Some people may remember an RPG I started about a year ago that I trashed. I learned more BASIC so now I picked it back up. PyrosRPG (Tentative Title) is an RPG (big surprise <_<
) for the 83+ calc series (though it is agonizingly slow on 83+/SEs. 84+ recommended.) Screenie:
ASCII Invasion! :Oo:
:gah:
Anyway, I'm finishing the maps now. As soon as I get the houses/shops working I will try to get a demo out.
Remember: This is my first shot at a TI-RPG, so I can't guarantee it will be memory-friendly/the best thing ever/good. I might ask for help a lot.
Comments?

Kirby for president! ^_^
Using ASCII is a good approach to RPG programming. Looks nice! An animated screenshot would have given a more realistic impression of how the game plays, but take your time. Is there going to be a storyline? What items will be available? Is there a feature unique or original to this game that spices things up a tad? Questions, questions...
Anyways, I am getting a towel now, since I need to clean up the floor I drooled upon reading yer post and due to the fact that I need to point my thumb up to the skies and follow Arthur Dent's course.
Damn. I forgot to get a nutrition-corner uprade for my towel. Well, more expenses for snacks then. :D

Here's the thing...I don't know how to make one :paf:
Yes, there will be a storyline:
The kingdoms of Pyros (yours) and Orruv are constantly at war. Before the game begins, they were about to destroy themselves. They made peace (I don't feel like explaining) and it has been so for 14 years. Now an army of monsters is invading Pyros (Orruv says it's not their fault as they are being attacked too) and are slowly engulfing the land. You must...blah blah blah.
(Very) Incomplete Item List:
Bombs (always fun, right?)
3 different swords
2 different shields
Healing Potion
Wow, 5 () comments o.o

Looks cool. B)
Also, it's agonizingly slow on the TI-83+ and TI-83+ Silver Edition?. I would think that it would be faster on a TI-83+ Silver Edition. Also, it's not agonizingly slow on the TI-84+ though? I thought the TI-83+ SE ran as fast as the TI-84+. o.o

I'm also working on an RPG right now :knight:
(No one knows what it is except xlibman. And no one gets to know till I get some screenies and engines up!)

Whoops. I meant that it was faster on 84s than 83+SEs.
Yes, I am using RPGSK for the engine.
Also, can someone show me the code for going inside/outside houses? I can go inside, but exiting is where I get trouble.
c1
| CODE |
| ec1If sub(Str1,T,1)="H" Then If K=25 Then T+16->A Q+1->B P->C 1->H 8->P 12->T 8->Q End Blah blah c2 |
ec2
H is the house data (1 is inside, 0 is outside), ABC are storing where the character was before entering to appear in the same place, and people who have used RPGSK should be familier with the rest. Can anyone fix up the code or tell me what to do?

basically when entering do {A,B,C->L1 (or any other list then when exiting do
L1(1->A
L1(2->B
L1(3->C

It worked somewhat. You changed it to a domain error :thumbup:

understand? This is basically what I am doing for Pokemon Purple, and it is using a modified version of the RPGSK.
Also, the 83+SE runs faster than both the 84+ and 84+SE, from what I have heard, since it doesn't run basic at full speed, and it also has a clock to contend with... Pokemon purple, for being as big as it is, and what not, runs pretty darned fast on the SE, and ok on the normal 83+...

Anyway, I am getting a bunch of questions about gameplay, so I'll try to get out a mini-demo just to show how the game will play.

I've also got the battle program and the game program communicating OK. Battles aren't done yet, so for my demo you will just get a pop-up that says "This is where a battle would be."
The demo is almost done. Just a warning: It will be really really really (really^13)^9 small.
