not yet, though programming it is going quickly

a simple battle mechanic in the front end, fairly complex code in the back end...(at least, I think it is)

Workaround: I just used the N variable instead. But I'm still curious.

Why does the variable X reset its value upon returning to DEF Morale, whereas other variables retain their value (such as N)?

Creating this text-based adventure to practice writing DEFs. Already created a simple one that prints out items in your inventory... so far so good.

Thanks all, I have the story all fleshed out, it's just a matter of time to code it all. I'm almost done with chapter 1, then I'll clean it up some and release it as the demo.

I wrote a brief chapter-by-chapter summary of my rpg. It'll be ~12 chapters. Here's the prologue. It's not very descrptive though

yeah I have the bg scaled 2x because the dungeon is more maze-like and I don't want the player to see more of the map (bc that would reveal the correct paths, etc.) I am rethinking the dungeons to make them longer/puzzling to accommodate the short-ish story

A coffin lol

Like many others, I'm making an rpg. We'll see where this goes

layer,x-start,y-start,x-end,y-end,screen data (aka tile number found in the smile tool)

ya I've considered that but I need to decide on the battle menu design before letting players choose name (so i can add proper name length limitations as to not mess up formatting)

I've never worked with the wave tool, sorry

2/2 background scrolling and animating sprite to move along the map

1/2 Not sure if I understand your question but I'll try to answer. Loading a map

My characters need names lol suggestions? Context: it's an rpg of sorts and I'm not fan of over-the-top fantasy names

Bottom screen is a little empty, but the right side will display enemy details when they are targeted. First line of sprites shows debuffs, second line shows buffs

I tried out your code and got a type mismatch. However, it worked fine after removing the white space between 1207 and the next ANS. I don't think spanim processes white space so you'll have to keep the animation data in a single line

oops I made a mistake, I think wait has to be equal to the frame number in spanim

Could you screenshot the bit of code? The thing that comes to mind right now is that if you have the full SPANIM wrapped in a WHILE loop. That would prevent it from playing unless you do something like WHILE 1'or whatever I=I+1 IF I>(whatever I+3 is) THEN I=(base value) SPANIM 1,"I",4,I,1 WAIT 1 WEND Hope you find the issue soon.
