I'm probably gonna go ahead and write up a small tutorial involving some of the technical functions that might go right over BASIC users' heads. Like how to use the binary read/write functions and its bin/hex/dec converter to extract useful information out of it, so that you can effectively have a variable keeping track of "int" data instead of bulky float (real) vars.

Hm... when these tutorials get written up, do any of you (Nitacku and Iambian currently) mind if I post them on my site?
Proper credit will be given, of course.

Haha, true. Still, it's common courtesy to ask first.

Speaking of such, I should update the site's tutorial page.
Be back in a few minutes. Or hours.

when i was twelve, one out of two doctors diagnosed me with ADD. however, since we never pursued any sort of treatment or anything. i assumed i didn't have it.

hmm, maybe we should create a massive Celtic/xLIB tricks & techniques tutorial.
I know general tutorials already exist, but there are no special tutorials combining everything the community has to offer.
It could bring great graphics games in BASIC by more more people. ^^
You are making me to start using xLib/CelticIII...

actually on TI-BD it might be a good place, since there is alerady the xLIB Guru there, but it's ok on your site. Just make sure to have a copy on Omnimaga in case your webhost went down or if your site got cracked. x.x

I think... this is the first time I've seen the topic. Gawd, gotta check here more often and stuff.

But, on a much earlier note, 16x16 should be possible, but I did 8*8 because the ASM code used for that was extremely simple to get working. I may make an extension to the same command some time later. My plan: Check the string as to whether or not it'll make a 8*8 tile or a 16*16 tile. Nothing else should be needed.
