100 for Y acceleration? O.O
I'm using 12 for gravity...…
Yeah, butts I think you probably meant 10 or something. 100 is way too fast.

Yeah, you're prolly right.

I'm using acceleration of acceleration :P
Isn't that called jerk?
Then... If accel/time = jerk, then what is jerk/time...
And whats jerk/time/time
And whats jerk/time/time/time O.O

Sorry to be a super n00b, but what does >> mean? For example: X>>12. Also, I've never understood for loops, what are the 3 arguments?
> works on only positive numbers.
>> works on positive and negative numbers. ;)

in a for( loop, the 3 arguments are: first, the variable. second, the starting value of the variable, and third, the ending value of the variable.
for example:
Code: [Select]
:For(A,0,3) //loops through 4 times
:Disp A>Dec //displays the value of A (see how it changes?)
:End


Thank you SO much. I see now. Just one more question: How do people put huge graphics like 25x40 in their main screens? Like the logo and such. I only know how to do 8x8

Also with 1.1 you can do for( loops with only 1 argument ;)

You can put together 8x8 to make 16x16 and such

For full screens, you can import a pic var and use it by doing
[Pic5]->Pic5 ; if you store a background, absorb it like this
Copy(Pic5,L6,768) ; copies pic to buffer

They could use a whole bunch of 8x8 sprites, which is useful when you have a relatively small area that needs to be displayed

They could also be using the bigmap() command, which is like the sprite command but is a bit slower and can display 'sprites' of any size

Or They could be importing a picture directly [Pic1]->GDB0 and copying it to the buffer.

Bigmap? :P

For my menus, I draw them on Paint, save as 96x64 monochrome bitmap, then upload to calc via Ti connect's screen capture thingy.

He means Bitmaps. :P  Typo fail.

Check out the commands list that is in the folder you downloaded Axe in, and look for the "Bitmap" command.  It's pretty useful for 25*40 sized graphics.

I need to check out bitmaps. I've never used them but I'll need that size for my floating... Creature... Demon... Thing :P

Edit: Wait... So what do I put for the third argument?

The pointer to the bitmap.  It's like the third argument for regular sprites, only it's formatted a little differently.

Try this (or something like it):
Code: [Select]
: [0203 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 0000000000000000 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FF818181818181FF FF818181818181FF FF818181818181FF]->Pic1
: ClrDraw
: Bitmap(10,20,Pic1)
: DispGraph
: Pause 1000
