Because I am new to programming, and have many issues and questions, I am making this thread in the hopes that they will get answered. I will post programs I can't debug, and General questions.

Debuging:
Please help me make this work. I want it to display this image as a title screen until the user presses enter, but I keep getting a syntax error on it I have DoorCSE, and am using Token

Code:


General Questions:
How would I go about creating a game with a map using Token and Hex?
(Like a guide or a template)

It looks like you have a space between : and det( to me. I think you meant to do something like:
Code:
Note the space after the Pause.

I still get a syntax error. IS there another way to display the hex image up on the screen till enter is pressed?

The only thing I can think of that would cause a syntax error in this case is either trailing spaces on the ends of lines or typing det( out manually. Check to make sure that there are no spaces in any of your lines, and make sure that you're getting to det( through the menu that pops up when you press [2nd] [x⁻¹]MATRIX then right arrow to get to the MATH section.

As for a tilemap and sprites and such, you'd have to do that using xLIBC. I'm not entirely clear on how xLIBC handles them myself, although I've been trying to learn-- someone else could definitely explain that better.

Still getting it. Here is the exact code pasted from Token:

Code:

Also, this is the only part of the code, nothing before, nothing after.
Code:
shows as red if that means anything?

There's a space after every single one of those lines, and the det( line has three spaces after it. Delete those (except the one after the Pause) and it'll work fine.

The red's fine as well, it's just syntax highlighting to make the program easier to read.

Yep, that worked. Thanks Will continue to edit with questions and code
Question:
What size do I make my
Code:
to have it fill my entire calculator screen?

Pretty much, each pixel is a hex-decimal and your screen is about 320*240 pixels....

Or, you can use the xlibc commad that fills half the scrren with pixels of a certain color I ca't link to it right now, but it is in the Doors CS SDK.

You won't have enough memory to create a full-screen image out of hex. For a full-screen image, xLIBC offers two options:
1) An 80x60-pixel, 256-color image: http://dcs.cemetech.net/index.php/DCSE:BasicLibs:ManagePic#DisplayBGPic_.28TI-OS_Values.29
2) A 160x120-pixel, 32-color image: http://dcs.cemetech.net/index.php/DCSE:BasicLibs:ManagePic#DisplayBGPic32_.28TIOS_VALUES.2C_DCSE8.1.29

Token IDE's sprite/image editor includes the tools to create both of those. They're stored as AppVars.
