cool let us know what you came up with. :) are you working on other stuff as well btw?

 Im fixing my Sudoku solver, and working on the faster pure Basic tilemapper in history, plus a couple other helpful RPG routines to use in version 2 of my no-lib maps and sprites tutorial.

oooooh I c, sound promising, is the tilemapper the ASCII one that you were working on or a pure basic sprite one?

sprites :D I can fit a 4200 tile map in under 4300 bytes. If I go for a much higher sprite limit then I currently have, it may take as much as 8500 bytes (depending on how many sprites are needed, and how many of those are in the upper range of the numbering scheme).

hah, like you wouldn't believe. remember my fast sprite routine? combine that with a tilemapper that can cache up to 10 screens of recent data.

:| bad news, I had a RAM reset. fortunately I have a 4 hour car trip tomorrow and a couple of ideas to speed stuff up even more.

Post by: elfprince13 on August 11, 2006, 02:18:00 pm

:D and its no been fixed and is incredibly fast for pure Basic. under 5ish seconds to load a screen the first time. It caches the last ten screens you've visited, so if you go back somewhere you've been before, the loading time is under a second.

In the mean time I discovered several annoying quirks of TI-Basic.

this is not allowed:
c1-->

CODE

ec1Pic1->Pic3c2

ec2

nor is this:
c1

-->

CODE

ec1 1->A RecallPic A c2

ec2

:| oh well. I managed anyway.

Wow amazing! Can't wait to see a demo :D Yeah,the TI-OS recall pic commands are very limited :( unless you use xlib...  :rainbowdevil:

 unfortunately, Im away from any connection software for a week. of course using xlib defeats the purpose of this program....

and as I said before, the program is a little bigger, but its still fast and most of the added size is in non-speed critical areas.

I meant it as a joke :D I still can't believe your getting that kind of speed out of this,is it on a 83+ normal,or SE? And how does the mapper work,via lists,matrixes?

Post by: kalan_vod on August 13, 2006, 09:49:00 am

So, the 10 screens of recent data is the 10 TIOS pics? Sounds like a smart idea, I hope to see more of this!

Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: elfprince13 on August 17, 2006, 06:31:00 am croquet is done. the tile mapper is done. Between is almost done. Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: elfprince13 on September 10, 2006, 02:26:00 pm lol forgot about this, here's how it works Str1 stores the map, length(Str1) must be a multiple of 60.  R is the number rows of screens you have, C is the number of columns of screens you have, in other words, R*C*60 must equal length(Str1) prgmADVSPRTE draws the sprite number stored in Ans, if Ans is not a valid sprite number nothing happens. It should be replaced with your own sprite drawing routine which takes the X and Y coordinates in X and Y and Ans as the sprite number to draw, however I recommened modeling this routine after the way it is setup in the current prgmADVSPRTE. prgmADVRDW selects the tile to draw at sub(Str1,X,1) based on the index of the token at sub(Str1,X,1) in Str2. This means Str1 mus consist entirely of characters in Str2. http://rancidmoose.unitedti.org/members/software/ticalc/map.zip oh yeah, and prgmADVMAP itself is where the key detection goes, so thats where you should insert anyother sorts of key detection you want Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 10, 2006, 03:17:00 pm cool I have to go now so I'll prbly check tomorrow Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 11, 2006, 02:32:00 am hmm i dont quite understand how to use it could u provide an example map? Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: elfprince13 on September 11, 2006, 03:00:00 am here's how it works, the maps are stored as giant strings of tokens in Str1. Each screen is displayed 10 length by 6 high group of tiles along with the bordering tiles around it. This means the map must have a length that is a multiple of 60. R and C determine how the string is wrapped. for example if you have Str1 that is of length 4200, and R is 10 and C is 7, then Str1 will be wrapped into a map that is 60 tiles long and 70 tiles high. Next, when displaying the map, The index of the current tile in Str2 determines which tile prgmADVRDRW  will ask prgmADVSPRTE to display Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 11, 2006, 03:18:00 am lol could you make the map for me? I think anyone who release an editor should provide examples. This week I'll prbly not have the time to make my own map >.< and I dont have motivation to make one anyway, I guess I'm too lazy ._. Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: elfprince13 on September 11, 2006, 09:00:00 am this isn't really an editor, but if you want a sample map run the following code: QuoteBegin-"prgmMAPGEN"+--> QUOTE ("prgmMAPGEN") :Prompt R,C :" ->Str1 :"123456->Str2 :For(I,1,RC60 :Str1+sub(Str2,randint(1,6),1->Str1 :Disp int(IE2/(RC60 Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 12, 2006, 01:41:00 am sound cool, those sprites would be good for a strategy/war game i think as well ^^ Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: elfprince13 on September 12, 2006, 06:05:00 am that was http://www.answers.com/topic/strategic-conquest <--(look at the version 3.0 screenshot) Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: kalan_vod on September 12, 2006, 07:58:00 pm I saw the SS on RS I believe, and it looks GREAT!

Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: elfprince13 on September 13, 2006, 02:53:00 am I am in fact planning to make it, its easily feasible since the Strategic Conquest 3.0 map is only 60*80 tiles and it only requires the following sprites: battleship carrier destroyer transport submarine tank fighter bomber city land water all of which can be ripped directly from the game :D Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: Liazon on September 13, 2006, 10:31:00 am *Liazon Title: pure basic tile mapper Post by: kalan_vod on September 13, 2006, 11:29:00 am From RS, sorry if you didn't want it here..
