hey dysfunction nice to see you back again, I hope to see you around (I actually dont go on AIM/MSN much anymore >.< I am always on IRC #omnimaga ) yeah I should try to find some rooms in my sprite sheet to add some more tiles XDsmiley.gif because the lava areas are too simple ^^ anyway thanks for the support


btw th last screenie runs at SE speed and it was made in TilEm. I doubt I can speed it up more with all the physics it might even go by slowing down, but i will prbly have a 83+ patch that will remove some less important stuff to help the game speed up on 83+ calcs

 I was gonna quit programming Zelda if that really was a TI-83+ emulation, cause that speed puts Zelda to shame!  I didnt know there was an SE emulator avaliable.

he isn't XDsmiley.gif it seems to be a joke, you know, like since you got such amazing speen on a normal 83+, but since it's SE speed it's all okay XDsmiley.gif

yeah I saw after he posted a demo in his topic XDsmiley.gif


right now all weapons works, I fixed a bug with the bombs, the last weapon isnt implemented yet tho. 2nd weapon upgrade is optional, it just allow to shoot further but its best if you have it

I am working on the part where you get varia suit now

I think I asked this back when you released Diortem, but what exactly is the program doing when you move to the next screen? Perhaps you could change things so it doesn't do so much loading there?

Thats not an easy thing to do with basic.  you gotta load all the maps, and AI for starters.

When loading maps it has to check if its a room which has enemy or moving lava or a boss, if there is an enemy it make it appear at a random location, but if the room is filled with walls it can take a long while before the calc find a good spot on the map to dump the enemy. Plus it has to display the HUD, recall the map from a map data program (which take a while with programs containing 20 maps). Loading the prgm itself doesnt take too long anymore with the new xlib functions which replaces flash gordon though. However sorry I doubt I can optimise it much anymore if you want it faster then make it yourself imo it's fast enough on SE (the game isnt even for the 83+ anyway as I dont know if it will even fit in the archive memory at all)
