Slight problem I see with your AI (if I'm understanding it correctly):

OOOOOO
OXOBYO
OOOOOO

Anything like that (where X is you and Y is the AI, B is a wall and O are any number of empty spaces) would probably make Y vibrate back and forth with the tile to its right.

Honestly, Deep, I'm not too concerned. In fact the AI system that I spent all day coding is wrong, because it is based on the enemy moving one whole sprite at a time. But, that is not the case. So, it turns out I'll be needing help with this and the graphics system, because I really don't know how to do the latter. But, everything else is slowly getting done.

Not yet. The graphics will the the last thing done. Sorry. Anyone have some time to help out on some of it? I posted the program up on Google Docs. I'll pm the link to anyone interested.

Hehe i thought as such :).

Ive been known to dabble in z80 ASM over my time, is there anything in particular you need help with?

Rendering graphics in 3-level greyscale, including the initialization of the screen sprite data, and replacing the areas under an enemy and the player that moves (sprites are 8x8 and movement occurs 1 pxl at a time).

AI routines. I have an algorithm. Just need it coded.

Will this be a 15MHz calc only game by any chance?

When you say 'screen sprite data' are you talking about a tilemap?

The player and enemy redrawing issue can be rectified by using masked sprites, there are routines available on wikiti i believe that can do this.

I'm not sure about speed. I do know that I disable the delay when utilizing flash, and that this game is an app. And yes, I mean a tile map.

I was also thinking that maybe you can borrow some of the graphics from Duck's old Grayscale Zelda demo (made in 2003!):



The graphics and some code is available here: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/295/29519.html

That said the grayscale routines need an overhaul as they are severely outdated.

Yes I know. A friend of mine is working on sprites. I think the graphics, particularly the sprite-masking, is a bit over my head, so I would prefer to have someone who knows what they are doing to do it. I can probably do the AI myself if I put some thought to it.
