oh ok, I wasn't sure since in your screenshot there was one particularly short line.

That must be because the next word is a long one.

How do you do the offscreen detection btw? Do you just count the total amount of pixels each char in the word takes or is that what pencol do?

That is what pencol does. Basically, pencol is the x position of your pen. When you have written a word, your pen is at the end of the word. And if your pen is no longer on the screen (if pencol>width_of_screen) it means that your word was too long to fit on the screen.

I was sure that pencol and such stuff was only for the homescreen...

For the homescreen, its curcol (and currow), not pencol (and penrow).

ah I see now, thanks for the explanation

Nice to hear but I hope you can use Fullrene because you'll hit the 8K limit very fast (even an App page might not be enough)

Yeah my concern was mainly the cutscenes requiring a lot of memory. Good luck anyway . As for dynamic mapping, just keep in mind that the game maps were designed without dynamic mapping in mind, so some maps might look weird. One thing you could do, though, is for the maps that were not mountains (ie: flat land ones or single story dungeons), is using a different wall tile if that wall is only 1 tile large vertically, such as rocks blocking your path. For forests, you could use bushes or trees that were cut and for maps like mountains where using a different tile would be impossible, just use the same as regular walls I guess.

In ROL2 and 3, it was possible to invert dynamic mapping for certain dungeons so that instead of changing the bottom of walls it changed the top to create the impression that you are on a platform suspended in the sky or something. Also, in Illusiat 12 it could also invert collision detection in the way that you could wall on top of walls but not the bottom of walls nor the floor. You just had to stand at the bottom of a stair, which triggered a cutscene where you climbed it, then it swapped collision.

Says the guy who's not working on Reuben.

You owe that to the community. You started it now you have to finish it.

Thankfully, for objects on the ground, in this game there is usually just one object or event per dungeon or one at a time. Sometimes there might be more but I think that only really started appearing in Illusiat 12 when one dungeon could have multiple tilesets depending of your location in it.

That said, if you decide to make villages graphical, then there will be two or three doors in them, depending of how many item shops there are.

Did some cleanup + merging. The map engine as it stands is 1057 bytes, but that includes some data that will be moved to an appvar. Hopefully the strategy I came up with to make these on calc is good enough.
