Wow I am starting realising I suck at pure BASIC programming (I am more a lib enhanced basic guru >.< )

I just realized that the label i made to return back to the main program after drawing a tile was useless, although it works. Instead now, I will make individual if statements return instead of goto the label to return. This will make it faster, but just a bit.

I have also made a house tile into the program, and I'm currently working on a map editor, so I can easily make maps.

I had made a house game its called House Creator which had alot of house sprites that you could use but just give me credit:

Here was what a screen would look like together:

Im all done with the project so they are not really in use but my game did use Xlib so they are 8X8

Nicez sprites. Speaking of tilemaps, I also liked Hitoshi's tilemaps (well, applies for only the first chapter in FFTOM2) though it was quite... generic as well as the Red Hour 2 demo's tilemapping routine.

Dragonwarrior333, those look pretty good, but I want to make my own tiles.

Updates are here!
Instead of a 8x7 grid, I made it 10x7. The loading is a bit slower but I made optimizations, so it won't look that bad. I added a start menu.

I finished my dialog engine!

I also included water, and person tile.

The cursor is still in the game to be used to identify items.

Look at my first post to see the updated screeny.

Looks really nice, so is this going to be a rpg maker/editor? or will you release a product using this? Or a little of both maybe?

wow awesome, I am amazed by what people can do in pure basic, keep up the good work on this

I like your sprites too

My first Basic RPG engine (almost 6 years ago) called a second program that drew the sprites with line and pixel commands in If statements. I hated it, and thought it was very childish to do it like that. So about a year later I wrote a more generic sprite drawing routine that used 8 numbers in a list, converted them to binary and pixel-on'ed them to the screen. I was a lot more satisfied with that system, but it was horribly slow

So now it turns out that my first method was the fastest possible in pure Basic?

Anyway, after that I made the full switch to assembly

Well using elfprinces routine would be cutting it pretty close on speed wise. (he has a string which is displayed onto the graphscreen using the sub comand which will display each char within the string and advance the position by one etc.)

I have been working on a battle engine for my tile mapper. It has basic animation for attacking. So far, you can attack the monster, but it doesn't attack back.

See the new screeny in first post.
