[03:36:22] @ Kuro-chan/rizon well said, fake kuro!

[03:36:34] @ Kuro-chan/rizon o/

[03:37:23] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I still have some left

[03:37:35] @ Kuro-chan/rizon nice, delicious oatmeal rai--- I mean, CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies

[06:09:02] @ Kuro-chan/rizon PROTECT THE DUCKY! /o/

[06:20:09] @ Kuro-chan/rizon praise be to the duck goddess for allowing of your followers to flee

[16:51:42] @ Kuro-chan/rizon that'll make CT mad.

[16:51:43] @ Kuro-chan/rizon :|

[16:52:46] @ Kuro-chan/rizon 🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑

[16:53:09] @ Kuro-chan/rizon :(

[16:54:02] @ Kuro-chan/rizon ＼( °ヮ° )／ＰＲＡＩＳＥＢＥ！

[16:54:09] @ Kuro-chan/rizon headache, day two.

[16:54:13] @ Kuro-chan/rizon though it's nowhere near as bad

[16:54:52] @ Kuro-chan/rizon (っ°⌣(˘⌣˘ ) ＨＵＧＧＬＥＳ！

[16:55:34] @ Kuro-chan/rizon me sets out another plate of cookies.

[16:55:38] @ Kuro-chan/rizon That's all I have til I bake more

[16:56:39] @ Kuro-chan/rizon why is it setting up arrays and using eval() to execute them when given a value is less code than freakin switch/case setups...?

[16:58:03] @ Kuro-chan/rizon with my project, code efficiency is less important than trying to keep the byte count down

[17:00:40] @ Kuro-chan/rizon it's a game for a browser.

[17:00:43] @ Kuro-chan/rizon the target is 64kb

[17:00:54] @ Kuro-chan/rizon however, my pacman clone was 100kb

[17:01:04] @ Kuro-chan/rizon even with an oscillator setup for music and sound effects

[17:01:31] @ Kuro-chan/rizon and it included 60 in-game maps (which was a third of the source code)

[17:01:45] @ Kuro-chan/rizon But I am pulling every trick I can think of and then some to try and keep the overall filesize of everything down.

[17:02:19] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I have resource editors I built that export raw binary files

[17:02:24] @ Kuro-chan/rizon which I use as source data

[17:02:37] @ Kuro-chan/rizon i use js to build the graphics

[17:04:33] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I dunno if I can really compress the raw binary files anymore then it already is

[17:04:40] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I found a way to knock my map file size in half.

[17:05:05] @ Kuro-chan/rizon by doing 2 values per byte, though it limits each room to 16 available tiles.

[17:06:59] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I have about 11kb to still work with. I got the rpg setup so the whole world is built, shops work, npcs can be talked to, chests can be opened, the battle system has been started but needs expansion

[17:07:46] @ Kuro-chan/rizon wouldn't know where to start

[17:08:08] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I can come up with some weird ideas, but I am no pro at this

[17:09:18] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I'd rather not drop this challenge. I'd like to stick with it and get it done

[17:10:20] @ Kuro-chan/rizon It's 64kb, is isn't going to be some wild, open world rpg. :P

[17:10:27] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I'll be doing well if this plays at all

[17:10:50] @ Kuro-chan/rizon It's not going to be a ginormous game, for obvious reasons

[17:11:02] @ Kuro-chan/rizon if I had 16more kb it would be the size of the first dragon quest game

[17:11:12] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I could make a bigger overworld with that

[17:12:12] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I have made some smaller games: pacman clone, tetris clone, columns clone, some card games

[17:13:00] @ Kuro-chan/rizon so for resources, a 128x128 tileset that is 2-color costs me 2kb

[17:13:19] @ Kuro-chan/rizon 4-color is 4kb, 8-color is 6kb, 16-color is 8kb and 32-color is 10kb

[17:13:46] @ Kuro-chan/rizon my resource editor can handle 32-color sprites

[17:14:14] @ Kuro-chan/rizon only problem with 4-color is it only leaves 3 for sprites. :(

[17:15:26] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I find with javascript, if you pre-render your canvas sheets with tile and sprite setups, it goes a long way towards your refresh when animating the game

[17:15:33] @ Kuro-chan/rizon PURPLE!

[17:16:30] @ Kuro-chan/rizon css can manipulate the upscaling so that it's pixel perfect as you resize. With the Ys-I launch game I redid for browser gameplay, I set a default size, scaled zoom and full screen size.

[17:16:39] @ Kuro-chan/rizon and it didn't look fuzzy

[17:17:55] @ Kuro-chan/rizon and platforms like sharp x1 (non-turbo) only gave you 2x 128x128 8-color sheets to work with

[17:18:08] @ Kuro-chan/rizon the first one normally reserved for character sets, ascii shapes, etc.

[17:18:18] @ Kuro-chan/rizon so games had to be creative in making good use of that first sheet

[17:19:22] @ Kuro-chan/rizon it was ripping sprites from zeliard for x1 that game me ideas on how to do up an 8-color tile system with my projects.

[17:19:47] @ Kuro-chan/rizon which also lead to the 32-color setup

[17:20:03] @ Kuro-chan/rizon 16 was easy, do a %16 , /16 split on the value

[17:20:29] @ Kuro-chan/rizon 4 was a little tougher: %4, /4%4, /16%4 and /64%4

[17:20:43] @ Kuro-chan/rizon dither was why gameboy games looked as good as they did

[17:21:34] @ Kuro-chan/rizon 8-color was then it got weird. divide each RGB into it's separate colour values, then group 8 of them into a byte, thus 8 values becomes 3 bytes

[17:22:05] @ Kuro-chan/rizon or in my case, since I wasn't using RGB, divvy up the 8-color palette into x1, x2 and x4

[17:22:43] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I remember watching a video of someone teaching someone how to make a tic tac toe game while showing people how using x2, x4, x8 etc allows you to create unique values that cannot accidentally be duplicated

[17:23:19] @ Kuro-chan/rizon it was a good video to watch; had a few good ideas, but a lot of the time i was like, "Oh I can do that with a fraction of the code" :/

[17:23:20] @ Kuro-chan/rizon lol

[17:24:20] @ Kuro-chan/rizon with my palette system setup and oscillator-based music system, it's certainly possible to mimic the appearance and feel of making a gameboy game with my browser games.

[17:24:55] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I decided to go with 15-bit colour system since it gives me 5 values for R, G and B each, with a palette range of 32,768 colours.

[17:25:04] @ Kuro-chan/rizon and can fit a colour into 2 bytes

[17:25:22] @ Kuro-chan/rizon though my system only allows for 256 possible palettes

[17:25:33] @ Kuro-chan/rizon otherwise I would have to rebuild it to expand the concept

[17:26:40] @ Kuro-chan/rizon like 3R, 3G and 2B, thus only using 1 byte?

[17:26:57] @ Kuro-chan/rizon well

[17:27:07] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I don't go through an insane number of palettes when I make projects.

[17:27:23] @ Kuro-chan/rizon so on average I would be saving something like 60 bytes in a setup if I knocked down the colours like that

[17:28:22] @ Kuro-chan/rizon https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972266918658592769/997240227628335135/unknown.png

[17:28:36] @ Kuro-chan/rizon There's a sample of my editor

[17:29:08] @ Kuro-chan/rizon looks a lot better than it used to

[17:29:44] @ Kuro-chan/rizon https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972266918658592769/996461346063401160/unknown.png

[17:35:31] @ Kuro-chan/rizon https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972266918658592769/1002267976990478448/unknown.png

[17:35:47] @ Kuro-chan/rizon but then you could make honey

[17:38:17] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I try to treat coding a project as a bunch of little projects

[17:40:46] @ Kuro-chan/rizon need to get inventory items working. headache yesterday messed me up. ._.

[17:41:15] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I am still alive.

[17:41:17] @ Kuro-chan/rizon o.o;

[17:41:22] @ Kuro-chan/rizon sega master system palette

[17:41:26] @ Kuro-chan/rizon 64 colours! :D :D

[17:41:27] @ Kuro-chan/rizon lol

[17:42:36] @ Kuro-chan/rizon thanks

[17:43:03] @ Kuro-chan/rizon so for using items like a potion, I need to check for 4 things: hp, mp, status and boost

[17:43:19] @ Kuro-chan/rizon hp and mp is easy enough. the last two require me to break the byte check up in 8 bits

[17:44:16] @ Kuro-chan/rizon still need to setup something for loading/saving games

[17:45:34] @ Kuro-chan/rizon PROTECT THE DUCKY! :(

[17:46:16] @ Kuro-chan/rizon :(

[17:46:29] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I'll survie

[17:46:31] @ Kuro-chan/rizon *ve

[17:46:33] @ Kuro-chan/rizon but the ducky won't

[17:47:49] @ Kuro-chan/rizon Thanks Piba!

[17:48:20] @ Kuro-chan/rizon hmm, this tastes a bit different to be chicken...

[17:48:22] @ Kuro-chan/rizon o.o;

[17:48:49] @ Kuro-chan/rizon AGH!

[17:48:52] @ Kuro-chan/rizon o.o;

[17:49:18] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I didn't shoot the ducky!

[17:49:20] @ Kuro-chan/rizon :(

[17:49:36] @ Kuro-chan/rizon ;-;

[17:49:45] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I try to protect duckies

[17:50:10] @ Kuro-chan/rizon I have leftover roast from a couple nights ago. need to figure out what I want to make with it

[17:52:48] @ Kuro-chan/rizon Was that the version I sent?

[17:53:01] @ Kuro-chan/rizon doesn't look like it

[17:53:57] @ Kuro-chan/rizon aw ok

[17:54:11] @ Kuro-chan/rizon ahh ok

[17:54:32] @ Kuro-chan/rizon :)

[17:54:33] @ Kuro-chan/rizon yay

[17:58:15] @ Kuro-chan/rizon Thank you so much! \o/

[18:02:22] @ Kuro-chan/rizon duckyyyyyy

[18:22:58] @ Kuro-chan/rizon greetings

[18:23:12] @ Kuro-chan/rizon hi hi

[19:48:29] @ Kuro-chan/rizon moo

[19:49:49] @ Kuro-chan/rizon meh, pretty much all my extended family want nothing to do with me

[19:50:03] @ Kuro-chan/rizon unless they want something

[19:50:08] @ Kuro-chan/rizon then suddenly I exist

[19:50:13] @ Kuro-chan/rizon It's hilarious how obvious it is

[19:50:17] @ Kuro-chan/rizon Who is?

[19:50:34] @ Kuro-chan/rizon Wait, Poul knows where I live...?

[19:50:35] @ Kuro-chan/rizon o.o;
