A85: Which is better
For the pieces to my dungeon rooms, since I would like them to be
versatile, they are small, either 2x2, 2x3, or 3x2 pixels. I could use
sprites but I am thinking since sprites take up 3 bytes at least (I
think), for such small sprites this might be a waste. Should I create
sprites or should I draw the points/lines? I'm also still wondering if
people would play team RPGs.
Would it be possible to create a sprite that is continually being changed
each time you change rooms? Since each room is the same size square I
could do this:
CurRoom:
.db 7, 7
.db %00000000
.db %00000000
.db %00000000
.db %00000000
.db %00000000
.db %00000000
.db %00000000
Then when I walk into a room, my program reads the room attributes and
modifies CurRoom so I just draw the whole room at once. I was thinking
of adding a spell that created a "fog" (plots a checkerboard of black
pixels) on the screen to make gameplay more difficult. This would mean
I'd have to use a sprite routine that kept white spaces transparent or
I'd need a mask which might be difficult.
