hia, been working with some new ideas lately.

got the grafx engine up a little again, perhaps a couple of fps

got the main game switched over to the linear style i talked about a couple months ago, im using a var to choose which map to draw then use the engine as its own loop, ive got it bogged down with eyecandy right now, like there is an npc on the second screen that moves about now, but if you come up next to him he stops, its kinda bloated but looks fun. yea, got the animated menu cursor and inverted menu implemented and seamless too, all for 11000 memory units! yea, its a microsoft cadillac sized peice but it looks pretty and its entirely in basic and one program like i promised

oh, by the way, what seems to be the best way to put out text? right now i have a


Code:
horiz
pause "text"
full


thing going on, but it gives some problems with the whole graphical look. has someone got a text box routine locked away in old files that wont kill speed?


did that uti programmers picture collage ever get off the ground?

quite a while back i posted the code to the game and it was moved to a new topic for all the overhauls to it, but i can no longer find the topic

There is no definitive text box routine, but they're crawling all around the place. It's just a matter of lines and text, and shouldn't take long at all to render, assuming everything else gets paused during the dialogue.

There are still about five days left to submit a photo for the collage. Review that first post if you'd like to send one in. :)

I have one that works well, has speed settings, and if you press a key, will display the text line by line. If you want, I can send it over to you.

Sure thing, code posted:


Code:
4->Y:[size=0]L[/size]PSU(17->D
1->C:2->W
While W=2
3->W
While W=3
getKey->K
If K:4->W
Text(X,Y,sub(Str0,C,1
For(A,0,D
End
C+1->C
Y+4->Y
If sub(Str0,C,1)="/
Then
C+1->C
X+6->X
4->Y
End
If sub(Str0,C,1)="+
Then
Repeat getKey
End
For(Z,4,20
Line(4,Z,90,Z,0
End
41->X
4->Y
C+1->C
1->D
End
If sub(Str0,C,1)="*
1->W
End
While W=4
inString(Str0,"/",C->I%
inString(Str0,"+",C)->PV
inString(Str0,"*",C)->[b]N[/b]
If I%<[b]N[/b] and I%>0:Then
If I%<PV:Then
I%-C+1->I%
Text(X,Y,sub(Str0,C,I%-1
C+I%->C
X+6->X
4->Y
End:End
If PV<I% or I%=0:Then
PV-C+1->PV
Text(X,Y,sub(Str0,C,PV-1
Repeat getKey
End
For(Z,4,20
Line(4,Z,90,Z,0
End
C+PV->C
41->X
4->Y
2->W
End
If sub(Str0,C,1)="*
1->W
End
End



D is a temp var that dictates speed, and is changed when a key is pressed during the displaying. In the string, use "/" to go to a new line, "+" to pause, and "* to exit the program. In order to exit, the last two characters of your string should look like this: "+*"

X and Y can be customized to your box settings. :)

IF you have anyother questions, I will try to address them when you ask here, or via pm.
