Slayers Engine Development
| This is the current Progress of the Graphical Storyline and RPG Engine, otherwise known as the Slayers Engine.
As of right now, only the Dialog, Enlargement, Walking Menu and some inventory controls are fully functional. Buying,
Selling and fighting engines are still in design phase and no code has been developed at this time for those particular
parts of the engine. |
 This is a test of the text box control,
which is the primary core of the Slayers Engine What this screenshot is showing is the Slayers Engine Poping dialog
as fast as it can, one picture transition, two picture transition,a Enlarge picture set at 70% size, a fade to
picture test, four level greyscale, pause, timed pause, and then It executes the menu control. the data file that
executes these tasks is only 884 bytes |
 This is another animated picture. This
one is the Slayers Engine Enlargement Control. It basically shows an X picture enlarging and stretching to 2x it's
normal size. Some parts of the control doesn't have support above 1x picture sizes, so the picture breaks up when
it's enlarged over 1x in some places. |
 This is a Test of the Walk Control. This
example is using a lot of the pictures and Characters from Legend of Landel. It Uses a similar moving scheme to
Final Fantasy VII but now has backrounds and collision detection. This engine can handle in it's current form 1000
seperate rooms. It can also handle items placed on the board and character storyline, but that has not been developed
yet. |
 This is a test of the animation control
built into the slayers engine. The animations that you see were originally from Punisher X treme. Keep in mind
that this particular animation control differs from the standard built in cyclepic command. It can place animation
wherever I want it to be on the screen as well as reuse picture frames in order to save as much memory as possible.
The Animated Image seems to be slower than the animation on calc. |
 This is a picture of what the inventory
menu will be like. it's not totally finished but the basics are there. All the program currently does is show the
inventory as well as the description for the item. In the middle of the screen most likely will be stats for the
RPG characters. The SORTING INVENTORY message means that the inventory is sorted by frequently used Items currently
in the inventory. It was already sorted however when this picture was made. |
 This is a test of grayscale animation using
a combination of the Grayscale and Animation control. TiShot does not handle this well at all, so I had to actually
slow down the animation and edit the frames of the generated gif file to make it look somewhat correct and at the
right speed. On an actual calculator flicker is unnoticable. It was originally an animated gif of Goku that I converted
into an animated and grayscale format. Generally speaking, this is not RAM friendly, and takes up roughly 70K on
the calculator. Like all the other controls, no ASM, ASM Library or ASM Exec calls are used to generate this. |
