As of yesterday the main menu graphics layout was completed from the checklist. Game create/load abilities should be done after another day or so. Since this is a rain weekend coming up, I want to pull an all-dayer and hopefully get everything up to Paste/Undo completed.

The real good news is the sprite drawer worked...showing that the tilemapper should be portable as well.

In the TI-82 code, I want to add the high-jumping feature (where you can jump off fences, rocks, or trees to gain extra hight. And the JET Fortress boss needs starting. A partial list of other stuff to do this week...

- Add "low memory" detection & error message for file select
- Finish "Delete!" "New!" "Load!" "Copy!" and "Config!" support. (Paste and Undo will take longer)
- Port the tilemapper
- Add BrandNewGame: label (favorite color / favorite food selection)
- Get DeleteAppVar to clear the temp file
- Finish the crane rooms

I've recently decided to cut "Undo!" support from the file select menu for a couple reasons. Mainly, I think it was complicating the menu code beyond what it needed to be. Most players would only have used it once or twice after all.

Second, I was concerned it would create a false sense of safety. The plan was to make action "undoable" until you leave the menu. If anyone misunderstood this limit, it would definately lead to a lost game eventually. Instead, it will ask for confirmation during all deletes and copy-pastes.

"Paste!" and "Config!" can handle archived games as well, but they will not put it back afterward by default. The readme will suggest leaving saved stuff unarchived as much as possible. Hopefully, all of file select will be out of the way by the end of this week.

New copy/paste & delete operations this week. Unarchiving and re-archiving is automatic for this stuff.

I almost feel like the file selection screen needs another gear in that blank white space on the left. The first 3 or 4 times I've looked at it, I saw the white space instead of the gear (I think because it's broken up by the names of the save files)

Oh yeah. Kinda like that "two faces or a vase" thing. At one point, I had a scrolling background behind the gear just like the one the 82 version has. After seeing it, I thought the screen looked too busy for a load/edit interface. (Still have screenshots if anyone's interested).

Clearly a spinning gear is the solution

try this as the background for your file operations, possibly with a really slow rotation speed like Spencer suggested.

That's incredible, how long did it take to figure out?

It draws lines between two different circles with fluctuating radii, using the idea that the sign of x can be computed by the hyperbolic tangent of n times x (for sufficiently large n); the lines are made less rigid with smaller values, as can be seen in the outer circle (the A circle, if you're dissecting the code). Basically, add to radius, subtract from radius, repeat. I'm done derailing the topic now.

Heh heh. Who woulda thought we'd see the title gear in Basic? :D

- The tilemapper tmap20 was successfully ported today. There seems to be a decompression roadblock, but if it worked for the titlescreen it can work for maps. Since the tilemapper was the last of the "difficult" porting, I can safely say a TI-83+ release is 100% doable at this point. The Oceanside graphics were also added to the TI-83+ code.

CrASH_Man wrote some really neat stuff, and 100% 83+ = Yay! Smile

Has the origional Robot War come to the 83+ yet?

This game pretty much uses the same graphics core as the original, so I couldn't port it until just now. Since all the hero characters from the original are returning, I'll probably have to re-release the original the same time the new one comes out.
