ZEM THE GECKO

An RPG for the TI 83+ calculator system

Story:

Well... there isn't really a story just for the games as a group, but there is a basic gist of it. You are Zem the Gecko,
a small and semi-skilled Gecko. You have gotten bored with sitting in your cage and waiting to be fed, so you've struck out
on your own. Along the way, you will obtain mighty weapons and armor(for a gecko anyways), and smite various foes, ranging
from a humble horsefly to a mighty pirate. Plus, if you get bored, most people will be willing to play Rock Paper Scissors.

Gameplay:

Here's how to start. First, you'll need to create a matrix in [A] that's 10x3. Next, you'll need to create three string files 
in Str7, 8, and 9. Then, run prgmZEM. This will start up the first section of Zem the Gecko. Next, you must go to either
Play Game, or Mini Game. Mini Game is Rock Paper Scissors. Play Game will ask you whether you want to start a new game, or
load an old game with your powerful level 400 gecko. After you've chosen your gecko, prgmZEM will end, and it will prompt a
loading of a game level. Right now, there's only prgmDEMO. The game will open, after a short intro. Here's the controls:

All:

ENTER- Select option/continue

Map:

Arrows- Move Zem (looks like a small Z)
MODE: Use special ability (dig, right now)
MATH: Check stats, save

Battles:
(note: the battle engine for this game is nigh identical to Summoner's Duel, also on ticalc.org.)

Arrows: Select choice
Numbers: Select choice

Levels:

Currently, there is only prgmDEMO, the introductory level. Later there may be some new levels. However, if you already beat
the first level and are getting bored, YOU can make your own level easily! Little programming knowledge is required!

Step 1: Draw a map with the DRAW menu, and store it as Pic2. Note that Zem can only be stopped by walls made on even
coordinates, so Zem can't pass (-52, 64), but he can pass (-53, 65), (-54, 65), or (-53, 64).

Step 2: Enter the prgmDEMO editing screen (or better yet, save prgmDEMO as something else, and edit it) and head to the
parts where "If F=-blah and G=blahs:Then" where F is the Y-coordinates and G is the X-coordinates of this special locale, 
and change the "blah" to whatever you want, then mess around with the script.

Step 3: Change the lists that define enemies, their graphics, and their names from the editing or DRAW screen.

Step 4: Test your creation, and teach others to play Zem the Gecko, or torture their experienced geckos with powerful enemies
and demonic traps.

Credits:
Much like Summoner's Duel, minimal credit is needed. Pretty much, thanks to kionfirewolf@aol.com and his pet, the real Zem,
for the help and inspiration they gave. And that's it.
