if i cant find one me i think iwant to learn asm anyway
how well do u guys know asm

[ztrumpet]

Asm is hard to learn. I'd make the menus in basic.

[TI-newb]

Nice. 1%Leaning Asm.

btw Geekboy1011. im Modifying my WHOLE Menu Prgm. so thismight take a while. It will be like.. a freaken Real(whatever.. stuff here>> Except with
List1. like so far it is. {Xcoordinate,Ycoordinate,Clrscreen?,-words and number of characters here- ->L1.
I'l post it up when im done

[Eeems]

I don't know if anybody here so far could, but it would be really easy to do it with hex or sprites on a picture variable

[TI-newb]

Lolzerducks. So far im only done 4 lines of our prgm.

[geekboy1011]

yea mine says some ridiculous thing to
but i meant just the flame not the whole menu

[Eeems]

well, I'll see what I can do for an animated flame thing in 5 minutes on an emulator with Celtic III
EDIT: ok so here it is so far, I just need to replace the sprites with some flames
EDIT2: ok here are some quick flame like sprites
here is the code I used:

[TI-newb]

Here is the Almost finished Menu PRGM.
Strings are still the same. Uses Str1

Now the lists is differnet. {XCoordinate,YCoordinate,ClrDraw?(not done yet. just put 1 on.), Then the normal stuff>

The only thing that doesn't work. is the box boundarys.. (it looks pretty good without box boundary's though XD so it's pretty usable)

[geekboy1011]

this is what i gave been working on it takes the sprite located at the second down 8x8 sector on the screen and makes a trail like thing above it
note has been edited and is ot done or optimized at all!!!!!!!!!

[Eeems]

hmm, interesting, but really slow, I think you'd have better luck with sprites

[Eeems]

ok, excuse the doublepost but here is some progress I made. I made this on a 83+ but was making the screenshots on a 84+ SE so they ran really fast, but I adjusted the interrupt to slow it down for the second

[geekboy1011]

i like it how many sprites does it use

[Eeems]

um, hold on I'll check
it uses 7 sprites, here is the code I used

[ztrumpet]

Looks really nice Eeems.

[TI-newb]

I see the RunIndicator moving. But no flames T_T. Can u tell us if we need to like.. Change up L1. or something?

[Eeems]

yep, just input {1,x,y,logic->L1
I would use 0 for logic because it looks the best on a blank background

[TI-newb]

ooh. Not bad. but i don't know if this will work for a cursor.

You can't move this cursor untill it's like.. uhh Finished it's animation..

My plan for a cursor was supposed to be like.. a Sub Routine.

PrgmFlameCursor

X+1->X
If X>5:1->X //X will record which Sprite it is on. So everytime u run this prgm. it will change the Sprite. making an animation. It will start all over once it reaches the 5th animation.
*then ur Identity(5 stuff here..
If X=1
Sprite1
If X=2
Sprite 2.. Ect.

[Eeems]

that's easy to change, you can just put all the sprite data into a string and it will call the right sprite using the sub( command. It would grab the right sprite by checking a 'frame' var, which could be in the list as well
EDIT: now that I look closely I see that that is what you did as well....hmm oh yeah, I wouldn't do it with the

[TI-newb]

Okay. i have decided what i am going to do with my Menu.

Right now i have the options of, ClrDraw, Your Coordinates and im going to add if u want Boundarys on this menu.

*i have realized if you are making a title screen, you can make a cooler Boundary/or BOX around the Options..

@Geekboy1011, These functions should really really be helpful for your Title screen, You can put a pic(pic1 for example) and then insert my Menu Prgm, you then can say 'you don't want to ClrDraw' and then decide where you want the Options/menu. I will tell you when im done this. Right now im done everything except the Boundarys. *i can't quite get it to work*

Sorry if i didn't phrase earlier paragraph well.. if your confused, Ask me, and i will rephrase it *I am in a rush and i gotta go XD*

[TI-newb]

OKAY! Sorry for this Double Post. But this post is where my finished Menu that uses CelcticIII, is gonna be placed.

I have done the Menu, It has the options i wanted. *and the Boundarys work XDD using the Xlib function, Real(12.. i will post this Menu up when i have completed the Logic part of it.

This is how to use my menu. You place the words you want in ur options into Str1. then you place the data required into L1.. {Xcoordinate,Ycoordinate,*Logic*, *and here, you insert the amount of letters in each word.

*Logic/Option
0=Don't ClrDraw (Don't clear the graphscreen)
1=Normal
2=No Boundarys (the box that makes up ur menu is the boundary)
3=Don't ClrDraw and No Boundarys (This is used if you have a preset Menu layout that u wanna use)

EDIT: OH YA! It returns what option u have, with Variable E

BTW!! I love Option 2, When u have option 2 it really looks like a DOS Style menu!!

Try this for Example:
"STARTCREDITOPTIONSAVEINSTRUCTIONSQUIT->Str1
{1,1,2,5,6,6,4,12,4->L1

It looks pretty cool XD.
Play around with this prgm if u want *and u can tweak it up.. just credit me for making the original..*

Things that won't work: (i will keep adding on this list if i find anything more)
If you have the X coordinate as 1. The Boundary's won't come out.(Come out meaning.. Show)

I don't know. But if it does anything u don't want. Not my fault XDDD!
