So I was over on TIBD and was looking at their top rated games box thing on their front page and checked out Bunny Gotchi v1.7 and it made me think of the old Digimon Virtual Pet things (and I mean the original one: little square, cracked brick looking, three bottoned one that had like 16 digi's total) and got me thinking that it'd be pretty cool to port that to TI. I was just curious if anyone else had thought of this, especially now that Axe is out there. I think it'd be pretty freaking sweet and I've thought of way to pull it off in multiple ways. I'm no where near good enough to tackle this yet (but definitely will consider this when I become better or even just start planning this out now) so I figured I would post and see if anyone might want to do it (maybe I could help? Who knows ). Thoughts?

Umm...I have no clue lol. I don't even know where to really start with this.

Interesting. Do you remember who it was?

Well I just looked up an original image and just found an Agumon sprite and put it on my calc and it looks like they are 14x15 (or 15x15 if there is a blank space at the top/bottom). I don't know how big the others are...just thought I'd throw that out there.

No worries. I'm working on creating the original sprites right now...I'll post them up when I'm done.

Edit:
Ok, so I got all the basic sprites into a .bmp file. What is the easiest way to get the data from that file onto my calc? I saw in the downloads the Bitmap to z80 program but I'm not sure how to use the file/s it gives you. Help is well appreciated

Ya I know that what it did, I just wasn't sure how to use the programs for that purpose though (like how to use the information it gives you to get the sprites). But I'll try TI-Connect, I didn't know it can convert .bmp files.

Edit:
Got it onto the calc I'll upload what I created.

Thanks. Took forever to do because I was trying on the calc to do it but then somethings weren't looking right so I switched to Paint and did it there. That's why I was asking how to convert it.

You could write it in 84+ Basic utilizing xLIB, that would on the one hand ensure that as much people as possible are able to contribute, and on the other hand it would expand your possibilities to a level, from which almost everything is possible.

Oh and If you need help, I could e.g. take care about the menus - I love making menus 


The Structure of the program could be like this:

[Launcher] (in RAM)
- copies the Sprite-Picture to Pic0 (in order to make it usable for the xLIB Sprite engine)
- sets up a list for the savegame
- contains the main menu
- copies the main subroutine (in Archive) via an xLIB-command into RAM and executes it.

[main subroutine] (in Archive, as XTEMP in RAM)
- manages the main function and calls other subroutines via xLIB-commands (if needed)


p.s.
The sprites definitely rock.
