Scratch

That is something that will take like 10 minutes to fix and I don't feel like its that important at the moment so its staying in for the time being.

Just heard from a reliable source who went to scratch day at MIT that Scratch 2.0 will have some wicked new features that can greatly improve the chance of success for this project. It should come out sometime this summer.

Features mentioned: Cloning (proper tile maps very likely to be possible)
Build you own blocks (AKA functions, like a real language!)

Features I really hope are there:
Tables (AKA multidimentional arrays)
the rest of the missing math functions
Stop lagging the editor when blocks build up
saving!
others that elude me right now

Regardless of what happens, this is getting recoded when v2 is here

Yeah, also if they put in everything it needs the code will shrink by like 50% and it will run quickly.

Depends, what kinds of things can you help with

I'm still here.

Ok, in any case, the program will need to be remade when v2 comes out. So you can work on this a bit more if you want and I can give you instructions and help a bit. Or you can wait for v2 to come out and perhaps learn AS3 and make an RPG in that, I can send you some links if you need.

I'm not sure if I have time right now.
I have finals next week and then after that, I'm going on a trip somewhere for another week.

Just thought I'd give this a random bump before it gets lost in the sea of topics.

Sorry about the somewhat late post.
Right now, I have a bunch of summer homework stuff to do, so I probably won't be able to work for that much right now.

Overall, most of the basic stuff of the battle system is complete. There are attacking moves, stat-raising and lowering moves, status changing moves, multi-hit moves, attacks that can inflict status effects, and OHKO moves. The only thing missing is attacks that can lower stats, and other unique moves.

I'd rather work on stuff like movesets when v2 comes out, as it's near impossible to work on that now without multi-dimensional arrays.

The only other things to do is to add more pokemon and change the interface to resemble more like an actual pokemon game, but I think it's probably better to do that after the battle system is finished.

I guess I'll just work on finishing attacks that lower and raise stats for now.

omg, super necro post. archmage and those other guys haven't gone on scratch for like a year.
