I'm playing with Basic again, but want to go a little further into it.
I'm not to smart when it comes to these things, you'll know that from how many questions I ask xD
But i'd like to know how I could do things like tile-mapping, turning a matrix into some sort of inventory, actually USING the graph screen

If there's tutorials for all this, or if you don't mind posting some code with an explanation, i'd be grateful ^_^.
I've really only made menu based games, without using Menu(, but I know I could do something better :I

I hope you return

(I mean not doing a Comeback post only to leave immediately afterward

)

I'll be on the chat a lot more (Under the name Charty).
And I really want to get back into it, too. :C
Damn school blocking EVERYTHING

Hey hellninjas. Good to see you around again. ^^ You shold post a project topic once you get going on this a bit.

Can't you use the forums at home too under mobile mode? I know your computer is bad but it can't be so bad that it can't even handle text-only pages.

I'm not really too familiar with TI-Basic, but I understand the method you're talking about.
I'm not sure this may help you, but this is how I would read data, and draw them to the screen(general code):

Code: [Select]

[{1111111}
,{1000001}
,{1000001}
,{1000001}
,{1000001}
,{1111111}]->mat
(I write it like this, so that it obous it represents the map. However it may be that in TI-Basic you'll have to write it all on one line to make it work.)

For a,0,7
for b,0,6
If mat(a,b)=1 then
draw wallsprite
elseif mat(a,b)=0 then
draw floorsprite
...
endif
endfor
endfor

(I'm unsure if I mixed a and b up. I constantly switch coordinates.)
But I hope you understand the principle.

like stefan said, only
matrixes do [A] (the token)
to get it
[A](a,b)
And 84 basic has only End
And only Else

And good to see you around again!

hellninjas · « **Reply #7 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:46:38 am »

Alright, that's done ^_^
Now, how would I go about checking the value of a space in a matrix that would keep my X and Y position from moving overtop of it?
I.E. if the value of the space is 1, don't move there.

Sorunome · « **Reply #8 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:47:24 am »

If [A](Y,X)=42

hellninjas · « **Reply #9 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:54:46 am »

I don't quite understand..

Code: [Select]

If K=24 and [A](Y,X)!=1
X-1->X

Also, could you explain the reversal of X and Y?

Sorunome · « **Reply #10 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:56:45 am »

it is first Y and then X because it is BASIC, in basic you generally say first the row and then the column.
So
[A](Y,X) returns what is in the matrix at (Y,X) and you can just do comparisons at it as if it was a normal variable then, or you can also store stuff in it like that.

hellninjas · « **Reply #11 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:31:19 pm »

Now, i've gotten changing matrix data all the way to creating and moving around on top of it.
How would I transition onto another matrix/tilemap?
Or does this look easier than it sounds?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #12 on:** January 18, 2013, 02:37:32 pm »

You need to check if the character has reached the side of the map and is trying to move out. Then when you exit the map engine loop you increment/decrement a variable so you move to the next map spot, depending of which direction you go in, then you must re-enter the map loading code. I don't have any code, though, since I rarely used matrices in pure BASIC.

Also a matrix takes a lot of memory, so make sure to pay attention at your RAM if using them (or you can use ASM libs to copy archived programs to RAM)

hellninjas · « **Reply #13 on:** January 18, 2013, 02:48:09 pm »

What if I just used the same Matrix over and over?
Like depending on the value of M will depend on which map loads and displays.
Then the character placement.
Or just have a value put up in the matrix, where if the tile value 3 is stepped on and M is equal to a certain amount, just change the map value and re-run the map loading..
I might be over-complicating it though :I
Slow program is slow x3

Sorunome · « **Reply #14 on:** January 18, 2013, 06:56:41 pm »

Yeah, you could use one matrix over and over but i think that it is rather slow.
