Im new to this, so i just wanted to say hi everyone so, Hi everyone!!!

but that is not all.....
iam a seminoob at basic and have created(/tried :angry:

) RPG's
but due to the fact that the sprites are "0" and the walls are "X" the game is lacking of the eye candy, so can someone plz a website that can show you how to make and use sprites and tiles (In Basic!!!) , thank you

this is greatly appreciated

Welcome to Omnimaga!!

sprites and tiles aren't very efficient without an ASM library (i suggest xlib if you plan to use one).

a lot of pure basic games use ASCII characters, like yours.

oughta do the trick

hi and welcome on this forum

for which calc model do you program? If you code for the 83+/84+ series the links Liazon posted will be pretty helpful. For TI-89/92+ stuff you might want to take a look at this: http://tifreakware.calcgames.org/bt89m.htm

woops, sorry i forgot to mention that i have a ti84
sorry

but thanks for the links
i more question though,
if i use ASM libary it should work better right?, and does the link teach you how to use xlib, i just wanted to make sure, thank you

for 84+ you might want to check xLIB as well, but it's a bit complicated for starters and it doesnt have much tutorials yet

Yeah, but if you would like to just start working with xLIB we can direct you towards the helpful ways. Just ask a question here and we can help you! Most of the projects here are using xLIB, so we have many levels of exp. of xLIB.

There are a group of programmers making an xlib tutorial, and once complete, a copy will be hosted at TI-Freakware.

(At least that is what I was told, that I could...)

Yeah, but atm the most involved one is currently busy with several things and it may be a while till it is out

.

tifreak · « **Reply #8 on:** February 24, 2006, 02:28:00 am »

I know...

Too bad I have too many projects atm to take a look at it and make a tutorial of my own...

ok thanks guys

We are still here to help though, just drop a line and we will work to help you.

ok i got 2 questions for you guys
1. Do you know where the omnicalc instructions are?
2. and im trying to learn grayscale, is that a bit to high level for me (useing the tuterial by kevin

)

It recommends that you be fairly efficient at BASIC before attempting it... You could try and see what kind of results you get...

CDI · « **Reply #13 on:** February 25, 2006, 05:26:00 am »

It took me 4 hours to understand GS... and I completely and unwittingly re-stumbles upon it over the summer of '05

once you get the hang of VERY optimized BASIC, and how to use xLIB (because xLIB will forever pwn Omnicalc) you're set!

theone · « **Reply #14 on:** February 25, 2006, 05:35:00 am »

ok thx guys, i have decided not to do GS, or atleast do a semi one

and never mind about the omnicalc instructions i found it out
