I mention in the video that the next video will be another DDM update. I will still get that one out in a couple weeks but I forgot that I have a Commodore 64 repair video almost finished as well so that may come out next week before the DDM one.

Lol Scotty, I was trying to remember that word and my brain failed me. Yes my code was vert spaghetti. The re-write on the surface map code ended up MUCH better and will be in the next video.

Waterfall sounds like a system from the 70's where people had limited computer time

It was a blessing and a curse. My freshman year we had 2 apple IIs and a TRS-80 in a closet. By the time I graduated in 1982 we had a classroom with about a dozen apple II plus' on a shared Winchester drive. Since computer classes were considered math I ended up with very little math in my high school education.

I started something similar on the zx spectrum. It took me a while to learn how to dereference a pointer. So I could have pointers to character's stats. I haven't bothered with a map or saving yet

well you are ahead of me! I have no idea what dereferencing a pointer is :)

@@RavenWolfRetroTech I suppose the best example is a character's inventory. You'd have eight slots in bard's tale. In assembly this would be eight memory addresses for each character.because you define what items are in assembly,like a sword,a mace, and a wand. Now you have three addresses,one for the sword one for the mace ,one for the wand. But these are just lists of stats for each item. So a sword would be 6,2,6 in memory for example 6 damage,2 resilience,6 weight So inventory slot 1 would be two bytes, because a memory address is a sixteen bit number. So if character 1 was holding a sword in slot 1. You copy the memory address of the description of the sword to where you have character 1's first inventory slot. So later, when you want to find out the weight of the item in character 1's first item slot you have to follow where the memory address leads that was copied to slot 1. Then get the weight. The memory address that was copied is called a pointer. The act of going to the location in memory is called dereferencing.

@Lbf5677 10 ай бұрын
So here's a concrete example: In your assembler you create a label called 'sword description ' Then type in 6,2,6 for the stats. Later when a character picks up a sword you just copy the address of the label to the character's inventory.

You might already be doing it but calling it something else, because you're able to know which dungeon is at which map location.
