Talk about effort! I'm sure the final gallery will have me blown away.  |

Thanks Weregoose, I hope it is impressive to a lot of people. :)
I completed #106 last night, hope to have another 15 done today. |

| It is, you are speeding through this. From what I've seen they are of really good quality too. Can't wait 'till the final gallery and then game. |

O_O Game...? Maybe sometime next year if I don't stop working on Pokemon to update Age of Darkness Revenge... hehe, but Pokemon seems to be a much more sought after game for the calc, so no plans on stopping as far as I am concerned. I do however, plan on having a bunch more maps for the next beta, buildings to be entered, a battle system in place, and possibly working; and maybe a store. :)
So, I have a long way to go before the next demo... I also have to finish up the items system, though I have the hard part of that done now...
And if progress keeps up like it has, I will have plenty of time to make a nice GUI for the sprite displayer, instead of the crappy one I thought I was gonna have to release with it.

Well, I have all 151 sprites done. Finally. I took a couple days off to see about getting my front page set up in xhtml strict, so I didn't get these done on Monday when I had planned. Oh well. They are done now. :)
I will start working on the sprite displayer later today, and should have that done and released by tommorrow at the latest. :)
Edit:
Completed the Sprite displayer for the Pokemon sprites, until it is available on ticalc and calcgames, I will post a link to the file on my server.

Playing around with code, I managed to get the sprite display down from approx 23 seconds to 16 seconds, on the normal 83+. I also saved 105 bytes just on one sprite.I am hoping to cut up to 10k off of the sprite data.
Also, since I last posted I have all the base data entered, plus exp curves, and will soon be starting in on adding the equations and the rest of the stat lists. |

| Well, I completed 25 sprite ops, and it cut off 35% of the original size. This should also decrease load time for the sprites, and will allow for more data to be put in, once I am done. Once complete, I will post the amounts of space I managed to save, and should have that done in the next week. |

| Okay, so just in case somebody asks me on the street: How do you get 151 pkmn on one calc? Any compression? |

all the sprite data is stored in hex, which is hardcoded into 6 programs. (25 pokemon sprites per program)
Right now though, I am compressing the hex a bit, by replacing 00000000 (one row of pixels, 32 pixels) with the character "G". This will save tons of space, since there are lots of blank rows for each sprite. And at the end all 0s are deleted since I have the sprite displayer run the length of the sprite, so there is no point in having it run through all the 0's. |

| [knowing nothing about pokemon] doesn't each pokemon include information other than sprites such as attack points or something [/knowing nothing about pokemon] |

| Yes, all the Base data for Pokemon is hardcoded into two programs, and once I get the equations put in, I can actually start having all the stats stored to lists as needed. We are guessing that the stat data will take roughly 26k of space, so I will only be able to have one list at a time unarchived to mess with stats. |

yes, 125-151 is stored in ZPM6. Crammed in is such a strong phrase...  |

Reading column headings FTW. (40k in 26k is still good)
This is your own BASIC storage method? That's pretty good results. Could you go farther with an assembly (un)packer? |

| I could, but I want to keep this as much BASIC as possible. The only other asm program I might use is one to allow linking, but beyond that, that is probably as good as it gets, unless I simply erase all the G's as well, so the sprites start at the top, but probably would not look as good because of placement. |
