Welcome to United Ti!
Ok, here goes:
One night I was thinking about games I could make instead of falling asleap. I remembered a computer game I had seen long ago. I decided it was a worthwile game to make, but with numerous changes.
That night I thought about how it would work, and what I wanted. Then next morning I started on code.
I made the menu systems first, and learned a lot from them. I also made the demo shown here in the first week or so.
I kinda lost intrest after making the demo, but in about a month I started this topic and posted the demo.
This drove me to recode everything I already had made, with help from my previous code.
Soon after I had everything working except the level editor. I worked really hard on the level editor, and it took me about a month and many, many hours. It eventually worked, with some really hard code.
Last was making the levels not shown in the demo, with the level editor. That took about a month.
Then I released it here, but I still need to write a read-me.
If you (or anyone) want to print/use the code, go ahead. The code for the playing of custom levels (#2 from the main menu) was taken from Darkerline's Donut Quest (My favorite Ti Basic game  ) so if you want to use that code ask him.
Above all, have fun!

| I'm not trying to steal your idea. I like it but don't have enough rom for it, and can't download it. You said it was all in basic, well I am just wondering how you got the character to stop on the right wall? |

What an informative and thoroughly helpful post. That seems to have cleared everything up.
On a related note, the way you can use pxlTest is to have it test for on pixels in the direction you are traveling, if you set up your walls correctly, and you test for the right pixel, you can tell when you are about to hit a wall, and then alter the velocity as you need. Pixeltest is usefull because of how fast it is compared to all the other ways for checking for collision, and can speed up your game/program quite a bit. |

3 step system for adding rom:
1: Decide you want Drifter
2: Have a Mem Clear
3: Place Drifter on Calc

I use matrices for collision detection in Drifter. PxlTest would have probably been better though... |

I know what pixel test is. I was just wondering if you could have the coordinates its supposed to pixel test in a single list.
Actually, I just thunk. XD.
Could you have the pixel test activate when your player is moving in a direction, like if your player was coordinate X Y, and its going right, have it check X, Y+1?

Thanks. I didn't see your post at first, but that really clears it up. XD |

| I actually made my own version. It uses a getkey loop for movement and tests pixel in the direction your moving. I have 2 levels done, and am making a third. |

| Nice. The harder part would be making all the different pieces work. However, the hardest part was the level editor. |

| Yeah I know the level editor problem. I have one which can turn on and off, but it might be confusing. I wanna make one where you have a line, and you can turn it and place it. I dunno. |
