- NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16whatever happened to the TI-83Plus Zelda game? (non-official)
I'd buy a new calculator just to download and play that... xD - xswag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13@tifreak8x
Welcome to Digg and don't let the "Nitpickers" run you off. There is nothing Moronic about trying to be helpful. - Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14please......don't start
- Ravenhaft, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The TI-89 is better. Way better. I have one. Too bad I'm not taking any math courses at the moment. I'll have to wait for next semester for loads of CRogue and Queue and Phoenix fun! And yeah, I doubt he'll ever finish it. 90% of games for calculators of this scale never even get half finished.
- PhantomRogue, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Damn, and I thought playing Tic-Tac-Toe, BreakOut and Minesweeper was the king of cool back in HighSchool/College on my Ti-85
- Manguskahn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Ok... Kinda creepy.
- msikma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Pff. You're dissing his game because it isn't made in assembly? Give me a break. Do you even know what assembly is?
I'm digging this because he made a cool game for people to play. I don't really care that much that he did it in BASIC. Not everybody likes ploughing through heaps of ridiculously complicated low-level code, contrary to what you think. His intention was to create a cool game, not to learn assembly, so he didn't. Because you simply don't do that if you don't need to. - ZekeSulastin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6A TIBasic game for the TI-83 making it to Digg?
I don't remember the ASM FPS engine for the TI-89 ever making it here two years ago, and it is certainly more impressive than a Basic game, even a good, complex one :X - dscottp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5And why waste hours learning how to program in Assembly when you could learn how to program in a useful language like Java or C++
ps. Yeah, I know, assembly can be useful in some situations, but 95% of programmers never need to know it. - darkstar949, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm not sure, TI-BASIC is a very restrictive set of instructions that can be very slow when improperly coded, coding a complex game in TI-BASIC that can even be played is a feat in and of itself.
I would be curious to see the code to see what sort of short cuts the developer used to implement the icons - most games are restricted to using lists that they read in/to out of to create those which is bad because either a) your application has to create them the first time, or b) you have to provide them to the user and hope they load them correctly. - elfprince13, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5its still in the works, Spencer says he mostly done with coding, and now needs to make the dungeons...
personally I was never a big zelda player (although his game looks nice), Im waiting to play this. - letdowntourist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4kids have it so easy these days. all i had on my ti83 in high school to get me through algebra was snake and blackjack.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Thanks. My server seems to be holding up fairly well under the load though...
- weprin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Especially those written in BASIC. It's just too slow.
- tari, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2AFAIK, there is no gameboy emulator for the 83 (although the gameboy uses a modified z80 processor), although there is one for the 89.
- achoi, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Anyone can play this game!
Thats not very impressive. Anyone willing to waste hours of their time can code any old ridiculous thing they want in (insert some language). next time do yourself a favor and Learn (insert some other language).
For example:
"Thats not very impressive. Anyone willing to waste hours of their time can code any old ridiculous thing they want in Assembly. next time do yourself a favor and Learn brainf*ck." - hbweb500, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Why would weprin be dugg down? TI-BASIC is extremely slow compared to ASM. Assembler uses very low level code and is best for games. BASIC has terribly slow output to the screen, useless for anything even remotely graphical.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ah, Tetris was where it was at for me back in the day.
- ModernTenshi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What?! No Pimp Quest or Drug Quest?!
- tifreak8x, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9yeah, yeah, I am a moron.. :P
Well, a newbie to the digg community anyways :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Heheh, I used to play Final Fantasy 1 on my old TI 83 plus.. brings me back to highschool days.. (I hated highschool)
- repairman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Let me show you my pokemons! My pokemons, let me show you them!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Seems to me that he's been slacking off a bit on it lately, though.
- terminalpariah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://cosbysgolden.ytmnd.com/
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Tari, I was going to say that you were mistaken, he meant he was playing a Pokemon game for the TI-83 on a computer emulator of the 83, but I'm beginning to think you interpreted him correctly. In that case, Tari's comment seconded.
- abid786, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Welcome to Digg! Sometimes, you have to keep your head up here to not get flamed in the comments :-) (but it's not that bad)
- cesclaveria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah, the TI-89 if great, but the best is the Voyage 200 :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Update on this: the images got broken because TIFreakware went down, but I mirrored them onto Cemetech, and all should be working again. My server continues to appear stable...
- Bokista, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Drug Quest? Pshh. Drug Wars was where it was at.
- WEAREBORG4102, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/1251-noscale-pokemons.jpg
- xlibman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats pretty nice considering its in BASIC. in asm it would be smaller but it would take forever to code such a big game, especially in such low level language.
For those with no TI-83s but TI-89 here's something for you (it's not pokemon but it should feed your RPG needs) http://omnimaga.org/index.php?showtopic=215 (those with commodore 64 may remember it), it's not finished yet but it's close. it's 68k C btw
There was also a Pokemon for 68k but i think the project got dropped :( - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Actually, the title is a link to that page.
- lanternjr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I seem to remember playing pokemon via an emulator on my Ti-83, which was much higher quality, but I could be wrong.
- TheZorch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1How about a Pokegirl game. Now that would be interesting.
If you don't know about Pokegirls go and "Google It!" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Oh, it was, but times have changed, dude. The TI community moves ever-onward.
- hypnotizd, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2http://www.duggmirror.com
- TastyQQQs, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0***** calculators, ***** numbers, ***** life... twaaaaaaaaaaah.
- cyberscape2, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1That made no fugging sense, but it was *awesome*.
- celchu33, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1http://www.duggmirror.com/
- withears, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4No, seriously, the trading card game is so f-ing AWESOME.
You see, you've got these Pokemanz and I deal some cards and put my Pokemanz down. Then, my Pokemanz hits your Pokemanz and he kills you. (The game says you "knock them out" but my Pokemanz kick ass and kill instead of render unconscious - that's why i'm so good at this game).
Sometimes, when I'm practicing by myself, my Pokemanz talk to me. They tell me to do things to myself. Fun things. Sometimes they tell me to do things to other people. Fun for me, but not for them. I don't listen to them. Except for Pikachu. I listen to him because he's cute and trustworthy.
I'm the best Pokemanz player in the world. I've not caught them all, but I've killed about 80% of them. - tifreak8x, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5That is being developed by a member on the RevSoft team: http://revsoft.org
Kerm forgot to post the link to the page with all the screenshots: http://tifreakware.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=655 - withears, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4I'm so damn excited about this, my zipper is gonna burst.
I'm serious.
First I thought Pokemon Red and Blue was as good it got. But then came YELLOW.
Then I got Silver and Gold. But out came something else!
Then came Stadium, and then Stadium 2/Colliseum or whatever.
How about that Pokemon Snap!?
"Pikachu, I Choose You," FTW.
Pokemon Ranger, Troizei, and Pikachu Dash - keep going!
Now this!
(and don't EVEN get me started on the Trading Card Game! Seriously, don't get me started.) - link1922, on 10/12/2007, -15/+0Thats not very impressive. Anyone willing to waste hours of their time can code any old ridiculous thing they want in basic. next time do yourself a favor and Learn assembly.
