;.; I am starting to confuse both myself too ;.;

2 years ago, everyone called Omnicalc Omnimaga and Omnimaga Omnicalc

wow really looks nice!

Thanks everyone!
Sorry for the long wait in updates on my progress... I have a lot going on in life at the moment.

I have a bit of progress so far.
I'm optimizing the HUD for the game. (making it prettier and faster)
I plan on making a more fancy menu than the Menu( function too... I decided that I don't care about the space difference on that part.
Also, designing maps and getting my battle system ready for a major graphical upgrade.

You can also help out by checking the Ideas and Help topic.
I'll be posting some more things I could use your opinion on there.

this is getting promising more and more. (>^.^)>

Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm having an issue...

The first time I hit "Back" while in a shop... the screen is blank until I move.
As you can see in the image.
But after the first time, it works fine.

I can't for the life of me see how it won't work right that first time.
I'm thinking it's an xLIB glitch in the LCD thing... but I can't work around it for some reason.

Also, as you can see, I've moved to an 8x8 windowed map that will have dynamic character information in that side box.
It's going much faster now too because of it. =D
(Excuse the seeming slowness in movement, I'm slow at clicking the arrows... @_@)

mhmm good question, are you sure you are updating the LCD the first time you hit back? Maybe you should post the code

I wonder if with smaller maps (8x8) scrolling would be doable since it's faster?

{AP} · « **Reply #21 on:** November 06, 2008, 07:50:43 am »

Well, I don't see how it's just going through the EXACT same code and the first time through there's an issue.
All I'm doing is recalling a pic then it goes back to it's normal cycling through the movement/map updating routine.
(I use a pic of the store right when you hit enter before the menu comes up. Then I recall it to get rid of the menu since [due to placement of the menu] it's be harder and take more code to draw over it.)

Here's another mystery. If I go to the Stats screen before going to the store, afterwards the store works like it's supposed to on the first visit.
Though, I have to visit it each time I start the program up before I visit the store.
This is even MORE strange due to the fact that the Stats screen is nothing but the Line( and Text( functions.

So, I have no idea what's going on.

(EDIT: Scrolling IS in fact much faster and it's just as easily doable. The reason? I don't use the scroll xLIB function. My movement system involves reloading the map and character repeatedly. Which, surprisingly, takes no time at all and is a much faster method. I'll post some xLIB code snippets and such in another topic later. I've come up with some cool things using xLIB. ;P)

oh when I did the tilemapper for my cancelled scrolling grayscale tilemap engine I only used real(2 as well. I think it's the fastest way because else you need to check if it's the bottom of the screen that needs to be display or if it's the top, left, right and it takes more space.

for the shop problem, are you sure you do a ClrDraw:Dispgraph:Real(0 at the program launch? Sometimes omiting the first part, especially the Dispgraph, will cause some problems. It's a bug with ever single ASM utilities for BASIC programmers involving graph screen display, except Omnicalc.

{AP} · « **Reply #23 on:** November 06, 2008, 05:15:39 pm »

I actually fixed the issue another way... but what's Dispgraph?
I've never seen it before.

How I did it is I just have it draw a 2 pixel long line and clear it at the beginning of the shop program.
Somehow... it works. O.o

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #24 on:** November 06, 2008, 08:05:20 pm »

dispgraph kinda forces the calc to display the graph screen. Disphome display the home screen. It's under PRGM/I/O I think

Silver Shadow · « **Reply #25 on:** November 07, 2008, 11:21:28 am »

That way, you won't have to draw that "2 pixel long" line anymore...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #26 on:** November 07, 2008, 06:52:51 pm »

i still remember the days before I found out about what DispHome does, I used to do Output(1,1,"" to switch to home screen without erasing anything. Same thing used to get rid of the "Done" message when quitting programs

what size are the enemy graphics?

{AP} · « **Reply #28 on:** November 09, 2008, 10:40:28 pm »

The characters and enemies will be 16x16.
But... you're helping?
Unexpected, but highly welcome! =D

You can PM me more more details of what's needed, if you want. =P

...I can whip up 16X16 with ease
