Are you planning to use this in the Spring Break or is it too late since I don't think you can talk about it.

Okay, I decided to put this together as promised in the batLib topic... This is an example making heavy use of the new commands in BatLib as well as the new map editor that I am using for Samocal. Since there are only 16 tiles in Samocal, the tiles are stored as nibbles to Str9.

To give an idea of how large one of the vars used in Samocal is, Str9 currently contains all of the sprite and tilemap data. That includes:
128x128 tilemap uses 8192 bytes
16 8x8 tiles use 128 bytes
4 player sprites use 32 bytes
19 16x16 monster sprites use 608 bytes

Luckily, those 8960 bytes can be archived, though :) Next I will probably add in 512 bytes for the 64 8x8 item sprites. Then I will make the text and item names reside in another var, too, that can be archived :)

Now I have to go adjust the walking engine x.x
...
...
And maybe make the outline to the battle engine?

So now after adjusting the walking engine and the talking routine, I have also started work on the battle engine. I am glad I made a backup of my work, too, because I decided to try to take apart Brie and I ended up clearing my RAM x.x I still need to resend the monster sprites and then I can make a simple battle engine. After that, I will begin work on items...  x.x So much stuffs... :D

Oh my god! That map editor is superb!

Also, why take apart Brie? I feel sorry for him/her.

Actually, I just rode the 20 miles to a public library, so I get to see it sooner! I have added monster sprites, names, items, using items from a scrolling menu thing, a battle engine, and various other things, but unfortunately, I didn't copy it to my flash drive before getting here x.x The good news is that you only need about 2000 bytes of RAM to run it, so far and the rest (including monster stories, item descriptions, tilemaps, sprites, et cetera) is stored in archive. I have been bouncing around from project to project, so I haven't gotten all that much done...

20 Miles to use the Internet? :w00t: Either way, great to see this is up and running :D

Once again, I have started to re-port this, this time to Grammer x.x I now have to write the battle engine and items, but otherwise, I do actually have an event thing programmed, talking to people, walking, scrolling maps, and soft saving finished (soft saving is just keeping information in a RAM var).

I plan to work on the BatLib version, too, but here is the screenie so far with Grammer :)

EDIT: Also, some of its features:
-You can use the number keys to reorient viewing area
-The maps are in 50x50 sections with a total of 200x200 tiles
-This runs in 6MHz, so this is the speed to expect on all calc models
-Your position in the map, direction you are facing, and viewing screen orientation are saved automatically, even if you exit by pressing [ON].
