Actually unfortunately it doesn't really work this way
, there was a whole process involved in causing Netham45 to be a lobster and this process is... well... I have no freaking clue what happened and how it started, really, lol

Back in update, I can't code as much as I used to since the college applications are due in... well in few weeks. But I have been working on the battle engine and such, so expect that within a week. (or at least i hope i can finish within a week
)

Okay. finally the screenshot that i promised.
THIS IS NOT THE FINAL STUFF!!!
The map of real game will be more 3D looking, like Illusiat 13. This was made to test.
The battle system is not set, too.
I'm thinking whether to include timer, for the real-time battle, but that would mean that it won't work on TI 83+.
If I do the turn-based battle, it will be compatible, but it would be very similar to every other BASIC RPGs...
I made the saved game loading faster, if you can compare with the last screenshot i posted.

Nice, that looks pretty fast. Are you actually using pictures to store maps? If so, you might want to check Illusiat 12 map loading code for the 3d-ish dungeon layouts. A suggestion, though: I wonder if using the character "8" wouldnt be better than Theta? It would look more like the head and body
(note: that will most likely land into featured rpgs section soon)

I am not using pics... The whole walking and stuff is in homescreen, using output for the fast map conversion.
I also use the matrix, hence I can use same tile, but they can have different effect, as you can see in "You are standing" sign. The space is empty, but the event is triggered. and i will consider using 8.

Looks nice. I like the look so far. Would both matricies and strings for each map make it a little big?

yeah, it does... 7 maps are 2924 bytes in program, and they don't even contain any of the special characters, which are 2 bytes instead of one.

As you can see by this link, not all non-special characters are one byte.
http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/one-byte-tokens
An example would be all lowercase letters or the
e
constant.
Good luck with TLM. It sure looks awesome!

Thanks. In the program, I only used Y and * for the map, so they are all one byte each^^

Dont forget " ".
I forgot to mention this earlier:
I would highly stress to not use the timer. Many people still have the 83+(se). You don't want these people to not be able to play TLM, right. Instead I'd do something like this:
:Value->A
:Repeat K="values that are valid key presses" or not(Ans
:getKey->K
:A-1->A
:End
This would let you have a real time like battle, but without using the timer.
Congrats on a featured RPG.

Yeah true, altough I have a Nspire now, I was kinda frustrated when a game did not work on the 83+ back then (or the SE) just due to one function
.
Plus if you're gonna have some sort of escape sequence like in Metroid games at the end, you should make the timer yourself. It shouldn't be that hard, since I did it in Illusiat 7. Not to spoil too much, but after the final battle you have 15 minutes to escape . The only problem with that is that the timer runs twice faster on the SE, but on the regular 83+ it's sort of accurate.
You can see it in action here at 2:05 into the video:
Reuben Quest 2 also had something like this
Back in the NES and SNES days, many games had timers running twice faster than normal, none were accurate, and people did not mind.
That said, you could always make a TI-84+ only version and a 83+ compatible one

Thats what i did with Portal
The timed boss levels were meant to be stressful (simple tasks become much harder under the pressure of time
) and so I implemented the timer before i realized it wasn't compatable with 83's.

@Builderboy: At my school, no one knows about the version with the timer. I still used an 83+ when I found it, so I downloaded the 83 version and gave it to everyone. I've never even plaied the version with timed levels.
Illusiat 7's timer looks great! It's cool that games can have a timer, but without using a timer.
@DJ: I see what you mean. You finished this amazing final dungeon and get a pic that turns black and two screens of text. That's a short ending.
