Many of you may have wondered why I haven't seemed to have been updating SSP, working on HP, or finishing up Tetris. Well, I wanted to wow people like Spencer and Jim e. So here is my big secret. I've been working on this for quite a while (December) and it is coming along very nicely. Done in 8-level grayscale (any fewer would look bad), this program will only be made for the 84+ and 84+ SE because it needs the speed and the clock. It looks SUPERB when you are moving, but PTI didn't like some of the interrupt things I was doing, so I took a still shot in VTI. It looks ok, but when you are moving, the objects become clearer and look really cool. Items work, clothes, headgear, all of that. The VTI build has fewer items since it doesn't have archive and all the data is stored in an archived program. The VTI version uses some of my favorite stuff stored in the program itself so I can show off some of the items. All that's left to do is program the NPCs to go about their daily lives and occasionally ask you to run an errand for them.
and the demo program so you can try it out yourself:

I would try this on an emulator first, because it... uh... looks better on a larger screen, is all.  |

I opened it up in Wordpad as soon as it was downloaded,
and knew right off the bat that something was screwy.  |

| Really? Well, quitting can be done from the interrupt, so you should be able to quit by hitting clear if you can't get it to work. |

I'm sure this is an April Fools' joke. That screenshot doesn't look tiled; it's either a stored image or a grayscale screenshot from the original Animal Crossing. Also, I too opened it up in WordPad, and most of the code is one long sequence repeated too many times to be genuine.
Sorry 3fg, you're going to have to come up with a better excuse for your lack of progress! |

Ha, that's the titlescreen repeated over and over.
It displays the titlescreen and then says ERR: OISHV and puts's from 0000 until you hit clear. |

| I'm wondering though, is a game with 3-d graphics using greyscale in that way possible? |

| I suppose I could get a good 2-3 fps if I did 4lvl gs on the interrupts and made 3 buffers for the layers. But I wouldn't want to. Jim e made a 3d grayscale program. It's cool too. |
