I was just thinking of making a menu version of the sims, you would start out without a job, and no house, just some money. You would have to buy a house, a cheap one, and find a job, i was thinknig of like 8 different jobs. ranging from a cop, to a bus driver, to a burgler, and each one would have like 3 or 4 "raises, like from cop, to deputy, to sherrif, to privet I, or what not. Also there might be like 6 different houses. You would be able to buy, a better kitchen, a better bathroom, living room, bed room, etc., but only 8 or so different rooms. This would be run on the graph screen, so that way you would be able to see a running clock, that would be able to be set to three different speeds, money would be be sceen on the screen too, also the day , month, and year.
what else am i missing?, or is this a good idea?
alother thought was using pre built sprites to build the house, either using a matrix, or a list, a matrix being esasier, but i need a loading code, b/c mine arn't that fast ya all say. Also a opening menu screen. |

If it's sprites, just use some tempoary matrixes
dim(8,8->[A] ;This code may not be right, someone correct me if I'm wrong
//8x8 house
dim(8x8 or dim 16x16->[B] ;Store sprite data here, 01010101010...
//8x8 or 16x16 sprites
//draw sprite
for(a,1,16
for(b,1,16
if [B](a, =1
pxl-on(x,y
end
end |

sounds cool...
Assembly would be better, but Basic could work with some hard work... |

You can optimize that a bit.
//draw sprite
for(a,1,16
for(b,1,16
if [B](A,B
pxl-on(x,y
end
end
You could make the sprites load a lot faster by using something I call "jump" which I am using in my RPG Final Conflict to load the screens. The speedup depends on the sprite/screen, but usually it can make it load twice as fast, or greater. It works better in strings, in fact, thats the only way I've done it, but it could be done nearly as easily with matrixes. |

| er, can you explain this jump theory or give us some type of demo code? |

Tip: use a list (or string) and only store the relative coordinates of the pixels of the sprite.
{1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4->L1
For(X,1,Dim(L1),2
Pxl-on(L1(X+1),L1(X
End
Much faster and your sprites can be as big as you want (if you use pt-on(x,x+1) they can even be bigger than the screen). |

Quote: {1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4->L1
For(X,1,Dim(L1),2
Pxl-on(L1(X+1),L1(X
End
Umm... you lost me, i get the {1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4->L1 part
but, For(X,1,Dim(L1),2 huh?
and i would be using another prgm, with all the sprites in it kind like:
Prgm STILES
Code:
If A=1
Then
[code]
End
If A=2
Then
[code]
End
[more if A code]
Return
Code:
{1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4->L1
L1->A
For(X,1,9
If X=8 and C=90 // or what not
Then
9->X
End
If X=8
Then
0->X
0->B // or what not
C+10->C // Y cord, for 10 x 10 sprite, +16 if 16 x 16 sprite
End
B+10->B //the x cord., if it is a 10x 10 sprite +16 if 16x 16 sprite
A+1->A
End
thats some code for the sprite loader or what not, i bet it can be done better... |

My example should draw a diagonal line of 4 pixels.

cool, i would love help, i have a menu code, given to by THE CEO, at http://www.get-me.to/JACstudios
right now, i am planning out all the menus and what not, menus would be used mostly, for buying, etc.
If you wanted to make a map loader, drawer thingy and someone else make pics, that would be hte most help... |

This game would be fun, but if you are going to make it in BASIC then you should steer away from graphical and make it more of a menu-only type game. I don't know, that is just my personal opinion, but I think this has potential to be a very nice calc game.
The ninjas would love a "The Sims" game for their calculators. Please appease them. Please appease?
