Wargame?

[kinktoy]

I think I've decided on my next project, but I'm not certain.  

I know right now that after discovering all the assembly RPGs and such, I know that there is absolutely no way mine can compare.  Even if it ended up being the absolute best BASIC RPG ever, it couldn't touch ASM.  SoOOOOoOoOOoOoo...

My plan now is to finish up my RPG as quickly as possible, and move on to a wargame.  The only thing keeping my RPG alive in my mind is that I need it to set up the story behind my wargame, and plus I wanted to do a remake after I learn ASM.

I'm thinking the wargame should have the following:

Story
Detailed Mission Descriptions
Military Advisors

Gameplay
4-6 Campaigns, 2-4 missions each
Terrain Effects Combat
Buildings/Cities, not sure exactly
Multiple Unit types
Intimate battles, watch soldiers duke it out
Battle tactics, soldiers can be told how to react
? ? ? Custom maps ? ? ?

Graphics
5x5 Tiles
Total screen is 9x15
Battles will be animated

System
Omnicalc Required
Flash Gordon/Guardian Required
TI-BASIC

Alright, that's all I got for the moment.  I don't really think I gave justice to what I was thinking of, but it's hard to put down exactly what's in your head.  

If anything, I'd like to change everything in the system section, but I'm not sure if I'm really capable.

that sounds a lot like the red alert project i'm working on...if it's cool with everyone else on the project...why don't u join us?

[kinktoy]

Well, I'm not too certain how helpful I'd be able to be.  I'm not exactly the fastest coder in the world, mainly because of school.  

I'd like to help if I can, tho.  What is Red Alert going to be coded in?

[Chris]

it'll be in BASIC, btw we're gonna do 8*8 tiles, so that we can use omnicalc's sprite, everyone else on the project please post here if it's cool if he joins

[Andrew]

Am I on the team (you're never on to tell me updates Chirs). Get online! Its up to him, if he wants to be part of a group effort some of the glory is lost for all of us, but if he's alone he gets full credit...wouldn't bother me tho.

*Yawnz*

Glory?  There's glory in this?  Where?  

I'd like to help if I can, although nights like this and the butt end of school is coming up and I'm struggling so I can get into a Pre-AP class I really wanna take, all that could jack me up a little...  

And just curious, what does the difference between 5x5 and 8x8 tiles make so far as the sprite( command is concerned?  Can't the actual size be however large you want, just as long as the original locations are in multiples of 8?  

[Chris]

true, but cause of places like ticalc.org who let anyone upload programs, ALL the glory is already taken out of BASIC programming, otherwise i wouldn't have asked him to join

Hey guys, it's me, checking in for about the first time in a month...  

Just a little bit of a guess, but I don't think Ima be much help.

[Chris]

hehehehehehe, k, btw what happened to ur HUGE ego that i was making fun of a while ago?

[kinktoy]

It left me, right along with the hours of sleep, game time, and time for g/f I've lost of the past month due to working I disagree off in school for the past month.  

*Hopes and prays he'll back on the scene after this weekend*

(Stupid proboards needs a sleepy smiley...   )

Just a note, I noticed something really cool today!  Well, it's stupid, but it makes me think something could be done with it.  Turn the darkness on an 83 plus all the way up, then fill the all but the bottom right corner of the screen with 0's.  Take note of what it does, and that the screen has a slightly deceptive look of color to it (Not much I know, DARK blue and putrid green/grey at best, but interesting I think).  I'm kinda curious about how this could be used.

"Working I disagree off"

Oh yes, it took me quite a while to think up THAT one...
