Thanks, Builderboy

Is each letter set to a specific timer or is it a random routine so it's different each time?

It's a specific timer.  I still need to fine tune some of them, though.

Not to be impatient or triple post or anything, but...*bump*

I don't think there are combinations for the second two. But the first one can be done by using "X" and "'."

Oh ok. I was just talking about Dual Layers.

Nice to see more progress. As for speed, my guess is that if it gets too slow, you may be forced to eliminate any non-Text()/recallpic display from the walking loop, even if it means the char is the same for all 4 directions. Just Pt-On/off is enough to slow down a basic game considerably

What kind of stuff did you end up removing? The GAME? (Sorry DJ, had to take your idea )

Well, the hit detection and room changing routines were put into their own subprograms, and are only called when needed.

Just for fun, I tried eliminating everything that had to do with sprite flipping, and the movement was considerably faster.  It had gotten so bad, you could see the individual characters for dual layers if you looked closely.

couple hundred bytes?  Wow thats a lot of data shaved off, just how much is left in the loop after that?

Well, there's the walking routine, the character display routine, and calls to the hit detection and room changing subprograms.

I just got a chance to look at the Key Puzzle and Title Screen.  They look wonderful!  How did you make the title screen letters like that?

Thanks. I just used a lot of line( commands.  I used a set height and width for each letter (expect for the beginning of each word), and it wasn't too hard.


Not that it means a lot, but I got everything I have up to this point working in conjunction.  So the only things I have left are storyline and battle system.  (and maybe a few minor things)
