: 1. Make a permenant change to a map tile...so you can leave and come back and still have it changed (without a program) I can do it with a hidden item program.
Yes, doing it with a hidden item could work.. Also, you could have a program that #Puts a tile on a board then sets a variable (like changed!)
to 1 and whenever you come back on the board you could check the changed! variable.. Err.. I just realized this probably wouldn't work unless you
only have one entrance... Hmmm...
: 2. Edit graphics on layer 2 in a program.
Not that I know of, no.. I forget whether #Scan and #Mem
can do layers..
: 3. Edit the tile under a character (without making him/her disappear)
I *think* #Scan and #Mem could do this, but I'm not sure.. You can always #Put a tile, then immediately
#PutPlayer him over it...
: 4. Make a fast tile animation using a multitask program or some other way...if there is one
Well: 1. Speed up the multitasking to 250 ms..
2. Try to condense your code (i.e use as little lines as possible)
as the multitasking only runs like one line per session, so the less
lines it has to go through the faster it is... Makes sense, right? :)
: 5. Change character graphics abd walking speed to give the illusion of being in a vehicle.
Well, I dunno, make a "character" that's a car, swap the main character and it, then bump up the
character speed (using..err..#CharacterSpeed) to really fast so it looks like he's going fast.. The
illusion is sort of killed though, considering it's only tile * tile movement. Other things you could do
would be to have a program that draws a car around a player, like:
#Put(playerx[0]! - 1, playery[0], "carfront.gph")
#Put(playerx[0]!, playery[0]! - 1, "cartop.gph")
: 6. Any one know where or how to get 3D rendering software and AVI creating software. (for free....*nudge* *nudge* *wink *wink*)
Well, PSP has an Animation Studio 2 with it, which I think is an AVI creating prorgram.. There's lotso cracks around for it as well..
