Hey, I'm thinking of starting to start to start to make SimTower in asm for the 83+. Is this a feasible undertaking? I don't actually own the game, but I've played it alot and teh concepts are pretty simple. Reply with questions, comments, or ideas, or threats (I'm expecting one from Jared anytime now...)

Yeah, I got one. What are you talking about?

One what? A threat?
What do you mean, what am I talking about? The game, or what?

Je regret je n'ai pas etait understandment.
Yeah, I don't know how to say that.

What I ment was "What kind of game is it?" It sounds like a puzzle game.

You've never heard of SimTower? *gasp* Oh well, it's an OLD PC game (c. 1994) in which you build a virtual tower and put offices and elevators and apartments and stuff in it. See link for longer description. To make this, I'd have to learn how to use arrays in asm, though... I've put that off for the longest time.

It's a great idea; try using sprites if you have Omnicalc. Another idea is to possibly use a matrix for the map, with a different number for each type of tile (residential = 1, commercial = 2, etc.) The upside to using this would be something like this:

(displaying tiles)

[A](A,B)-> C
sprite(0,8Z,0,8,8,8(B-1),8(A-1),2

If you had the residential sprite at (0,0) in pic0, then it would be displayed as you wanted it.

That should be condo instead of residential, and office for commercial.

Uhhh, Jared, I realize you're just trying to help, but there's one little phrase you didn't catch: "in asm". Since you might not know what "asm" is, it is short for "assembly", which is the language that Gerhalt was encouraging you to learn. Asm is much, much different from basic...

sorry, didn't see that

I'm making an RPG (in BASIC) but when it's done, I'll have nothing to do. give me IDEAS!!!

Make a sequal.

Amen! Sequels are always hits!

Gerhalt

I might, but I NEED IDEAS! The plot will become clearer once I figure out how to submit this to ticalc.org

Submit it to ticalc.org? BTW, you need to build the storyline, characters, and plot on paper (Interesting way to phrase that isn't it?) before you ever start programming. Make a continuation of the story, or have it continue with the son of the warrior who was the hero of the first quest. Confusing aren't I? Oh well, just figure it out and have fun!

Gerhalt

I think I'll make a SpiritBound Zero for the original adventure. I'm almost done with this one.

Actually, it got deleted from my calc, and the floppy became unformated all on the same day. I'm scrapping it and doing a third Mainstage.

Hey I'm starting a game called VPEOPLE. It's kinda like the SIMS with no graphics. There's no garentee that I will finish it but if I do it won't be untill early 2004 probably. Have any ideas please email me.

Sounds cool. How detailed will it be?

You will get a job, buy stuff, it's going to be "turned based" you need to get a standard of living status of an undisided nimber and become a millionare that's about all. When I learn ASM I might add more (not sure what) but i'm sure i'll think of something.

I am planning on making a math program called "MATH 101". I want it to do a lot of things, so it takes the place of those tiny math programs. Does anyone have any math ideas for it?

I am sorry I posted this here. I didn't remember I was in the "games" section untill after I clicked "POST". I will retype this in the "math" section. Again-SORRY!

YOU MUST DIE FOR YOUR MOST HORRIBLE OF CRIMES.
Just kidding ;-)
People do stuff like that all the time, don't worry about it.

Lol, don't worry. People post all sorts of stuff like that. For example, if you scroll up you will say a guy "Offering Expert Advice On Basic Programming". People put lots of off-topic stuff, and they don't even read the rules before posting. So don't feel bad... you're smarter than most people who post here (I said most silent fury ;)

Gerhalt

You don't need to put your name at the end of every message that you type. It already states it in the upper-left hand corner of the text box.

J'ai oublie finir mes devoirs. Je vais fair mes devoirs maintenent.

Hey, I like to anyway! It doesn't really matter, at the max it adds +2 lines of text.

Gerhalt ;)

STOP TALKING FRENCH! GAHHH!
I feel excluded...

I'm not talking frog language. The only person who is using that is dabud :).

Gerhalt

I know that; that is why I replied to his comment and not yours... ;)

Argh!!! Stop being mean! I didn't realize it was off-topic!

Gerhalt wasn't being mean, he was merely stating an amazingly true fact.
