Well, here it is, Kevin. ^^

Anyways, I have started porting the 25 16x16 enemy characters over to hex from binary, this should not take too long to accomplish. Also, while I was looking at the code for the game start up, I noticed that I used a Goto inside a while loop, so now I must recode the entire thing to hopefully be forgiven my sins...

:lol:

YAY I am wondering if there will be a demo soon? I am curious how fast it runs compared to the old one? I am curious about what you can come up without xlib

Well, the converting the enemy pics will be a slight pain, since I have to try to keep identifying sets of four binary code... It all kind of runs together after a while.

And once I get the new system going, and integrate Resource, I will see about releasing a new demo.

And, to probably either give the AOD series a big finish, or allow it to rise higher, I will create a version using xlib.

Yes, this is a great way to do sprites. Since each number responds to four pixels. Talk about compression and speed!

Yup, I want this game in as pure basic as possible. I want to try to pull of an awesome game using this method, though I kinda wonder about speed...

*note to self: Replace matrix engine with string engine*

Yeah, string will compress and be faster to some degree. Unless you have to convert string->Matrix.. I hope to see you online tonight, I can suggest something.

It will be completely powered by stings, even the levels.

Right now it is powered by matrix level sets, and hopefully I will be able to remake the engine I had before the RAM clear... Do you think I should also tack on a life bar to the right side of the screen??

Hey old pics!! I went through and found them in the Calcgames forum...
