This is quite impressive! It looks amazing with just hybrid. It almost looks like it's ASM for how fast it runs.
Great work FinaleTI! |

@Wesley: Thanks!
@tr1p1ea: I'm not sure about adding a walking animation, because it would most likely slow down movement because it would have to store character to the map, loop waiting for a keypress, display the animation, restore the map and repeat. I would have to loop over the second walking frame a few times to get the grey effect and I would need to then keep track of which frame your character is on for going up and down as well as keeping track of the terrain tile you're currently on and it could make it much slower and faster. I'm still trying to figure out a quick way of adjust the sprite used based on direction and terrain.
I'm still tweaking the engine a bit, though, so a screenie might have to wait. 
But in hopefully no more than a few days, I should have it ready for screenshotting. |

| I've made quite a bit of progress, but I'm not quite ready to release a screenie. However, I will say that the engine is currently just about bug-free. |

Finally, I've done it! My 4-level greyscale mapping engine has been fixed and is better than ever!
Here's a screenie:

And I've created a new sprite for Green!

In order to create the awesome 4-level greyscale , I utilized the fast For( glitch. By leaving on that ending parenthesis, it makes the For( run a little faster and that helps a lot! |

This may seem insulting, but is the game that slow or is the emulator? |

| The game might be a tad slower in emulation, I'm not sure. But then again, this is hybrid BASIC. I actually purposefully delayed it a little so, 1) higher quality grey and 2) when you ride the bike, the bike can be a tad faster. Also, I did press the keys kinda slowly when I recorded it. |

Nice. I am an extremely impatient person sometimes, and I would think the game is great, but complain about the speed alot. It looks really good though. Do you have any idea how the stats from the original games work? The Attack Sp. Attack, defense, Sp. Defense, Accuracy, and agility, etc.? |

The graphics are beautiful, just like the old games. Brings back memories...
That being said... it is a bit slow. If you could speed it up somehow, it would be even better.
Good luck, and keep up the excellent work! |

Yeah, I know. I'm not a great spriter, but it looks similiar to Green from the manga and the most important part is that it isn't wider than 32 pixels. Although, if anyone out there is a good spriter, I would appreciate a better sprite.
Also, here's the walking program with a shorter delay.

Nice. Also, I've been working on the stat bar for my game. Since the stat bar size stays the same, but your hp grows I couldn't figure out how to do it. But I think I finally figured it out. You divide your Hp by the damage, then times that by the bars number of sprites. Then take away however many. Any better ideas? |

| What I usually do for HP bars is take my current HP (H) and max HP (F) and then divide them (H/F) and multiply that by the number of pixels in the HP bar (H/F * X) and the just use a Line Command to fill in the bar, for example: Line(0,0,iPart((H/F)30),0 |

No, sorry, I meant when you subtract after your enemy has attacked. I was gonna use a ratio between hp over damage = Pixels, then use pixel off until its taken away enough. |

Because in pokemon, once you get the bicycle, you go much faster.
In my case, I was going to make it so the user would go 2 spaces instead of 1.  |

That's an interesting idea, since it would go faster, but it could get annoying because of inconsistent movement. I'm not gonna worry about biking and the like to much now though.
Quote: Why do you have a delay in your walking code?
By delay I mean the number of times the loops outside of the getkey loop cycle. Essentially, my code is:
Begin Loop
Set-up player sprite
Wait for keypress while looping grey
Clear player sprite
Loop for grey
Move map offset
Loop for grey
End of main loop
If I don't have the loops for grey in between, it hangs at black and white for to long and looks bad.
These loops are simple For loops like For(Z,0,1) to cycle the grey a little before reaching the next command.
The delay is just the number of times I loop before moving on.
Also, as tifreak said, the bike allows you to move faster than normal walking, so a small delay allows for that. |

I know this has been dead for awhile, but any progress? My Pokemon game thing has come along rather nicely. Sprites, choosing your own pokemon, getting new moves, and enemy Chooser all still need to be put in though. |

| I haven't had much progress, because I've been working on some other stuff, but I haven't abandoned Pokemon TI yet. I'm currently trying to figure out a quick and less memory-intensive way of storing and displaying text than hex sprites. |

| Hex Sprites yeah.... Mine has it hard coded in, but since yours is different graphics, i imagine its different. I might diffrentiate the battle sayings based on power of attack. Like critical hit! Not effective at all. You suck at life. One hit ko! XD |
