Crimson warfare

[Eeems]

why I wanted to know about the background is because of something I made a while ago (link)
and for the moving background I know of a good tutorial for that here

EDIT: I just saw this

[geekboy1011]

thanks for the tutorials the will help alot and thanks for you input on doors because doors can run the progs that use celtic 3 right?
oh and i really dont care about the size if you did not notice i fill my calc up and empty it just as often (well lately )

and what one do you think will be better a scrolling or like the one i have


and one last question to every one who decided to try : how are the pics ect. coming i'm being lazy and dont want to code to much untill i get the best pics yada yada yada thanks for the help

Okay. Since i havn't been much help on the Menu or Map. i'l help with the Battle Area.. whatever it's called.

Note: since i suk at XLib ANDDD CelticIII. i'll have to write like.. instead of Real(1,-stuff-. il do like What character/soldier

And are we doing like an exact copy of Crimson Warfare where the soldiers/tanks and stuff move and track where each other are and shoot?
cause im having trouble imagining how this thing will run... even if we complete it, i think it would run so slow...

anyways il start planning or thinking how we can do this.. if u guys want u can plan too. i don't think my plan will be as good as i hope

EDIT:* to get things clear. CrimonWarefare is like 2 armies against each other. and you select your building to create soldiers/tanks?

cause on the first page of posts, Geekboy said something about "after moving around"... can you guys give me a discription? or send me a link to the game XD?

[TI-newb]

i just read 1 page on CelticIII. and im sold. I LOVE IT ALREADY!

Sorry for double posting. i will never do it agian T_T
well.. maybe i might..

[Eeems]

grr, I was going to say something about the double posting then I read the last bit of the last post...you know you could just put the two posts together with an edit...and yes Celtic III is amazing, but it doesn't have full compatibility yet, but it will when Imbian finishes with it.

[TI-newb]

kay. from what ive searched up so far. Crimson Warefare is a game where human vs computer. and there are two sides. and you send your army to take down the other base/camp.

This sounds VERY complicated. but i will attempt to make a plan for the battles.

Btw. what do you mean CelticIII isn't Fully Compatible... like is it Usable?.. or will there be some Glitches/Problems/Crashes?...

and Celtic is 30Kb.. it can be used on uhh Archive right XD? cause our ram is like 23k max.. this will take a while to learn. it's almost like Xlib EXCEPT!!!! I like the way Sprites are drawn....

Btw. to make 4x4 Sprites..you need like 4 digits? but 16x16? i dunno plz explain.

[Eeems]

no just not all the commands work, it doesn't cause crashes though, and it's an app so of course it's in the Archive, it just copies out a catch for the commands

[TI-newb]

Not all Commands?.. Does that interesting Sprite Drawing thing work....? thats what i really want it for XD and maybe Screen scrolling Lols!

EDIT!*hehe. i just printed out the whole Readme LOLS! if im bored MWHAHA i'l have so much to do!!

[Eeems]

all the main commands do I think, it's just the compatability that has problems

[TI-newb]

Main Commands? arn't there just like. Commands... Does PUTESPRITE work? or SHIFTSCREEN...? those look pretty 'Main Commands' to me.

EDIT* When you said "all the Main Commands Do" what im thinking ur saying is. All the Main Commands Do not work.. if you read the 4 earlier posts... uhh you might get what im trying to say XD but now i think your saying that Main Commands Work.. i hope your right.

[geekboy1011]

ok i have sadly not added any changes to any thing but using the tutorial eeems gave me i have made a scrolling (the diagonal thing) grayscale back round


for the sake of speed i think we should ditch the tracking nd jst do repetitive rows (like the guys follow one of three or for set movment patterns) as u have already notice i have cut the game up into a buch of diffrent prog for 1` ease of editing and 2 by having it in a bunch of different progs eg:1 menu prog holds all menues
1 battle per prog all battles in diferent progs this does make it i a bit more tedious to program but is much easy er to save space as stuff can be arced and stuff as need be

this is the code for the front screen movment back round(not including the actual title just the backround)


0>y
real(5,0,26
0>x
O>a
Getkey>a
identity(,8."0018183c667e1800",x,y,0,1
identity(,8."182424429981e77e",x,y,0,1
identity(,8."0018183c667e1800",x,y,0,1
x-1>x
y-1>y
end

tell me what u think

[TI-newb]

UHHHH. i still have yet to read the ReadMe... lemme put this into my uhm.. calc. and see what i see/think.. i'l edit this when i have seen what i wanna see ! XD

EDIT* Uhhh. I see alot of SpaceShips.. on the Screen.. That looks really awsome! *For a second there i thought it was the background of the Battlefield.. untill i read further.. lols. Anyways the Menu would look awsome with that background *Gratz*

EDIT*On the CelticIII thingy i read. how do u make the Menu Box Overlapping the background?? and Do i need Xlib for this project *i deleted that. but i can re-install it if it is needed*

I mean all the Celtic III specific ones, not all the xLib compatibility ones

[geekboy1011]

here is a quik explanation in comment format


0>y ;duh
real(5,0,26 ; set contrast to 26
0>x ;duh
O>a ;duh
Getkey>a
identity(,8."0018183c667e1800",x,y,0,1}
identity(,8."182424429981e77e",x,y,0,1} displays the 8x8 sprites around the screen
identity(,8."0018183c667e1800",x,y,0,1]
x-1>x ; shifts left
y-1>y ; shifts down
end

And according the the readme, these aren't implemented yet:
det(33, det(34, identity(10

det34 does work had to clear my ram quite a few times by messing with it



to ti newb
no it will work with celtic 3
and go here for a great tutorial (thanks to eeems)
the cahnges to the code would be

>y ;duh
real(5,0,26 ; set contrast to 26
0>x ;duh
O>a ;duh
Getkey>a
identity(,8."0018183c667e1800",x,y,0,0}not update
box code here and update
identity(,8."182424429981e77e",x,y,0,0} displays the 8x8 sprites around the screen
box code here and update


identity(,8."0018183c667e1800",x,y,0,0]
ox code here and update

x-1>x ; shifts left
y-1>y ; shifts down
end

Okay. before i do any planning. i saw a screen shot of Crimson Warefare where you have a Menu taking up like.. Half the screen? or like 1/3 of the screen. and the other 2/3 is the Battlefield where all the action is... Do you want to keep the Menu there? or like do a Mini Pause to select the building/soldiers/vehichles to build.. and once you select the option you want. the game will go back to the full battle screen with everything resumed?... *just you know.. throwing ideas out.. (the reason i threw this out is cause the Screen on the calculator is already small.. considering what we're putting on the battlefield.. i thought we might need the WHOLE screen for this).. XD

[simplethinker]

[geekboy1011]

the bottom can be moved and i believe the game already pauses when u do an action because it cales a different program

i was having trouble figuring out haw a full menu would be transferable back to the battle field ya now what i mean right?
i have an idea for it and will try tonight \ tomorrow hope fully soon



to simple thinker

by problems i ment i left no way out of the proggram except on and well u get the picture

[TI-newb]

Well. how i was thinking how you should make it go from Menu to Battle Screen is uhh... Example

Repeat (Untill a team dies?)
Put up the buildings, or update the new buildings.
0->X
If (.. X?Any will do)=0
Then
BATTLE SCREEN and movement stuff here.. with Getkey.. and then like..
If Getkey
Then
MENU STUFF XD
1->X
End
End
End

Will that work? because it will technically pause the Battle.
