speed =)

[CrimsonCasio]

as you wish.

[Overlord]

speed. (i think you have enough memory on the c300 )

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, I've done as requested and it looks like it might end up being both, plus having the ability to forge your own weapons, armor, and other items is a nice side effect. I'm also developing a sort of scripting language for items that should be interesting... if you have a weapon, armor, or item you want just tell me and i'll make it, use this format:

Weapon:
-Name
-Color Alignment (Red,Green,Blue), you can give me a sub color too, I still dont know if it will be used though
-Description
-Effect on striking

Armor:
-Name
-Color Alignment
-Description
-Effect on defending

Useable Item:
-Name
-Description

consider it thinks for the support

[casiokingdom]

i have a whole list of weapon/armour names that i created when i was planning to create Kingdom 2. yet i got too busy and abandoned the project. However soon i think i'll begin programming again, so i will use the names. Sorry Crimson, giving you ideas will make my game less original and interesting. Selfish me! hehe

[maurice1979]

give it a play and tell me what you think.

I've noticed that your graphics are symbol based (or something)

Very nostalgic, when I played pre windows games.
But I've seen some other games that are in developement, that use bitmaps. www.classpad.org
If you build the game with bitmaps, is it possible or will it suffer too much in speed??

another question, can you use the full screen of the classpad in the game and use resize, to view and hide text.
What battle system will you use?? U said your not realy fan of turn based battle. But in battle are you going to use a new screen, as when you enter into a house?

What about creating a menu stats , equipment and other stuff??

[CrimsonCasio]

Unfortunately the cames on classpad.org are add-ins, and we cant do add-ins yet. If I did bitmaps it would be slightly faster but the size of the game would be far too big

when they made the basic language they did not include a way to resize the screen, we can bring up the screens we want and in the order we want, but we cant get rid of them or resize them. the battles will take place on the graph screen (below the main screen) and they will probably have to be turn based, but not mindless turn based, it require an element of skill and stratagy.

I'm in the process of crealting an items menu... but I need to make a few items for it

[Overlord]

you can add the standard items for the tests

hp bonus (low, mid, high, full)
mp bonus (low, mid, high, full)
hp+mp bonus (low, mid, high, full)

[CrimsonCasio]

well, of course I'll have that kind of item, but do you want any personallized items that will be included in the game?

[XF007]

XF potion : you become stupid


I think you can do like over game : antidot,potion,etc ....

But You can do characters withs Universal Casio Forum pseudo it could be

[Andy.Davies]

anti-venom, sheild arora, speed (for a sertain number of attacks), strength (again for a certain number of attacks)

[Overlord]

Some items/weapons with random effects

[2072]

You could add alcool bottles so the character can be drunk (Like in Ultima 8).

XF007 idea is good too (make me a great wizard)

[Andy.Davies]

has antone ever played Jagged Alliance 2? in that you can drink alcohol, and you mercinarys get all grumpy and violent! but they also need to drink water, or they colapse from de-hydration, so, crimson

alcohol and Water

[CrimsonCasio]

lol... mabey.

as for putting all of you in a game... most of your names wouldnt fit (2072).

[Bob Vila]

what about bob vila?

[Overlord]

Overlord is normally Lawful Neutral. Since there is no neutral, he can be Neutral Good :-p

[CrimsonCasio]

the closest to neutral is Blue. its neutral because it has the capsity for good and evil but with a human touch.

[betoe]

I want to be a personage!! maybe Pervert betoe (too long), arrogant betoe, darth betoe, graceful betoe, lord betoe, kid betoe, Neo betoe...

[CrimsonCasio]

lord betoe... mabey...

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, here is the scripting commands I have set up so far:

- variable access
- assignment
- output text
- output message
- alter map
- polyline
- refresh screen
- conditional (multi)statements
- looped (multi)statements

do I need anything else?

[CrimsonCasio]

heh, I had a flash of inspiration and now the script can support infinitely nested conditional statements (if statements). the while loops cant be nested just yet, but I'm working on that.

[betoe]

well, lord betoe is good.

Sometimes i dont know what to do for difficult homeworks, and my inspiration came when i go to the bathroom. Its like a good place to think distant of the noise of the city, like a sanctuary.

[CrimsonCasio]

:rlol: Lord betoe on his porcelain throne

[Overlord]

:rlol: :rlol:
will it be in the game ?

(no me it's when i'm in front of a computer, or when i'm sleeping (yes yes sleeping) OR going to sleep.)

[betoe]

Well it sounds ridiculous but its truth, and i'm sincere.

One good thing for the game would be some activities like the "chocobos" (i dont remember well the name). One time i watch a PS RPG game called final fantasy 8, played by a friend, and thats chocobos were like horses, in the RPG game the user had and use for competitions the chocobos.

Also in zelda were to good the shoes to run faster, or the horse.

[CrimsonCasio]

lol, dont get too ahead of yourself, I just got the scripting working (more or less) and will release a demo later. every item is capable of using this scripting, allowing for items to be given a wide varity of effects, and possibly enchanted.

[Andy.Davies]

Arsen Andy : He could 'play' with fire....
Lightning Andy : Could attack with Magic Electricity (such as lightning, bolts of Lightnign from hands etc..)

[CrimsonCasio]

I'm almost done with the scripting language... but I'm having some problems with the nested ifs... I may not allow them after all (at least in this version)

[CrimsonCasio]

I'm about ready to start up on this again, this time i'll be using the stdlib. I also have lots of new ideas for it
I'll need lots of testers though, so be ready

btw: since this is the program that started the stdlib project we will probably be getting more such functions out of it

[mkanter]

I have started to build an real(!) multiplayer game for the classpad. (An SB62 is required -XXL better) It's a version of sink-ship. The emulated multiplayer will be added later.

[CrimsonCasio]

marcel is to the classpad what martin is to the CFX at the moment. you should see some of the things he sends me to forward to casio (me: )

[mkanter]

It's almost ready. Release 2b will be online in a few days.

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, when its ready tell me and I'll snatch my friends classpad to test it.

[CrimsonCasio]

well, guess what, Ive decide to revamp everything

I'm basically starting over, but I'll be using most of the same code, just fixed up and more stable, I also made a map maker so I can design the maps to look like they will be in the game, it also helps me check the size of the chars i use so that problems dont occure there. anyway, I'm making the starting map (not the demo town, a real one) and going to start writing the plot. I also moved the action to the graph screen and was able to make each screen slightly bigger. I hope to speed things up as well.

btw: I will need 1 or 2 dedicated testers for this, since I want to to be available to the public only after its compleat these people will be the only ones to play the game before its finished.

[betoe]

I want to be a tester!

[CrimsonCasio]

I'll need quick feedback betoe, are you sure you have time?

[betoe]

Damn, well try to have other CP users, but if you dont have any response, i will try to do my best.

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, thanks for the offer

[CrimsonCasio]

forgot to mention, all testers will be duely noted in the credits, and if possible I'll feature them in the game, they will also have access to any cheats or secrets i build into the game.
