    Hello all.

    I've got a problem with the memory on Colecovision. When you use sprites you use rle2ram to move data on Ram to Vram. But can i use the method for an template in ascii or the something like as ?

     

    This is a sample cave's code for design the template room

    const byte ways202 []={0x20,0x20,0x20,0x5C,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x20,0x2F,0x20,0x20,0x20};

    I think all along the game i fill Ram or Vram and after some minutes the game crash.

    Beta 3 soon available
    The next Beta Version will be available on november 2015.
    A lot of new features and game play like the Warlock and The Gobelin.
    A loot system has been implemented when meeting mobs.
    Game evolution, instead of randomize loot, try to remember the displaying sequence for loot items.

    Hello all

     

    I try to understand how using the fill_color command

    For example ;
fill_color ('S',0x50,1);

    'S' is the starting Character

    0x50 is a blue color

    And 1 is the next Character, Just S in this example

     

    But ! Where can i found a table for the code of color ?

    Hello all,

     

    I've got another problem, a strange problem. I use two variables. The first for a score and the second for some potion. There are identical by the type. But score can increase and potion stay to 0...

     

    What's wrong ?

     

    /* DEFINIE VARIABLES HERE */
unsigned int score;
unsigned int potion;

...

/*POTION*/
void findpotion()
{
cls (); // Clear Screen
show_score();
center_string (3,"YOU FIND A POTION");
center_string (17,"YOU WIN 200 pts");
center_string (23,"PRESS FIRE");
delay (50);
pause();
score = score + 200;
potion = potion + 1;
engine();
}

...

/* SHOW SCORE & POTION*/
void show_score()
{
print_at(0,0,"Score"); put_at(6,0,str(score),5);
print_at(14,0,"Potion"); put_at(21,0,str(potion),1);
}
...

void main()
{
/* DEFINE SCREEN MODE */
screen_mode_2_text(); // DEFINE SCREEN MODE
fill_vram0(0x2000,0x1800,0xf0);
/* DEFINE ASCII TEXT */
upload_default_ascii(NORMAL);
duplicate_pattern();
/* ASSIGNATION POTION 1 IN BEGINNING GAME */
potion =1;
/* START NEXT FUNCTION HERE */
splashscreen (); // CALL SPLASHSCREEN FUNCTION
}
