I take it that this is never going to come out in Europe

can anyone make a sims game (search it if you don't know)

no you cant

hello?

hi i'm kabutomania id like to start a petit computer project based on mac osx
i was wondering if anyone might want to help?

Yes, it does matter. Try scanning your QR codes after you post them. If you're having trouble, then it's a sure thing that other people will too.

You never know. I believe the attempt is there, at least.

Considering that somebody made a text-only Sims game in one day, I believe it is possible.

thanks for demoting my spirits

No problem! That will be $99999999999999 please.

lololol
btw i am making a text based version of minecraft its still in production but it is going to be out soon. maybe two weeks to two and a half weeks

well ok i am not saying no i mean to my opinion its kida difficult but thats just me but if you know the ropes i guess..

when i test my QR codes they work fine

cool. ive already made an os called the DIRECTORY OS
so i could probably help. if its in ANSII art then yes. if sprites then no

Did you see my "cincos"? It was themed off of windows, with a few things from a mac (I own both a PC and an eMac), so I would definatley like to help.

is it possible to assign a string name to a sprite? i've tried assigning a string to a sprite, using SPSET, but it hasn't worked out. if it is possible, how do i go about doing it? example?

probably not, my theory on the way it is only numbers is because it is faster to type a number than a whole string.
why would you want to do that anyway?

programming, son.
more specifically, remember when i asked about moving "===" (post #1,334)? well, i just began translating the program so the paddle is instead a sprite (#64) wandering around a virtual environment. i wanted to name the sprite with a string so i could refer to it as R1$. it didn't REALLY need to be a string, just any kind of label would have worked.

You could always use a named constant for a sprite's control number. It would work just as well as a label would.
Ex.
BOUNCING_DEMON=23

SPSET BOUNCING_DEMON , 34, 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
SPOFS BOUNCING_DEMON , 6, 66

This would also work. VAL() only reads the first part of a string and truncates unused characters.
ex2.
S1$="23"+" BOUNCING_DEMON"

SPSET VAL(S1$) , 34, 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
SPOFS VAL(S1$) , 6, 66

Using names for sprites would make the code larger. I'm fine using plain numbers.

Using numbers also makes it easier to work with several sprites at once, imo.

well, i ended up wimping out on that and used SPOFS. the program runs well, but the character only animates (used SPANIM for animation when he walks) when i release the D-Pad, and by then he isn't walking anymore, so it doesn't makes sense. when he does move, there's no animation, and it's incredibly slow. i'm trying to fix it, but i don't know how it'll end up going faster.

The "walking without moving" thing could be caused by using SPANIM in a loop, every time you set the animation, it restarts.

Since you're setting the animation several times during a loop it restarts several times very quickily and it looks like the character is not animated at all... Until the loop ends and the animation is free to go on.
