: : 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..
