Goto used practically

tehqed 30 Oct 2010 01:45

In my game's main loop, if a certain conditional true then it will trigger a huge subprogram.
When the game's completed, and I copy the code from the subprogram into the main game, it would take up a lot of space. If the conditional is false, and it commonly is, the calculator would have to spend a long time skipping all of the lines of the subprogram to get to the End.

So would this work without any memory leaks?

-Begin program -

Goto 1

Lbl 2
//tons of code
Goto 3

Lbl 1

While 1

If A=1:Then
Goto 2
Lbl 3
End

End

What kind of game are you making? That code looks like it should work without any memory leaks, but have you tried doing something like this?

:While 0
:Lbl A
:// subprogram code
:End
:While 1
:If A=1
:Goto A
:End

Sounds good. I'll definitely try it out.

The game is an RPG. The normal loop is walking around, and the subprogram is fighting. I'm trying to take advantage of two programs I made: a maze generator and a large sprite compression technique.

Is this your first RPG?

I made a few lame text adventures before, but this is my first real RPG
