Yup.. wait, who changed mah reply box! o.O
lol, anyways.. (i know, just goofing off)
Still working on writing out the code on paper, so I can begin rewriting variables and such. Finding small optimizations as I go, so it isn't completely wasted. Will hopefully have more soon.. Too many things to do.. =S |

| Quick question: Are we going to be able to have two-player battles between calcs over the link cable? |

That is the eventual plan, yes. =]
I have been trying to make sure the battle system remains open to being able to do that easily enough.. or I will create a secondary battle system just for calc to calc battles.
Also, still writing away at all this code.. =p |

Are you gonna be nice enough to add in that duplication cheat?
Good luck with finishing writing out all the code. |

Probably not. It isn't exactly easy programming in a cheat when it is something done on accident.. =p
Also, more worried about the game playing correctly than a lil cheat like that.. |

It's more of a product of lazy programmers. That little strip on the side of Cinnabar island was accidentally labeled as a place where 'land' encounters occur, but since it was an accident nothing was loaded into the encounter data buffer to say what the pokemon should be, so whatever encounter data from where you were last (that had wild pokemon) was used. The thing with talking to that guy was that when he did his little 'demo', the name of the player was changed so they wouldn't have to completely redo the code for battle text, and of course they had to back it up somewhere, and guess where they put it! So your name would also be in the encounter buffer, so at that Cinnabar place the game tried to read your name as data for a pokemon, thus glitchy. |

Well, after dealing with a crap ton of ice and snow and stuff, and nearly killing myself with work, I am back to workin on writing out this code and optimizing as I catch them. =]
just thought you all would want to know.  |

Of course. Better to give some little news than this topic get rusty. Good you are optimizing things. More space and speed for more.
But such a massive game isn't a "little" demotivating? Especially with TI-BASIC being relatively slow. But that can also be viewed as a challenge... |

nawh, the project itself is far from demotivating. Everything in real life is what demotivates me <<
And yeah, finding things that I should have either caught or went back and fixed long ago, getting it done now.. ^^ |

Bullion cubes. TI-Basic is as fast as you need it to be, just have to code for it  |

True enough, babyboy.
I managed to get the code for the loading program written down, and I spotted an error that will cause you to register the same amount of pokemon being caught from the main screen each time. It is a simple fix, but one I probably would have not caught without having written this code down. I can't wait to be done with all this.. XD |

But for less demanding things, you are hopefully right. Seeing this way is a cool language, thinking it was preferentially designed for math (probably).
tifreak, is open season for bugs or what? Nice you catch them... Catch'em all.

That idea is super-effective!

lol digitan
Got some more written out, decided that the loading program needs to be rewritten, it is too horrible large and can be done in 1/8th the code that is currently there. It is on the todo list once I get all the code out on paper.
God this is taking forever.. o_o |

An epic game implies code of epic proportions :biggrin: (or in your case  ) |

lol, sometimes. XD
Still moving along tho. Will hopefully get some massive amounts done this sunday, and possibly saturday evening, depending on if I can move my arms at all or not.. =S Got lots of firewood to cut and such. |

| About how far through this project do you think you are? Also, how large will the final game be? |
