ah, lol

Well, I didn't see any replies, and it isn't exactly fun talking to one's self. Also doesn't look good for a single user to be posting on his own in a topic. But if you guys still want updates, I will be happy to provide them.

Oh, and yes, I was working on a star trek game at one point. I need to get around to finishing that. ^^

There is a beta of it if you want to play around with it. The borg can't fight back, but it is kind of fun to play around with. http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fi ... 40249.html

Once I get back to it, there are many things I need to do to make it much better.

Happy to report that the.. hmm, what to call it.. 'self walking engine?' bleh, basically, you feed it a list of directions and it makes the NPC and character move around on the map all by itself.

Basically,

if you happen to remember from Oct 08.

Anyways, it was implemented and tested this morning. Surprisingly, it isn't too horribly slow. I do have a few small issues to work out, mainly that when the npc walks around, he deletes the tiles ahead of him, which is what should happen.. except that he deletes the door. that being the case.. you kind of don't stop and enter oak's lab like you are supposed to, cause the door is gone XD And boy he can move on his own XD

I might have to make a screenshot of it just to show what I mean.

But I have come up with a quick solution and things should work out well enough.

lol one step closer

This shows off a better view of invisible boundaries. aka, not just walking into grass sets things off. =]

And no, the game is faster than the screenshot. I don't know why it is showing up that slow. =/

So, a great many things has happened since Feb of last year. Hopefully there is a user or two that still cares about this project here.

To just highlight some things Pokemon Purple now does:

-Completely all BASIC scrolling walking engine with moving NPCs
-NPC interaction
-Events system has been started
-Pokedex is fully implemented
-Pokemon Party system is mostly working, use of moves outside of battle not working
-Battle system has been started! Switching of pokemon is fully functioning, along with the RUN option. Item usage is still very much in progress
-Fight option displays Pokemon's current moves and how many PP each move has, nothing more yet.

I'll try to do more updates to here as I have them to post.

Small update:

Fixed error I had with Item system scrolling, variable was getting overwritten and causing issues.

Added some clean up code to the testing stuff, This way I don't have to worry about it while testing.

Actually, what the total size of the program please ?

by **tifreak8x** » 29 Sep 2011, 17:53

Right now, Pokemon is sitting somewhere between 110,000 and 115,000 bytes.

WOO! *throws a FREAKING PARTY man*

I finally found the issue. It seems, that in an unrelated bit of code, I was missing an End statement. What threw me was that the loop this missing End statement was in was still working. At least the thing is fixed now. :/

And for your viewing pleasure, testing out the party pokemon with ether and the result:

I think I already got those bits fixed, still amused me, so I thought I'd show it off.

so it doesn't stand on a TI-82? By the way, it's in BASIC right? If yes, what about the speed?

by **tifreak8x** » 10 Oct 2011, 04:10

rayquaza: No, this is built for the 83+SE, 84+ (for the moment, I'm not sure if the final product will fit yet

) and for the 84+SE. And yes, it's in like 98% BASIC

There are a few small ASM programs that help do things that BASIC can't do on its own. The speed is fairly quick for all that it has to do, though other people will no doubt have differing opinions on that particular subject
