Moved to Project Ideas/Start New Projects.
I like the idea of an RPG with people changing into demons, I hope it'll be dark and gritty and such, I like that too. |

Lunar Wolf Demon, check out the Edit button at the top of each of your posts, and then move everything into a single post please. This is a message board and not a chat room, so avoid making posts on whim; you have all the time you need to say what's on your mind in a clear and concise manner. I have a feeling that the rest of this place'll have to run around bonkers to keep up with you! :lol:

You may use that, or TI-Graph Link, to obtain the file in a PC-readable format for transfer between peers.

| Maybe you can show the piece of code that makes the screen flash? |

Although good graphical basic games are possible without those, it's not a good idea for a beginner.
Lunar Wolf Demon, if you have any programming problems (such as a flashing screen) don't hesitate to ask those in a new topic at the TI-Basic forum. |

Could you post a general introduction to the game (a little story on the game setting)?
From what kind of perspective do you want these sprites drawn? Top down? Birds-eye view? From the side? Turn-based battle sequence pose? |

This is a bit long as i tend to be very repetitve in basic but please bear with me.
8->X
1->Y
Lbl 9
Output (X,Y,"I"
Getkey->K
While K=0
Getkey->K
End
If K=26
Goto RT
Lbl RT
Clrhome
Output(X,Y,"I"
Y+1->Y
If Y<16
For(A,0,15)
Clrhome
Output(X,Y,"I"
Goto 9
End
Oh yeah,The sprites should be from the side because i want to give it a smooth Megaman Zero kind of sidescroller with shooting and constant jumping and attacking.Ialso need to find a way to make my sprites higly responsive to key presses.Just keep in mind that I cannot program aasmbly nor do i know what it is.

Although your program's a cool idea, the implementation thereof is really lacking. You should look at your code extremely well to determine what is needed (and, consequentially, what's not needed) to perform exactly what you're trying to do.
For instance,
Code:
If K=26
Goto RT
Lbl RT
All three of these lines can go.  I'm sure it'll make sense to you when you think about it.
If not, then later it surely will.
8) Continuing on...
Code:
Lbl 9
...
Goto 9
Whenever you have a [font="courier new"]Lbl and a [font="courier new"]Goto surrounding an entire block of code like that, it might be a good idea to use a [font="courier new"]Repeat there instead. Since it seems to go on forever without any conditions to put it at rest, you can do [font="courier new"]Repeat (until) [font="courier new"]1=0 for the exact same effect. (You'll learn later how [font="courier new"]Repeat 0 is identical to the previous argument.)
Now, for the flickering!
ClrHome may be fast and simple, but see if [font="courier new"]Output(x,y," ") might also be useful in your code.
Note: You can leave parentheses and most quotes "unclosed" at the end of each line...
Code:
Text(0,0,"Hello World")
Can become:
Code:
Text(0,0,"Hello World
It takes some time and patience to adapt to the language. However, if you want to be an expert TI-Basic programmer, you must always believe that there's a better way of doing things: On your quest for improvement, you'll suddenly find out how the language starts to adapt itself to you. :)
If you want a [s]highly efficient, optimized[/s] simple version of the code you submitted here, I've got one ready for you. 
...But first, we should know:
Do you want 1) the character to stay in place with everything scrolling past him, 2) the character to move freely until a certain distance is reached, whereupon the screen starts scrolling with each new step, or 3) the screen to stay "fixed" in place until the character moves out of its range, prompting the entire screen to shift over sixteen characters' width until utterly replaced by the next screen? :wacko:
Different wants require different programming.

I agree with taking out the "goto" of the label which is on the next line but for the "if" statements maybe he means to use "if...then" statements around some code blocks
but yes, dont use "lbl"s. theyre evil. |

The things in bold that I quoted from you appear to be the problem with the flickering; you put the clrHome in a for() statement to repeat 15 times. Like Supergoose said, using the Output(x,y,"_ statement would erase only the moving item and the rest of the screen wouldn't be erased.

a little optimization:
Code:
While K=0
Getkey->K
End
can be changed to:
Code:
Repeat Ans //loops until Ans (the keypress) is not 0
Getkey->K
End
It's a bit smaller.

| I would suggest you use xlib for rpgs (it is pretty simple and doesnt flicker, omni+xlib might not be a good idea for newwer programmers) as it doesnt flicker and is probably faster than what you are trying to do right now |

Um i need to move the character and keep the background still until he reaches the end of the screen.Anyway,thanks for the help everybody!I really appreciate it since i have a technology competiton in two days.
Supergoose,my initial idea was to keep the character moving until it reached the end of the screen and then make a new screen but i want to make a real graphical game with a graphical background so I'd pick #2 of your choices.
Quote: 2) the character to move freely until a certain distance is reached, whereupon the screen starts scrolling with each new step.

Okay... Can someone provide a link for a website that makes assembly programs for TI-84+.Any site will do.Thanks Again. :)My friend is borrowing my USB cable so I will upload it tomorrow afternoon.
