Topic: Petit Computer

@petitprogrammer: Added. To create QR codes you just need to visit petitcomputer.com and use their converter.

@Ispheria: Well, no... Unless cows count as NPCs... You can talk to them. They're not very interesting though.
The only characters in the game are you and the three shopkeepers. I was planning to add a separate npc, but she ended up as a shopkeeper too (Anna).

Alright, uhm.
I have no idea how to code this stuff. I used to work with .cs and .ini files for game modding, but building games from stage 1 using BASIC is hard as trying to understand why the hell we study trivial freaking history crap.
I'm trying to make a Zelda-like sort of game based around the Adventure Time world, but I have no idea how to load custom sprites or make them move. Nor do I know how to give enemies AI. I thought this program was gonna have a tutorial for all of this.

edit: Oh, and I'm also trying to make a children's card game. whoop whoop YGOTAS

Maybe I should be more specific, I know how to make them but I dont know how to post this on this thread.

@sushifreAK to load sprites and make them move use this coding. PS.CLS clears the screen of text so it's good to use at the start of programs.
PPS.First you need to make sprites in PRG:CHU0. And set it to sprite mode also you'll notice the numbers 0-7 on the bottom where i put 0 just change it depending on what one you use and filename is what you sved it as.
CLS
LOAD "SPU0:FILENAME"
SPSET 0,LOCATION,0,0,0,0,16,16
PRINT "Use the d-pad to move
@LOOP
IF BTRIG()==1 GOTO @ UP
IF BTRIG()==2 GOTO @DOWN
IF BTRIG()==4 GOTO @LEFT
IF BTRIG()==8 GOTO @RIGHT
GOTO @LOOP
@UP
SPREAD(0)X,Y
SPOFS 0,X,Y-16,60
GOTO @LOOP
@DOWN
SPREAD(0),X,Y
SPOFS 0,X,Y+16,60
GOTO @LOOP
@LEFT
SPREAD(0)X,Y
SPOFS 0,X-16,Y,60
GOTO @LOOP
@RIGHT
SPREAD(0)X,Y
SPOFS 0,X+16,Y,60
GOTO@LOOP

If you want me to edit this to show you how tom animate it so it looks like it's walking just ask.

@metroid cows do count as npcs. oh and do you know how soon you will finish the game.

You can quote this comment and you'll see the code.

I think Petit Farm should be finished by the end of this week, but I'm not too reliable when it comes to dates.

@morphtroid thanks and I cant wait to try out petit farm

hey I was wondering if morphdroid could make me a tutorial on petit computer. I just learned how to use @LOOP, but I need some MAJOR help for BASIC. Plz.

Thanks @petitprogrammer
Mind explaining how this works and how to spawn swords/melee weapons?
I think I know how to animate them. I'll post if I ever need help.

@Morphtroid Wow, that looks great! Can't wait to play it. Btw what ideas do you have for any future projects you will be working on with PTC?

@sushifreak sorry I don't know how to use sprite collision commands.

I really need help too :/

I don't really know how to teach
I don't know on which page of the thread, but someone already posted a link to a BASIC tutorial.
I also recommend you to read the game manual, that's what I did to learn.

If you ever need help with specific problems, I'll be glad to try and help.

a good way to start learning is by looking at other people's code

Hey theres a new thread for PTC tutorials so anyone who wants to help out with coding should check it out.
P.S. Please mind the rules, I don't want it getting crowded with questions or comments.

thx I listened to your advice, and i learned a bit more!

Morphtroid PLZ finish quick your game looks AWESOME!!!!!!!

oh also can someone tell me why when i save my stuff to sd, on the computer, nothing is inside of the folder named "SALLY" (AKA my programs name)

@Morphtroid
you seem very... ... ... intelligent about PetitComputer. i was wondering if you could add me via 3DS. i tried asking on the official 3DS FC thread, but it didnt work out, so i deleted my comment. gotta ask here, or else you wont see it. my FC/name is in my signature below

@linput: that sounds strange, are you sure they're not there? Have you really saved them? Maybe you deleted them by mistake?

@old_skool: thanks! I have never visited that thread, so yeah... I added you now.
