The only problem I can see with that, is how to put the quest in the original code or run different programs without using specific names. Unless... Maybe if we named all special quests the same, and they just replaced each other, and when you beat one, the program will check if you have and tell you so. That way, it could run as an outside program or something. I'm not really sure. Just tossing up first thing that comes to mind.
That and for now, why don't we use this forum to iron out the specific parts of the games you want to work on first andre. Even if people don't want to help program, they still might have brain waves that we can use to program things.

| I don't see why we couldn't have a really modular engine. Nor why they'd have to have the same name. ASM/Axe is much more flexible than that. Honestly, we can do almost anything, we just have to make sure we have enough memory and it's fast enough. |

| Difficult project, requires significant amount of programming experience. |

| And that. The more complicated we make this, the better the programmers we'll have to have. So add programmer ability to that list. |

ye maybe quests or so are too difficult to implement. But I was thinking more of weapons, armor, items, or monsters/bosses. |

| Aah! Finally the exams are over! Just got one more test and I'm free to go. That means I'm much more available now for the project. I'll be posting a map and some quest ideas in a while. |

| Well I'm still in, unless we definitely do it in axe. My experience with axe is negligible, but i'm good at basic. Bosses and stuff would be easier, because(imagining in basic) We would just have to send new lists and such to the calc, with the name, power,defense, etc. And lists for sprites if we were using plot sprites. |

Bhaliar: so ASM is fine for you? This is rhetorical, but realize that ASM might still be the language. Integration w/Axe may also work.
BASIC would be an interesting choice, though. I'd support it, but I don't know if it can do all that we want it to without a whole lotta help from Axe/ASM |

Unfortunately, I'm still learning assembly. If we do it in axe, I could study up.And Like I said, Basic could handle it if done properly. We could have maps stored in matrices or lists. Would probably be ascii like though. It really depends on what andre decides he wants to do with it. XD |

I could help with creative or programming anything really.. |

as for implementing the updates...
I see the only way would be what was said earlier..
a subprogram that holds string and list information
strings would hold the weapons/armor/potion/etc. names
lists would hold other info regarding where the name in each string is located and end point
attack def or strength stats additions to health... how much a potion heals etc. of each item would also be in the lists |

Well, we would use strings to do the names, and lists for the stats like def and damage of weapons and such. They would just be added to the calculator and over write the old ones. Or get added to the store, etc. |

exactly as I had said lol
but ya i see that as the best way for updates
subprograms that people would download to replace the old |

Like I said, this is from a basic stand point. If we were doing it like that, i would be glad to help. But I don't know, so if he doesn't eventually respond, im just not going to bother. |

It would be fine in basic truthfully...
It wouldn't be so graphical but more graphics = more space anyways
Besides it can be text based and still be fun as hell |

I agree. I made a text based game where there was a three pane town. Each pane had it's own building to sell different things. There was also a field where you went to battle monsters. I stopped because the battle engine was glitched, and I could never figure out why.Though, I think the town's could be like pokemon, where its half birds view, half front view, and the battle should be a side view. it would make monsters much easier to display on screen. And when you attack with different weapons, it could be like a turn based, where it tries to attack back. I just had an idea that I wished I had implemented into my games. if the attack does 0 damage, instead of missing, your guy pulls out a shield. hmmmm. I might actually use that. XD |

| You guys can always use X-lib for graphics and BASIC for the programming. |

| I likely won't be helpful from a programming standpoint if this will be in anything more complicated than xLib (and Axe/ASM is likely the way to go here); however, I would be happy to sign on with the Creative Division and help out with design. |
