prgmHEROGAME
« on: March 15, 2009, 03:11:57 pm »
I am creating a basic RPG called herogame. It will use a "crossroads feature" which, after doing something in a general label, will goto lblCR and will redirect you to the town or place you were before you did this. It also uses LHERO and LSTAT, telling the place the hero is at and equipment and his stats. Any advice on parts of the game will be graciously accepted.
Then again, maybe not...

Sounds interesting but you shouldn't use gotos your going to run into a memory error very quickly.

Nice, and welcome here :). As Noah said I would recommend against Gotos/Lbl, unless you use a Goto outside a While/Repeat/For/If-End loop, to prevent memory leaks. A lot of my old games for the TI-83+ from back in 2001-2004 did and for some of the games, especially the oldest ones, when you play for about 30 minutes-1 hour in a row, when saving your game or shopping for items you end up with a ERR:MEMORY. Outside such loop there's no problem, though, altough if your game is very huge it might take a while to load when a Lbl is at the complete bottom of the game.

haha funny comic
what do you suggest in place of gotos and lbls that would work and have a crossroadish feature but no memory problems?

Might I suggest sub-programs.

Also look at the wiki as a whole it's a great resource.

oh, i could make a program for things like maps and info and stats screens, and then it would pop back in the same spot, and the map would set the variables for the town and i could put in prgmMAP:prgmCROSROAD to send to the town's program

Nope when a sub-program exits it fixes all the open ends and things like that.

True. The only way it can still cause leaks is if you run a sub program inside itself, a mistake I did in many of my old games. This is common when a Game Over occurs and we are lazy and decide to just run the main prgm again to go immediately to the title screen. Game also runs slower and slower with the time

Yeah with that one you can cheat and tell them to hit enter.

yeah i had played one like that before
it was a game where you took a turn and then went to the server program and then it calculated the turn and then you went to the game and so on
i was afraid of a memory leak so i edited it (basic) but noticed no changes' probably because there were only like 3 turns a game
