I'm actually asking blue for help???

Edit: Should probably draw a picture or something, the muliplying is tough to visualize unless you've done it before

Okay, here goes. The attachment should be at the bottom of this post.

Fig. A is the basis for planning everything. For icons or whatever, it's usually much, much easier to have odd numbers for the width/height so you can plan for the Offset (Fig B.) Actually the Offset involves rounding (I THINK it's ceil(x/2)) but using odd numbers just makes everything so much simpler. Fig 3. is used to help you understand all this math I get to put down. OKAY THEN


In the [####:Whatever] variable type of stuff, the #### is implied and doesn't help you much anyway since you'll be using different numbers. So I don't use numbers, just the names. Comments are in green, don't need the "Comment" thing in there.

The below code is incomplete because there's really no way to build the code until I know how the skills are obtained and if they're going to be known via switches or variables and how the cursor is going to be done (is it going to be via changing a picture, or is it going to be a selection target that surrounds the picture and glows or something, or is it going to be the good old "pointing finger" selection thing.)

Main Menu Part -- Initialize variables so you can change spacing and size easily. -- Offset/Spacing are obvious, VarIconMax is the last block that you use (See Fig C on the attachment) <> Variable [VarIconOffset] = 5 <> Variable [VarIconSpacing] = 10 <> Variable [VarIconMax] = 44 <> Variable [VarIconTop] = 50 <> Variable [VarIconLeft] = 50 -- --------------------------------------- <> Now it is time to place the icons CursorPlacer (called) -- Assumes: [VarCursorLocation] is where the cursor should go, in a "23" or whatever format. <> FFFFFFFFFF GetVirtCoords (called) -- Assumes: [VarBlockNum] is something like "22" -- Returns: [VarRealX], [VarRealY] -- --------------------------------------- -- Variable Init <> [VarVirtY] = 0 <> [VarVirtX] = 0 -- --------------------------------------- <> [VarVirtY] = [VarBlockNum] MOD 10 <> [VarVirtX] = [VarBlockNum] - [VarVirtY] <> [VarRealX] = [VarRealX] / 10 <> GetRealCoords (called) -- Assumes: [VarVirtX] and [VarVirtY] have been set correctly -- Returns: [VarRealX], [VarRealY] -- --------------------------------------- -- Variable Init <> [VarRealY] = 0 <> [VarRealX] = 0 -- --------------------------------------- <> [VarRealY] = [VarVirtY] * [VarIconSpacing] <> [VarRealY] = [VarRealY] + [VarIconOffset] <> [VarRealY] = [VarRealY] + [VarIconTop]
