cool let us know what you came up with. :)smile.gif 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.

sprites :Dbiggrin.gif 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.

:Dbiggrin.gif 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

:|neutral.gif oh well. I managed anyway.

 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 :Dbiggrin.gif 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?

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