Looks great as always!

Any plans on what to do with that blank space at the bottom of the screen? I think it might be a good place to put a simple banner for the game--Banchor II by JamesV in some cool font or similar. I don't like that that space is just empty where everything else looks so detailed and polished.

Thanks!

There will be some buttons/labels across the bottom of the screen showing what the F1-F5 keys do, eg. on the stats rolling screen, F3 rerolls your stats

Once in-game, the whole screen is in use 🙂

I saw you got a good reroll in your screenie 😁

Developer luck 😉

Below is an updated copy, which now includes buttons to show what is available for F1-F5, and also I've added in the Modify screen where you can adjust stats up/down if you're inclined to do so.

I've added some of the item gfx in and started playing with inventory & controls.

Below you can see:
- Navigating around the party & inventory views
- Picking up and moving items around in the inventory view
- Item name colours are mostly white, but some will be different if they're magical/unique



There's currently no validation on swapping items, eg. you could put a sword in the "chest" slot, so I'll probably be working on this next

This looks super good! Character gen UI is really cool

I saw this recently and I was genuinely surprised that this existed. Any updates since 2024? 😁

Unfortunately not, but it has been on my mind a little bit lately, so I think it’s time to dig up the code again and work out where I was at with it

Hey JamesV, I have recently played Banchor and Alien breed on my TI 84 plus CE and they were both great 😁. Are you planning any new projects? (besides Banchor II 🙂

Also, how long has this been in progress?

Edit by Merth: Consolidated double post.

Banchor II has been on and off over 10 years - unfortunately no end in sight, but I haven't given up yet!

As for other project ideas, too many ideas although nothing solid. But since you asked, here are some of the ideas I've been throwing around for years:

• Clones of the old Atari 2600 games, Solaris and River Raid
  
• A CE version of my old game Invaded
  
• Golvellius, which I'd started here - it kind of got pushed aside for Banchor, but maybe one day I'll work some more on it
  
• A CE version of my clone of the Amiga Thunderbirds game - again, no progress for a long time
  
• Banchor III, which is intended to be a Diablo-style game
  
• I toyed with trying to write a SCUMM interpreter for the CE, to be able to import/run some of the early Lucasarts games such as Monkey Island
  
• Lemmings
  
• A handful of other 83/83+ monochrone games that I'd considered porting to the CE, such as Penguins, Crates 3D, and Lotus Turbo Challenge
