@brad here is the bg engine i promised key:
4KXJXX43
it will be put on miiverse publicly in a few days. so you are the first to try it. as always, if you have any questions, post them.
I'm sure it's possible. Just add a menu and have the keyboard appear, and an input loop until they type quit or a cheat. Probably the most difficult thing would be making the text no go outside the console window
A lot of people ask these kinds of questions. I'm going to make a program that teaches maps. Don't know how long that will take me, but you'll be the first to get it, assuming you can wait. I could have it done within a week.
Basically, it goes something like this,
Spchar ID out x,y,u,v,w,h,a
Spchar ID x,y,u,v,w,#vflip
I forgot what the # name is but the ? Button has a list of attributes. What this code does is read the information of a sprite (where on the sp sheet it is,size of the Image) and then places a sprite with the same information, but flipped
DI stands for the direction that the sprite is facing, && is another way to type AND, and the movements are gosubs because that is how I organize my thoughts.
If button (0) and 16 then ...
The first number in button is the feature, such as repeat. The second number is not needed unless you have multiplayer. Button will equal a number when that button is pressed, like 16 (a), 1(up). You can also use the # numbers. Like #up, #a
