They managed to do it on the Game boy, so it should be possible.

This site seems to have some good information on the game structure.

this looks rather nice.

why do you disable gray while displaying text? if you were to draw the speech window to both buffers and use dispgraphr you could keep it on all the time.

Actually wouldn't he only need to display it on the main buffer if he uses 3 level grayscale?

But can you draw text to both buffers? I've looked through the Axe documentation and I didn't think text->backbuffer was implemented.

Yeah I'm not sure if Text can even be displayed on the backbuffer. You can always use Copy, though.

You can't draw text to the back-buffer, but if you draw it to the buffer, then immediately copy it to the back-buffer it'll work.
Although, if you're using 3lvl grey, you shouldn't even need to copy it the back-buffer, as anything black on the main buffer will be drawn as black if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: Here is another good repository of info for Pokemon. The FAQ on the battle mechanics is tremendously helpful.

yeah, that is true, but I think the reason he's not using grey is because he doesn't use Pt-On to display his sprites, look in the 24x24 sprites topic for more info.  ;)

But I thought this was about when text is displayed when you interact with something on the map...

Actually I'm not that sure, but last time I was chatting with him on IRC, he said something about not being able to have greyscale pokemon sprites because he doesn't use Pt-On for sprite displaying... although he could still use copy...

I draw them this way:
Code: [Select]
[store pic info here]->pic1
0->X->Y
For(A,0,23
{A*3+Pic1}r->{A+Y*12+L6+X}r
{A*3+Pic1+2}->{A+Y*12+L6+X+2}
End
DispGraph
Repeat getKey
End
^^ instead of splitting them into 9 8*8 sprites

you dont have to split your 24*24 sprite into 9 8*8 sprites, so its less work and less time

I see.  Was your crash related to displaying the sprites?

Ooh I see now. Direct memory storage. Seems like a nice trick if you want to use large sprites. Is it slower or faster?
