I can work on the inventory and crafting system, maybe we could use L2 for the inventory : two bytes per item (so 250 items, should be enough) storing the number of items the player owns.

Shouldn't one byte be enough if you have a header to tell at which position each item is at in L2?

Yep, but with one byte you can only have 256 times the same item, it can be a bit short.

Here guys, I compiled all the recipes for you. This is pulled from the source code so it should all be right.

Great! Added.

About the platform, in the old poll you (plural) clearly voted for Axe, so it is 83+

Since noone has said anythingdifferent, and we' re already talking about implementation details, I'll assume that everyone agrees with my level size. (or do you have a better idea?)

Blue Raven · « **Reply #21 on:** January 06, 2012, 04:41:05 am »

What is your idea for levels ? Maybe you could add it in your first post.

this is gonna be huge ti seems, good luck withh it, i hope this all comes to a nice end

Ok, it seems to be a nice system, but it will be hard to load 32x32 maps in RAM, so will there be separate areas with a loading time between ?
And are you ok that I work on inventory and crafting ?

yrinfish · « **Reply #25 on:** January 06, 2012, 05:06:55 am »

Great that you want to do that!!
(I' m working on the map question)

Well even the real Pokemon Yellow game works that way (I don't know the dimensions of the areas though) and it is not disturbing at all. We'll just need a little Copy

But will the maps be random or procedural or defined ?
I'd say defined and (I'll explain badly

) in the ROM so it takes less space. Only the area you are in is in RAM, so it can be modified (like when you cut a tree). And when you move on another area, the new one comes in RAM, so when you get out of an are then come back immediatly, every tree is back $:-\$ but everything else seems good to me

edit
Here is a mod were you can fly (so we can see the whole map).
And here we can download the real source, with greyscale sprites in it

Actually, you could transfer the map in RAM to an appvar in archive, so changes would be persistent. Keep in mind that we also need to save object data as well (furnaces, workbench, etc.)

Yes but first archiving a huge map is slow

but also, when you want to make a new game, you can only play on the edited map (except if the game recreates it but then the executable will be huge). This is why I thought of an archived and non permanently editable map

I personally don't see any problems with it - in fact, it's pretty much required for the game to work at all. To regenerate maps all you have to do is overwrite the existing appears anyways, since none of the data is stored within the program anyways (except maybe the current map to a buffer)
