Congrats on getting a demo out!  And a very shiny demo it is :) It has come so far, and is so awesome!  It really shows how far basic can be pushed.  And thats too bad about the data loss, but at least you had some good backups.  Cant wait to see this progress now that it is active again :)

And i will try to look at the movement code if i have some time, there might be a thing or two, but i doubt it, you have learned well young grasshopper ;)

That said, it all depends of how long he worked on the game today and how fast, though. I wonder if in USA they celebrate Patriots/Dollard Day this Monday? If he had no school and worked like 9 hours on the game since this morning then that's a lot of progress lost.
I lost about 2 hours of progress, but it's fixed now.  I did find a bug that I forgot about, so now I have to fix it.  I've already spent 2.5 hours with this bug, and I'm not even close to a solution. ;D  Hopefully I'll find one. :D

Thanks, from you that means a ton!  I've learned a lot from you and your code, plus it's not hard to see where I got the inspiration from the graphics shown in the demo. :D

I think I've found a way to fix the bug.  I'll let you guys know later if/when I get it to work. :)

Time for another demo! 
I finally figured a way to fix my bug (I had to move some code around), but after 4.5 hours, it's fixed! :D

When the screen flashes, it means a battle should be there.  I haven't put them in yet, but that should be soon, after I finish getting battles to work perfectly. :)
Also, I added in the ability to call an event if you're standing in a certain spot.  This is demonstrated when you get close to the sword. ;D

I think the walking engine's done now.  What do you guys think? :D

(Oh, and this gif only shows the inside of the temple, because that's where I changed things. :) )

Edit: In this demo, run prgmZELMSTRT to start it. :)

wow really nice :D and the text boxes fits very well, I really love the platformer RPG concept. I wish there were more of those. Nice job :)

The only suggestion I would have is when you jump on a block and the party member isn't standing on one, maybe you should make it move on the same block as yours, since otherwise he looks like he's floating. It would look a bit more realistic :P

I would have done that, but if I did the fps would take a major hit.  I think it would only run about half as fast. :)

Thank you.  I'd like to mention my biggest inspirations for this, in order were Illusiat 13, Serenity, and Metroid Pi. ;D

Wow! awesome job! I was having some trouble calling an event when you are standing on certain spot X.X
May be I can learn from your codes hehe. Btw, I can't remember if you stated this but how are you doing the collision detection? Are you using pixel check? Because Elmgon seem to be about the same speed as TLM, or may be even faster, and you have pet system too.
And I think I asked this before, how big is the program so far? With all the strings for the map, I'm pretty sure it's getting big, isn't it?

My inspiration for TLM was from Metroid Pi, Serenity, and Blue Platform ^^

Anyways, keep up the good work!

I would think pxl-Test( since I think it is the fastest method of collision detection. I could be wrong though.

I use both pxl-test( with checking in a list with xor to make blank pixels solid and solid pixels blank. ;D
Thanks! ;D
The demo is just under 9000 bytes, with 19 maps and 7ish screens of text. :)

My map files are huge :( The map programs have to contain both 8x16 String and Matrix for each map
