= Some good tips =
There is my final words and some good ideas.
Personal opinion of ZAPI83
OK. You want my opinion... well I wont say
that it's the better program from TI83 I ever seen before!!! It's a
good present for all TI's 83 sceners :) ZAPI83 will made Basic
programming more interesting and powerful and you know that. My
message that go with zapi83 is that you don't make programs only for
post them. When you make a good program/game post it don't post
programs to say just 'hello world!!' This programs will be in the
future zapi83 home page, where you can download programs/games made
with zapi83 and some example...
Other message is about RPG's. Do you know that the
RPG make some times nervous. I start hate them. I want say that I
don't like them ( I play Pokemon!!!) I hate the way that people are
start make with RPG. For example ARPG. You know it? It's the best
think to do RPG's for TI-83/83+ I like the program (I never did a
RPG with ARPG), I like the way that guy made ARPG. But I don't like
other thinks like this: You open ticalc.org ... do see the new
programs...and you see a new program for TI83 in Assembly(ion).
Before the ARPG appears I think: 'well, another program/game in
assembly...uhhm I need see it. IT'S a NOTICE a NEW program in
assembly!!' some think like this... and now.. what start happen is
that you see a new Assembly(ion) game and you think something like
my think in ''. when you see that is a ARPG... ok enough
Q:What I want say with this?
A&Q: Stop doing RPG?
My answer: NO, what I want say it's that you when planning
make one RPG with ZAPI83 start really planning, don't start make. If
you are going make a new (n.e.w. with the mean of the word) RPG, ok
start, want help? mail me. If you want make one 'simple' game that
you say that is a zelda or is a Final Fantasy RPG stop.
bhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Stop. Don't try make anything... Delete the
zapi83 from your computer!
Conclusion: or is a GOOD RPG or NOT.
I hope I hadn't offense anyone with that my
thinks...but..sorry.
PrgmZZAPI
You need to create that program in order run ZAPI83
you read it in the Tutorial number 1. If you don't are programming a
fast code, or the speed of the program is no the problem... I mean..
like RPG or puzzle games... you don't need very speed. So what I
recommend you is add to program ZZAPI some of the thinks below to
reduce the risk of crashing your machine.
You var X need always to be >1 so you can add
that line in the prgmZZAPI so if any time the x<1 it will be
generated an error like this: If X<1:** ERROR
You can add a line for all vars used in the zapi83
I recommend add some thing like this before the
"If (Var)<1:** ERROR" (Var is a system var like X or Y)
int(Var)->(Var) so you will have always integer numbers.
When you use Rectangle Filled I recommend you use
another program to call prgmZZAPI and make the need vars( D;E;H;L)
positive and integer; Like this:
# - means different
If D<0:0->D
If E<0:0->E
If H<0:0->H
If L<0:0->L
If D>94:94->D
If E>63:63->E
If H>94:94->H
If L>63:63->L
Int(D)->D
Int(E)->E
Int(H)->H
Int(L)->L
If (C#0) and (C#1) and (C#2):** ERROR **
If (Y#1) and (Y#0):** ERROR **
Programming with ZAPI83
uhhmm something bad...programming...well.. if you
don't know programmig learn :) What you want I say?
Ok I will tell you a secret: when you program something with zapi83
make a lot of backups with the last things programmed,before you run
the program... Why? Imagine you calc. crashes... :( ops...you
said... :) Think about that...
