Hi, everyone!
I’m planning on writing an RPG for the Nspire with Lua.
If I can get it done in time for the contest, that’s wonderful.
If I can’t, then I’ll just consider this a wonderful learning experience and release it when it’s done.
Basically, this is going to be about a guy who travels to different eras of time, but his time machine breaks in those areas, so to get back home, he needs to find the parts to fix his machine, which can be accomplished through [intentional vagueness]various ways[/intentional vagueness].
I’ve already got the general plot down, so I’m now working on the details before I start making the maps.
Btw, this will (hopefully) be relatively accurate, historically speaking.

Thank you, Chokosta! I'll need it
apcalc, my game borrows heavily from the code from blockdude, in terms of drawing maps, positioning the person, etc. Do you mind that I'm using your code as a base/inspiration for mine? I'm more than happy to credit you for the help that your Blockdude source code has given me.
Thanks!

Hi, everyone! Time for the first update!
I've just about finished making the first map, and the main character is able to move around now and talk to 1 person, but that's about it right now.
On a somewhat irrelevant note, I'm trying to write my code in such a way that it would be very easy to add more stuff. In other words, it would be horribly inefficient for 1 or 2 maps, but progressively more efficient as you add maps and features.
Thanks!

That's called code structuring, organize it in functions with arguments so you can change how things work for the whole game. It's hard to structure code when you start it, but try to make it from the beginning, it makes coding much more easy.

Very good pianoman! I have to say, are you using Levak's Screen Manager? For all those levels, I wonder. The greyscale also looks good, Nspire's Greyscale is awesome, unlike the 84+'s.

Thank you very much, ephan!
I'm not using a screen manager, im just making arrays and using a command to draw out the arrays. In oher news, I decided that this game will be educational, so all of the levels will have quizzes that you need to pass.

Sad that you quited it, it looked pretty nice.
Anyway, good luck with your other programs
