so uh i figured out mml so i'm gonna try to make some good music. it's not as hard as my tiny brain thought. also i did it mostly on my own. (edit because of afterthought) of course not WELL but i can make it make sound. but uh i would like to know how i can get a note to go longer than 1 cuz for some reason the higher a number gets the shorter the note gets.C1 plays a whole note. If you want it to get longer, change the speed with T, like T120 is the default, T60 is half the speed.
some might call it a stupid downgrade that overcomplicates things. i call it a stupid downgrade that overcomplicates things. just kidding i don't. i call it aesthetic changes and severely limiting controls to just one method of attack. in other words, a NESing.ok so i can probably handle random events on my own but like uh i'm gonna need help with a health system for both enemies and the player. and on second though if i can't handle it i'll probably need help with random events.With enemy and player health, just create a variable for them at the beginning of your code:
VAR PHEALTH=50'Create variable. This is assuming you want their health to be 50. VAR ENHEALTH=50If you want to fight multiple enemies at once, you can use an array:
VAR PHEALTH=50'Create variable DIM EHEALTH[max number of enemies]'create array FOR I=0 TO LEN(EHEALTH)-1'Set array values EHEALTH[I]=50 NEXTThen, every time someone gets hit, you decrease the value of that variable by how much damage that hit does. When it reaches or goes below zero, you kill that person/thing:
IF PHEALTH<=0 THEN PDEAD DEF PDEAD 'Death code goes here 'You will want to reset their health or they will keep dying. ENDIt might be helpful to have a healthmax variable, so that you can increase the maximum health.
VAR PHEALTHMAX=50 VAR PHEALTH=PHEALTHMAX WHILE 1'Main loop VSYNC IF PHEALTH>PHEALTHMAX THEN PHEALTH=PHEALTHMAX WENDThis demonstrates how you can set the player health as its maximum. In the WHILE loop, it shows how to keep the health from going over. I hope this helps.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS UPDATE: i am in the process of re-overhauling and re-redesigning the visuals as well as formulating a story and world. i have made 4 music tracks: 3 boss themes and mediocre desert music. the current state of affairs is: i need help on programming a top-down adventure RPG, possibly even outsourcing some of it. the battle system is still incomplete but in due time i suppose. so if there's anything you can do please help me.Top down is kinda hard for me to explain. All I can say is, make it so that the player can move up, down, left, and right. Then BGGET is useful for BG to SP collision if you are using BG.
