Game

[JesusFreak]

If you coming from the circus TI-83 forum then I Gave up my star craft game
I have a really kewl Harvest moon game but i need a few things
like a item list Ie.
Ax
Plow
Hammer

and when you select it it becames the action item (action button 2nd)
Should i like store it in A Ie.
Ax (1->A)
Plow (2->A)
Hammer (3->A)
(0 being nothing)

So that way when i press 2nd and A=1 then it uses the ax ?

How would i do a day/ season cycle (30 days/4 seasons)
and how would i set plant F1 (F1 for editing reasons so it is easier to prgm) to be harvested in 10 days
F2 14 days
F3 18 days
????


Also i have a auto harvest, when the plat is plated for x seconds it grows and is harvested

I have tool shop, food shop, and flower/ plant shop am i missing anything

[JesusFreak]

opps forgot is there a way to do a test to see if PrgmA is unarchived and if it is archived it
I can archived vars and pics etc. but not prgms and i don't know how to check if they are archived

any help is liked

thanks

Is it another one of those crappy text-based games?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Which is faster:

If U=4000 and A=C and B=D And T=0 or U=4040 and A=C and B=D And T=0 or U=4004 and A=C and B=D And T=0 or U=4404 and A=C and B=D And T=0 or U=4044 and A=C and B=D And T=0 or U=4444 and A=C and B=D And T=0
Then
(!!!!!action!!!!!)
End

or

If U=4000 and A=C and B=D And T=0
Then
(!!!!!action!!!!!)
End
If U=4040 and A=C and B=D And T=0
Then
(!!!!!action!!!!!)
End
(((etc.)))

Or is there a simpler way but U has to be 4000,4040, etc. not 4000 through 4444

any help is thanked

I don't know if this is faster but you could do:

[Arcane Wizard]

yugnhit's code is definetly faster, but don't forget to change a=4000 and a=4040 to u=4000 u=4040.

Oh, another question: How does the player see things in the game ? Since the original is 3rd person which requires a 3d engine, have you changed it to a bird's eye view or maybe changed it to a view from the side ?

[JesusFreak]

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually I think you could use this:

[CODE]If A=C and B=D And T=0
Then
If U=4000 or U=4040 or U=4004 or U=4404 or U=4044 or U=4444
Then
(!!!!!!!!action!!!!!!!!!!)
End
End

[JesusFreak]

first off, thanks spiderbyte, yugniht, and Arcane Wizard for the code but i have to kill it.

The code 4400 was sapost'a be for a tree on plot one, 4040 on plot two, 4004 plot three, 4440 one an two, 4044 two and three, 4404 one and three, 4444 all three (the code was for one set of plots (Plot is a single square where you can plant some thing fyi) which would be times three(so that i could save some variables)) But after finished the prgm today i realized that a set could only be all the same ie: all trees and flower 1 etc. and so now i am scraping and salvaging the prgm. i am using a vriable for each plot ie. A=4 three there, B=5 rock there, C=6 unplowed soil, etc.
if you got a better way (like not using a variable for each plot) i really need it (not really but if i could do 9 plots with a variable i could change the farming area to be 4 areas with 9 plots each which would be kewl)

[Adm.Wiggin]

for ur 9 plots, u could use 1 num, and use like, 1*100000000 to put 1 in the first plot, 2*10 to put 2 in the 8th plot... ect... just an idea...

EDIT

just realized that wont work, srry!

[JesusFreak]

thats kinda what i was thinking

dude (2 lines so not spaming)

To keep your player from running through walls (or the house) depending on how things are drawn, you could best use pixeltest(

47->A //player x pos
31->B //player y pos
0->C //horizontal direction to move
0->D //vertical direction to move
Repeat Q //loop until clear is pressed
getKey->K
If K:pixelOff(B,A //erase player
(K=26)-(K=24->C //calculate which way horizontally to move
(K=34)-(K=25->D //same for vertical movement
If Not(pixelTest(B+D,A+C //check if place to move to is free
Then //if it is free, move charcater
A+C->A
B+D->B
End
PixelOn(B,A //redraw character at new position
(k=45->Q
End

As for the plots, I'd use a list:
plot 1:
LHM(1) to LHM(6)
plot 2:
LHM(7) to LHM(12)
plot 3:
LHM(13) to LHM(1
etc.

Then you can also have different plants on a plot and it's quite easy to get the data from it (plot nr.*6+place on plot).

[JesusFreak]

[Arcane Wizard]

Exactly,

you just store the value's representing which kind of plants are in the plot in the list,

for example:

//1 are tomatoes
//2 are carrots
//3 are apples
//user chooses to plant some apples in plot 1
For(X,1,6 //loop until vacant spot has been found
If LHM(X=0:Then
3->X //store apples in free place
6->X //end loop
End
End

You could increase the number of plants per plot, add extra data like when they will be ready for harvesting (depends on how much water and fresh soil is added, decrease this value each time the player adds fertilizer or sprays with water), how good they have been treated (increase value each time player cares for this plant), etc.

[JesusFreak]

is there a limit to how many lists i can make with LHM(** (ie. 99, 123, 999

Lets say:
P=plant type
D=# of days to harvest
W=if 0 not watered if 1 is watered and the d-1 (in the game each time if is watered it takes a day off limit one) (how would i limit that?)
F=Fretilized (might take 2 days off so it is ready faster)
Z=is if the plot has a roc, tree, unplowed, plowed can i just do this,
{P,D,W,F,Z->LHM(1
and then can i bring each back but how? (or do i need to use LHM(1 for P LHM(2 for D ect.

[Arcane Wizard]

[JesusFreak]

Kewl i will do that now, when you atart a new game i should delete all of those so is there an easy way of deleting LHM1 through LHM99 or do i need to delete each one?

Any other ideas anyone?
