I already have a fully functional Engine that I've made by stripping Eclipse Evolution 2.7 and building off of it, It incorporates a lot of the necessary things for the effects that are in chrono trigger, such as; Alpha-Blending with vbDABL, A particle engine for spells, item - map - npc caching. Currently i'm trying to code in something similar to the movement system of chrono trigger, but getAsyncKey() is a function build into vb and it doesnt support multiple arrow key press detection so i have to use DirectInput, if you know how to use dd7's direct input download the eclipse source and try and incorporate diagonol movement if you want to code.
