This is great! Good use of space.

Nice, thanks for the ideas! I'll give these tips a try and let you know what I come up with.

Yep! This is a text console game.

Yes, you can use chkchr$() to check what character is at a certain position in the console. It does indeed work like that. I rely upon that for a lot of other redraw functions elsewhere but it's not working too well here.

By the above I mean: I'm just doing an overlap check using chkchr$() on the literally-drawn stuff. Someone elsewhere gave me the idea to put it all into a two-dimensional array first.

Here's the bottom screen. I am starting to think that it'd be a better idea to abstract this out into a 2 dimensional array and do the checks there before drawing at all. That's just going to take another rewrite.

My overlap checking code is frustratingly only working SOMETIMES. Can't quite figure out why.

Dungeon room generation continues...

Nice! Yeah, I think that's my favorite part of SmileBASIC. You can do so much with so little. It's very encouraging for me while I'm learning it.

In the editor, hold down L, and tap the 'save' button that should be near the upper-left of the touchscreen.

Good idea! The one published project I have is a heavily-commented 'button tester/input example' type thing - I always start by writing these things for myself but then clean them up and add tons of comments, in case they'd help anyone else out. I might do the same for arrays and push/pop/shift/unshift (as you can tell, I'm pretty new to SmileBASIC).

Thanks! That's super handy.

Thanks!! Yep, it's from scratch. For each room, I'm basically defining a random (within limits) upper-left coordinate, then a lower-right (based on the upper-left) and then drawing each wall and filling the room.

Started porting my mapgens over. Currently, as you can see, the rooms don't care if they overlap! Whoops.

Well, for instance, you could do something like: have a 'redraw' part in the main @loop that checks to see how many steps the snake has taken and what length it should be, and then 'remove' the ones that are 'stale'. I know there's a built-in counter in smilebasic but in this case you'd probably just want to set one yourself: just do like c=0 before the @loop, and then do a C + 1.

This is awesome! I'm dreading writing mapgen for my game.

I'd define a length var, then use a while or for loop to draw the snake at the right length.

There have been a few FNAF games for sb. Search for five nights at petit's.

Yay! Bottom screen log window works! Now to add some other windows/panels...
