wow nice! I assume this will make game developpement much faster and allow routines to be used for other games easily, right?

it has been almost a month without new progress O_O

Yeah, I know. Progress has been really slow, mainly due to my math teacher telling us to Clear memory or not take the test. I had a backup elsewhere, but it was kind of old, so I'm rewriting it. Shouldn't take too long.

sorry to hear

I wish teacher didn't do this, I wonder if it's even legal

. It's like if the teacher came at your home and asked you to delete the entirer content of your HDD

Not quite there Now it the teacher had removed every thing including the os the it would have been the same thing. lol

or installed flash crash (found on the very old Omnimaga forums in Iambian (Iambian_Zenith) sig, and I am talking about the old forums from back in early 2004). This is pretty harmful for the calc

thats why you should always keep a fake mem clear handy

Currently deciding whether I should make saving SMC, or not. If it is, it would load faster, and autosave immediately when you get a powerup. If not, it would take longer to load, but allow more than one save file, and save more like the original Metroid games.

What do you guys think?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #24 on:** October 30, 2007, 05:45:00 am »

I would make it like the other metroid games. In other words, either you make it save when you die and always restart with 30 energy points (altough you still keep your energy tanks), like in Metroid for NES, or you make it allow saving at certain spots in the game (save points like in other Metroid games).

that can be done in basic w/ celtic?

how much faster load time?

Harrierfalcon · « **Reply #26 on:** October 30, 2007, 01:46:00 pm »

The speed, I haven't tested. However, if I did save it like the save station metroid games, I would either use a list or a program to save files. Having done that, I would read each element and SMC the subroutines to fit. Considering what I'm packing in, then consider simply having those subroutines ready to go when it start.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2007, 02:35:00 pm »

Or you could use the password system from Metroid I for the old NES 8 bits like Zeromus/CDI did with his xLIB version of Metroid Pure (which was the prequel of Metroid II: Evolution), but it would be too complicated for nothing

Harrierfalcon · « **Reply #28 on:** October 30, 2007, 04:10:00 pm »

Agreed. I'll probably stick with the longer-loading time, because then you actually have to get to a save station after getting something to save.

EDIT: Metroid Pi just earned a 7/10 on ticalc.org. Apparently loading is slow and so is gameplay. Loading isn't IMO, but gameplay could be faster.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #29 on:** October 30, 2007, 06:07:00 pm »

Yeah I just saw, I was tempted to post a review but since someone did I will wait a week or so, but in summary it would have got 9 for graphics considering its pure basic, 8 for size since its small for a metroid, 9 for gameplay/control since its easy to use and fast, altough it lack a lot of features from Metroid, but storyline/lenght may be something like 3 because the game was extremly short (even more than Metroid Pure). Either than the story and small amount of features compared to Metroid II Evolution I still have the game grouped on my calc ready to play if I get bored of working on Metroid II Expansion
