Yeah there is a lot of calls to real( hehe. That said, you can still use TIOS vars and BASIC code, just some functions require you to store the results in xLIB uservars first. But i might change this so that it can be the same as old xLIB as well.

You mean tiles high?

You can draw a map from 1x1 tiles to 20x15 tiles (fullscreen) at any position on the screen. The tilemap command takes:

XSTART,YSTART,XEND,YEND

Which is how you specify what size and where to draw the map.

For a 16 pixel high HUD at the bottom of the screen you can set it to: 0,0,19,12

If that makes sense?

Yep ill mod the example to demonstrate when i get home .

Wha, that tilemap is looking awesome!
It is actually faster than reuben quest (the non-axe of course)

It looks soooooo good will you make an ASM lib out of XLib functions ?

EDIT : 1000th post !

EDIT 2 : does my sig fit the rules like this ?

Well xLIB by itself will be an ASM lib for BASIC programmers. Actual libs made using xLIB+BASIC would be kinda inneficient, although I guess if people creates map engines or menus, they could post them on ticalc.org for other programmers.

On a side note, by low color and screen inversion routines that are built-in the calculator, this is what I meant. On a real calc it doesn't look too flashy at least:



The low color mode alone could be used for certain magic animations that requires intense colors, while the other, perhaps combined with the low color mode, could be used for lightning bolt spells, for example.

yeah i can enable 8-colour mode easily enough, its just a few lines of code.

Can make for some crazy stuff lol.
