I dont no what you mean by "wraps". But I'm doing it on graph screen for graphics reasons so I can't use output.

I'm sure you've used word-wrapping in Notepad or Microsoft Word. That's the effect of words jumping down to the next line instead of going outside the page's border.

Ah yes... familiar... class thats supposed to be four months... finished curiculum in one week... just wasn't familiar with term. I loved that class... after I finished the curiculum the teacher let my play games!!! Imagine... First period math... Second period online games. I love school... well no but i loved that class i accually hate school.

Program I wrote for help with map and sprite design:


Code:
ClrHome
ClrDraw
While 1
Input, "character 1", str1
Input, "character 2", str2
Draw(-1,20,20,str1
StorePic1
Draw(-1,20,20,str1
RecallPic1
Repeat getkey
end
end

Wanna see my sprite helper progs?
Code:
ClrHome
Input "CHARACTER?",Str1
ClrDraw
For(A,0,90,6
For(B,0,56,8
Text(-1,B,A,Str1
End
End
StorePic 1
ClrHome
Input "OTHER CHARACTER?",Str1
For(A,0,90,6
For(B,0,56,8
Text(-1,B,A,Str1
End
End
RecallPic 1
Or for whole screens:
Code:
Input "",Str1
Input "",Str2
Output(1,1,Sr1
Pause
Output(1,1,Str2
Pause
ClrHome
ClrDraw
For(A,1,8 {or 4}
Text(-1,8A-8,0,sub(Str1,16A-15,16
StorePic 1
Text(-1,8A-8,0,sub(Str2,16A-15,16
RecallPic 1
End
Or if you are very bored:
Code:
ClrDraw
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890{and all the symbols I can type on the calc but not here} -> Str1
Ans -> Str2
For(A,1,length(Str1
For(B,A+1,length(Str2
Text(-1,0,0,sub(Str1,A,1)," and ",sub(Str2,B,1
Text(-1,24,42,sub(Str1,A,1
StorePic 1
Text(-1,24,42,sub(Str2,B,1
RecallPic 1
Pause
End
End
And a crude character searcher with sprite already drawn in upper left:
Code:
{7,5 -> dim([J]
For(A,0,6
For(B,0,4
pxl-Test(A,B -> [J](A+1,B+1
End
End
"{the same long string of all char's} -> Str1
" -> Str2
For(A,1,length(Str1
" -> Str3
Text(-1,0,0,sub(Str1,A,1
For(B,0,6
For(C,0,4
If pxl-Test(B,C) and not([J](B+1,C+1
Str3+"NO -> Str3
End
End
If not(inString(Str3,"NO",1
Str2+sub(Str1,A,1 -> Str2
End
ClrHome
Output(1,1,Str2
But worst of all, I'm proud of those programs. Cool :biggrin:

Ok look at this:

It displays in center of screen.
Every cycle through movement it displays a picture of 7 rows of on pixles to each side. It also displays text one row above below to the right and to the left which you cannot see.
When you hit down it uses a four loop to text to x+distance to center of page in for(X,1,7) to the map.

Real scrolling graphics!!! Just as good as assembaly if I can figure out how to get the movement efficiant!!! If this has been done before tell me. If you don't understand think about it. If you want to use it put my name in the credits for this design. jk.

Sorry about the double post but I have a few problems.

The map is stored in a str which is 1 dimensional. It is stored in the following way:

Top row of graphics. Then second row. Then third row. etc.

Now here's the problem. I have a equation that selects the text to display at a extremely fast speed using sub( but what I don't have is a way to display both layers of map at a speed that isn't to slow. Without a text wrap command that displays it all "instantly" (the two layers can be one after another) I cannot do my scrolling system in last post (once again sorry about double post but the topic is unrelated)

Graphics update:
trees both use "^" on layer one so it tests for "^" and that will decide if you move. If I want a tree that you can move through (puzzle's :biggrin: ) I just flip the two layers. Fence: M's and W's. Anyone know how I can make it look like your moving down or uphill?

Edit: what should the cool sword name be?

You have caught up with me again it seems. I found no solution to the wrap/scroll problem, so I eliminated the option entirely.

"Legend of the Sword"
not too descriptive, but very mysterious...

the sword name depends on the feel of the game: asian? european? african? arabic? persian? babylonian?

The sword of spork will do. Thank's Weregoose. :biggrin:

Does anyone know if my scrolling idea (two rows above and below of blackness) will work?

Yeah Weregoose those are all awsome... but I have an idea!!!!

We have to come up with a name as small as possible that sounds good. My game is huge and any memory I can spare would be awsome.

Once again and most importantly. Will my scroll graphics system work. Not the part everyone uses the new one I made up.

While I'm on this is there anything I'll have to redesign in order to get the game to work (I refuse to not use two layers!!! That's what makes my game special!!! If i don't have two layers the entire movement/graphics/everything would fall apart.)

We have our first enemy almost done (graphics) and our combat graphics will be awsome. I have some really hard and fun puzzles designed. The game we have decided will be puzzle oriented. We hate grinding as much as anyone else and while we want combat we don't want you to win by sitting on a couch all day, we want you to think.
