i checked his forum and there isnt much updates either

That's too bad.

I thought Ultima V was a little overwhelming for a calculator... I couldn't imagine putting Starcraft on a calc -- not to say that it can't be done.

seeing all features of the original it must be a quite huge project
