Rivereye, My first RPG

yeah in basic maps size are quite a problem unless you store them in pics, but in pics they are limited

I agree with that. In my project right now, over half the memory is maps. I use a program that is archived for each map and then use FG (I will use xLib when it comes out) to run it. All the program does is define a matrix. Each one is about 500-1000 bytes.

true, the map size, there is also a matrix in the memory while this is going, but oh well

unfortunately we have to deal with this but at least the game can be worth it

I hope so, the next engine will be three rooms to do a moving from area to area. Look for this soon

I guess I am going to have to get a Z80 calc so I try these things out.

Any recommendations as to which one?

84+SE if you can

i say 83+ SE , atleast i think its better. anyways, my personal recommendation is a ti 83+. that way if u program it, u kno the slowest the prgm will go

true, I am doing this all on an 84+SE. The reason I recommended it is that it has the most memory of a calc that you can easily find

if only the 83+SE was still sold its compatible with all link cable and softwares

Yea..they're sweet. I have one.

Why'd they stop selling them.

because the 84+SE was identical to the 83+SE really. TI thought it was bad for competing calcs

not making the new calcs compatible with old serial cables was even worse

that too. Next step is to work on a menu option for the RPG, shouldn't take too much. Is there anyone testing this on an 83+ (not a silver or 84+)?

I tried the walking engine one on my 83+
