Here's the basic graphics I have been using to get the back end code up and running.

screen example

While it's not much visually at the moment there is a butt load of back end code that had to be worked out...

- the user animates when moved.
- there's a map builder that allows me to quickly build unique.. er.. maps.
- item pick up and application works
- there's an enemy that takes damage when attacked by the user.. and drops and item when killed.
- i even have a background animation for 'waving grass'... but that's not shown at the moment.

Obviously this was saved in mspaint (the screen shot).. the graphics are a bit more sharp.

I made a bit of head way.. I have my basic map builder done... well for the background tiles and writing it to xml (and loading it back).

I have to get a new xml grid for the items.. a grid for the enemies (and enemy properties).. and the integrating this load of a map to the game itself.

I am more or less back on board with my KPS the RPG. (Think top down zelda style game over lay for a purchasing system).

Depending what happens this evening I will have some of the non check off items done.

Yeppie.
