Dice game: ? (RND(6)+1)

Ok. Thanks. I'll look into it.

Can you tell me what software is used on the PC side?

yes. I did. Nothing to it but to throw dozens of algorithm and see which ones are good. :p It helps if you can think algo in your head without using a computer.

You'll probably want to use BGSCREEN command as well, so you don't run out of screen too early.

Try using BGANIM command. The help screen shows 3 different ways to do it. Just pick one you're comfortable with.

Permutation and maze generator are really useful algorithm. Do you know that you can use a modified maze generator code to solve path-finding? And you see in the code permutation is used to randomize the path. I'm thinking of entering the competition with this. Less fish. More ninja! VVVV \^v^/

It's a maze generator program! It can generate up to 199x119 resolution. That's the whole screen. Key is DEDE4R3

I meant 3D lookup table for AI, so you can optimized the play. But if maintaining y is good enough, then it's good enough. :D

I think you need to consider X and Y distance separately. Also SpeedY. So you'll need 3D array there. Is that how you do it? Cool! Keep up the good work!

Is that using COMMON? I need more research!

Updated version using VAR. Thanks, calc84! Looking good!

What does it mean "EXE PRG1:STDLIB"? Does that mean I can do a bunch of DEF SUB in it then execute another program, thus making it a library/toolkit of sorts?

Yep. It is messy. Some languages allow you to ignore them when doing function call, hence my earlier confusion. I'm still learning things, though. The normal way to do it is via explicit stack, but push/pop is an extra line. Array variable is an extra var. Of course, if you know of a better way, feel free to share! :D

Got it! It seems SB doesn't like uninitialized return variables. It's also picky regarding function call format. Oh, well. Keep on learning new things, I guess. :)

I'm having trouble changing the loop from FOR loop to WHILE loop. I keep getting error: Uninitialized variable in 0:11. Yet, the FOR loop version works just fine.

Looking at your Mii, I thought that was you even before reading your text. Funny, eh? I don't know what you look like. Still don't. I'm ultra busy since I take on a new job. I'd be lucky to get 1 hour per day. So far Pokemon Shuffle got it, but I may have to drop it soon in favor of this.

Eh, how did that picture get there? I already made a separate post on it. Sorry!

I changed the code to give me max power. It plays more like Faceball that way. I'm surprised the kitty can get killed by bomb. Thumbs up! Suggestion: Make sound for the monster, too. That way will give you the chills, especially if you cannot see it. A sudden attack from behind feels unfair to me.

I wrote a permutation code based on this info. Thanks, Ed!
