@morphtroid One more question, What is the power egg?

@Discord: You can. Just go to their site and find the "contact us" link. It must be there somewhere in that sea of japanese.

@Bluerobin2: It's a special item that increaces your max stamina by 10.

I just figured out a very easy way to prevent my player from going through walls!
What I did was had the BGREAD command make it so that if the player isn't traveling on a certain tile, then he can't move forward.
Something like this:
@MOVE
SPOFS 0,X,Y,0
IF (BUTTON(0) AND 1) THEN GOSUB @CHECK
GOTO @MOVE
@CHECK
BGREAD (0,X/8,Y/8),ID
IF ID==(the tile you want the player to be able to walk on) THEN Y=Y-1
RETURN
I still have to mess around with it though, as the tile ID's are not what I thought they were, and I sometimes get different results for similar tiles I'm traveling across. I'm also getting similar numbers for tiles that are different. For example, the Manual has the grass tiles as 32 and 33. However, when I step on them I get values like 32801 and 32800, or sometimes even 32901. Also, I'll step on a bush tile and have it equal 32800. I'm sure it's something in the way that I drew the map in SCRED, but I'll look into it more deeply.
Maybe I should write tutorials, I'm sure they could help others.

EDIT: I found the problem. When the background moves(BGOFS), the tile ID's don't move with it. So a house on one screen will be an invisible house on another.

I have an idea for this. It can be kind of like tower defense, with the tower being Whispy. you can attack by blowing air, dropping apples and dropping Gordos. Enemies like waddle dees and waddle doos are constantly approaching, and you have to use your tree powers to kill them.The bosses (in order) are Poppy Bro Sr, Lololo and Lalala, Kaboola, Kracko, King Dedede, and Kirby.

Please post it!

same!!!

guys, i was always going to post it! i apologize for the miscommunication, though. i meant to say why i was posting it here, not whether or not i was or wasn't! just dont expect in the next few weeks. i'm pretty lazy.

@0LD_SK0OL_PUNK , please add me on your 3ds!!! I added you.

does anyone have ptc utilities? If so, can you draw and/or upload your own grps better than on the ds?

That's nice. Why don't you write a tutorial on it? Lots of people want to do scrolling map.
Also, there's a way for collision detection to detect sprite-background interaction, although I haven't done it yet, so no guarantee it will work.

The trick I use is to move the blast sprite for 45 frames. Start the movement in @BLAST, and in the main loop, check that the sprite is still moving. If not, then put it away. If you want stationary animation, you can move it to the same coordinates.

I imagine their response would be to use translation formula: N=Y*256+X. X=N256;y=N/256
It's BASIC. It's not supposed to be fast. It's supposed to be easy. What can be easier than one line formula?

My Zelda-like game now has a fully programmed enemy that can both kill you and be killed by you. You can kill enemies with a sword, and you can move in all 8 directions. It's starting with a grassy background.

Great,when could you post the QRs?

When it's finished. The game itself will be finished by March 14th, however, I'll need to program story elements once that is done, so expect it to be released no later than March 21st. Don't worry, I'll post some videos while you wait. I'm enjoying the programming of this game much more than Dungeon Adventure: The Cave of Monsters, so this will most likely be the better game. I hope you enjoy it. But I'm not sure if I'll be able to program puzzle elements...I'll try my best! Combat, sidequests, and a story are definitely going to be in the game. There will be a forest, a desert, a mountain, 3 towns, and 3 dungeons. Each of these will be divided up into nine screens, making a total of 81 screens. If the game turns out good, expansions will be a possibility.

sounds like it'll be good for studying!

I hope you find it useful! It will use a lot of sprite collision, so if you need help with that, this will be useful!

i hope you of all people know what you're doing. you're being graded on this, right? but how? by how much effort the teacher/professor thinks you put into it? by presentation? by accuracy to the source material?

Oh i didnt read your post correctly,i thought you said you fully programmed the game.

Is there any way to make a sprite on the bottom screen using the background characters, specifically a 64X64 white square. I want to make a text window that can be closed with animation to make it more obvious where to touch the screen to get it back, and I made some code to do it on the top screen (though I forgot to save it so I need to redo it), but I can't use the same sprite on the bottom screen so I am hoping I can at least use a background tile as a large sprite.

PS: if anyone wants the closing window on the top screen I can remake the code and share it.

Just fyi to all, it looks like they released a "PC Edition" of their official strategy guide: http://www.petitcomputer.com/news/#

It's about $10, same as Android version I presume.

Can't they just release it as a real book?
