Lol rofl: forgotten my USB-Stick ÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â´.O
That means: No screenshots - sorry
Has anyone an idea of how to archive a prog via ASM?
What is the best way to save data (savegames)?
I thought of AppVar but that doesnt work on the 83.
And I thought of Protected Program but that doesnt work on the 83.
I just want to prevent being able to edit the savegame...
And it should not be deleted after a MemClear... Duh!

Maybe you noticed that the prog is now about 15100 bytes... and the shop is still missing... and the credits... and the Link-part
Link-part? Jeha! Good idea xD, Yesterday I had a look in a Linktutorial.
That means that I will have to make a new program "WizLink" which should be include a possibility to trade your cards and... to FIGHT against a human player!

Ok, that all will need some more time, sure.
But it seems to be good news, right?

Greetings from Netherland,

To archive a program in asm:

Code: Select all

 ld de,ProgName
 bcall(_mov9toop1)
 bcall(_chkfindsym)
 ;b cotains if program is in archive or ram
 ;de contains address if in ram
 ld a,b
 cp 0 ;i think 1 is archived...if it doesnt work try 0
 ret z
 bcall(_arc_unarc)   ;toggles archive status
 ret
 ...

ProgName:
 .db ProgObj,"PROG",0

And by FAR my favorite way to save data is using write-back. I think you need to squish the program to do that on the 83 regular, maybe. Thats what ASM guru said, but, you know, it's ASM guru.

Hey Nano I just want to say Wizards is AWESOME !!!
I found that using two "Doubble Hits" dosn't work (Im not shure if you knew that)

I also have some questions

1.)Is there going to be in-battle saving?
2.)Is there the three slots for saving in the Beta?
3.)How do you get the "mario" card?
4.)Is there going to be more cards ( I think there is enough but i just wanted to know

)

Here are some suggestions ( You don't have to listen to them if you don't want )

1.)Have it prompt you to eit when you push [MODE]
I find myself pressing [MODE] when I want to activate the secret power (Nice Feature

) or when I press second
2.) When you buy a random card It will show you which one you get

But this "beta" is awesom and could be called a full game to me. Nice work. Plus AWESOME loading/Saving animation!
