What I like with this game (Advanced Wars) is that there is no random parameters in the battle system. So it is really like chess, but a lot funnier!

First step finished: The Map Editor.

Just a small progress: Show the terrain info with the cursor.
But now, it's compatible with Turbo Forth!

Next step: Contextual menu to create units.

Still no progress with the game.

I adopted those words from Turbo-Forth: DATA, DCHAR, COLOR, SPRLOC, SPRITE and HCHAR.

Spoiler

That would have been easy if I wasn't already too attached to fig-Forth. So I had to implement these words in fig-Forth to keep my game compatible.

Spoiler

What I really appreciate with Turbo-Forth is that it also turbo-compiles. With classic99 at "system maximum" speed, it takes 6 seconds to compile with Turbo-Forth and 30 seconds with fig-Forth.

honnestly i expected Forth like something complicated, but after watching your code, it's look definitevely interesting and easy to code..

Done! I had to take a break to digest all this forth stuff.

Just 4 little things to finish the game:
- Move units
- Attack units
- Save/Load game
- AI

Put the BLOCKS file in DSK1 and run TurboForth. Then, type "2 BLOAD DROP TI-WARS". Arrows to move, UHJK to scroll, AZ for menus.

I tried to autoload it with "2 BLOAD DROP TI-WARS" in block 1, but it throws an error.

Beautiful! I can't wait to play the finished product! The execution speed is practically assembly like, especially the scrolling. I really have to get going with TF at some point :)

OK, basic moves done. The display of possible moves is slower than I thought, the TI is not a GBA...

I tried to optimize it, without success. I could also lock the cursor in the move range instead of displaying. Then, I would have to check only one move when the player wants to move the cursor.

Next things to do before the battle system:
- Gas consumption
- Supply units with the APC unit
- Transport units with APC, T-Copter and Lander
- Buildings capture
- Submarines diving
- Air units crash when out-of-gas

Actually, I'm not very optimist on finishing it for the 1st of July. I'll start with a 2 player game. Then, if I have enough memory and time, I'll add the AI. And the AI needs to be not too dumb, or the game will be boring.

Not much. I won't finish it for RDGC, but I can put Rush Hour as an entry.
I finished the buildings captures and gas comsumption.
Next thing is the submarines. If a unit find a hidden submarine in his path, it must be stopped next to it.

I must also finish my assembly version of Sokoban.

I'm busy with another contest, not TI relatead: http://infinitesearchspace.dyndns.org/

I just checked the date of the last modification: 28.07.11...
There are still 10984 bytes of memory to fill. :ponder:

I was planning to return working on it after I finish Nyog'Sothep.

I hear you my friend he he :grin: My last update stamp on Ultimate Planet is from 5/8/11... But I will eventually finish it because I have too much work invested in it. Re-familiarizing myself with the massive code will be a pain though.
Now what is Nyog'Sothep???
