I've read stories that people spent months and even as many as 16 years to beat the original rogue. It's certainly no cake walk. I did a lot of hit-and-runs and run-like-little-girls. I swear those monsters double their bloodlust upon grabbing the Amulet, although I didn't check the codes.

There are many things I wish to teach but I have so little time. Play around with LOCATE too. LOCATE 3,10:COLOR 3,8:PRINT "DERP GAME"

Huh? You just did right? The darkred background color. COLOR A,B A and B are both numbers from 0-15, A for foreground, B for background. (example: COLOR 3,8) You can also use labels starting with #T instead, such as COLOR #TYELLOW,#TRED Also, for the line SPOFS 0,150+X,100+Y You can play around with the numbers (don't change the 0), such as SPOFS 0,170-X*2,193+Y*3 Go crazy!

Where'd that INPUT at the end of line 3 come from? :/ Delete that. (I typed INC Y though doesn't matter much)

Show me your EDIT mode. You ARE typing the codes in EDIT mode and not this DIRECT mode, right?

SB is only available in North America, and Nintendo is starting to hide it because of all the h@x talk. Try typing "smile" in the eshop search bar.

I don't mind labels and GOTOs myself because it's easy to teach and does the job for a beginner. But you're right, if it's going to be a huge project or a refined game, not a good idea.

In the IF...THEN statement, you can "chain" multiple commands with a colon(:), so you can do your pretty COLOR and other stuff. You can't offset a sprite (SPOFS) without first SETTING the sprite (SPSET). It's like you can't eat dinner or pass plates around without setting your table. In my screenshot, I've set it up so whenever you press A the sprite will move diagonally down a little.

Um, baby steps. Let's get the basic down first. IF BUTTON(2)==#A THEN PRINT "You Win" means: "if the button A is momentarily pressed without repeating, print You Win". Don't change it to jibberish like 62. And we need to loop it (@LOOP... GOTO @LOOP) or SB will just end program.

Here. The @LOOP...GOTO @LOOP is necessary otherwise SmileBasic will just end program without waiting for your button press. VSYNC is to slow SmileBasic down to human speed.

(For those who want to play nRogue but didn't bother looking for the key, here it is: 4RK3CWQV)

You've been Trolololol'd! But man, your weapon and armor are all cursed... that's gotta hurt. I do like wearing a cursed Ring of Teleportation though, many times it warped me away from danger.

If nothing happens after you entered your 7-digit code at the gate, it's the wrong code. The Stick represents the 7th digit (since the red 7 is at the third position), and its description says "found on the conference table". Go back to the table and see where you found the stick (marked by a circle), and find the corresponding picture. It's the brown "2 7 5" strip, so the 7th digit is 2. Go on.

@McCutcheon: Click on my icon and read my latest journal. Then tell me how far you can go! @Pika Ryan: Like Gad said, he used MML. Lines 3704-3813 are the sound data, and 2865-2885 are codes to use that data.

It's the "last boss" so it's a hard one, but here's a hint: The "1 3 7 4 2 5 6" represents the positions in your item list. Now where did you get those items...? Go back and look!

[4RK3CWQV] Time to shake up the SB Miiverse with another game I translated -- Neko800's nRogue! Ah, the grandfather of ASCII-based dungeon hack RPG, the daunting quest of searching that Amulet of Nendor™ and returning safely, not to mention hundreds of hours wasted, flambéed by that ONE dastard Dragon... If you've never played a roguelike before, my dear young friend, now's the time!

This is SmileBASIC. Are you sure you're writing in BASIC and not some other language? It's like me writing in Japanese. May make sense to me but not to you.

The keypad for entering public keys and passcodes is also QWERTY right? So if a code says "ESYRT", it means "WATER" since you have to read one key to the left.

Your NNID is kearnodalyetsutriax. Odds only, evens out.

Aaand finally, this project includes the bonus game - Gravity Lab Zero! This is actually Villit's first work on this series, but plotwise this is the "sequel". What happens to Gravity Lab is up to you to find out. Ninety more exciting stages too! Again, key is EEY43D4, 7 characters.
