I suppose you put ti.images at the top/bottom of your code.
But you could do something like that :
Code: [Select]
imagesLoaded=false

function on.paint(gc)
 if not imagesLoaded then
  gc:drawString("Loading",0,0,"top")
  loadImages()
 else
  --Game displaying
 end
end

function loadImages()
 img1=image.new("...")
 imagesLoaded=true
end
I don't know if this trick would work...

Well all the images are loaded when the game is started (or more precisely, as soon as an instance of the game class is created), and TI's own little loading thingy is good enough.

BTW, I added two screenshots, both are from the info windows of two units.

Wow I can't wait for this!  Best graphics for a TI game yet!  (I NOMINATE YOUUUU!)

Who cares if the .tns file is too big?  It may take longer to save and open, but the CX has so much memory it doesn't even matter  ;D

About how big is it currently with the percent you have finished?

And

About how big do you think it might end up to be?


Oohh, and might I suggest that tanks have a range of 4 or 5 instead of a measly 3... even soldiers have a 2! :P

Wow that looks great. I hope it's not too complicated to code (seeing it's a strategy game). Does the CX calculates fast in Lua?

I really hope this gets finished.

They indeed look awesome, but I am scared in advance at the .tns size, since these are all TI.Images .... :o

Good Luck :D
Yes it will be bigger than usual, but I don't feel like settling for a dull white background, especially when I'm targeting it for machine that has a color screen.
Yeah I agree. Almost every Nspire CX game so far simply uses white/black background with squares or very simple sprites (no offense intended to the authors. The Lua language for the Nspire series was still very new at the time and many games were limited by contest deadlines), so it's great to finally see some more complex stuff. That might show what Lua is capable of even more.

Also glad to see you're still around Hoffa :)

Yeah, I will have to code like there was no tomorrow if I want to have a playable version tonight. I need to have finished something by midnight and I still have loads to do.

You still have ≈ 3.4 hours, so make sure you do the most important things :)

Also, don't worry about speding too much time for the translation, use google translate for the often used words ;)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll have the time. What translation are you talking about? Have I missed something?
EDIT: Shit, just reread the rules. I'll  translate what I can, then.

The only requirement is that your program is suitable for a French user. If your program displays text, use single common words in a foreign language is tolerated.

Thats what you need to do :)
