I think I'll abuse XCOPY some, because I see certain (planned, not programmed) sub programs that I will want a lot. ;D

The save file will be, well, I havn't gotten there yet.  So far I'm using lists L1 to L6 and LA to LM and about 1/3 of those will be in the save file.  I doubt if it will be much over 500 bytes, though. :D  It's so cool to have so many lists!  I have to have a "List of Lists" in my notebook. O0

Plus when using matrices or dual layer ascii strings, the game gets huge pretty quick due to each map size, so it will be inevitable that you'll need to abuse archive memory, thus, use XCOPY :P

I think I'll use one list with each element in the format:
PowerPower.AccuracyAccuracyStaminaStamina
For example a move with 35Power, 95Accuracy, and 2Stamina would compress to: 7.1902  (Power and Accuracy are multiplied by 5.)

aaah ok ^^

You will probably need to check TIBD for compression methods for lists. This is where I got the one for Illu 13 save files

Yeah TiBD has some very good resources on that.  Digit extractions are your friend ^^ I became good friends with digit extraction when i made Six Differences ;)

I've made major progress on the battle engine today.  I just copied most of the code I had on paper; It's hard to copy that much correctly. :)

Due to the fact that I'll have a lot of free time durring the next two days, I think I'll have a screenie of the current progress (hopefully a compleated battle engine) for you guys to see on Monday. ;D

Don't fail us!  I won't be able to breathe on Monday if one of these two things happens:

1. I don't see your screenshots
2. Rumors are false, and the Supreme Commander 2 demo doesn't come out that day

Nope, I don't have a TI-84+, nor do I have the money to buy one at the current price

Oh yeah, I forgot you have an 83+se. That's my favorite calc, it's even over my 84+se. ;D

Edit: Two Mega-Errors resolved. ;)

I think I've discovered why I shouldn't code on paper; I've spent 3-5 hours just finding and fixing bugs.  I'm trying to fix one particularly hard one now.   >:(
Oh well. ;D

Edit: This glitch fixed: I had an end in the wrong spot. :)

I tend to dislike coding on paper cuz it doubles my task x.x, I prefer to code directly on calc, then debug there. If I am scared of screwing up code I just do a copy of my program and archive it in case.
