I know that this may be off-topic from this news item, but it's still on-topic within ticalc itself. With that out of the way ...
Why do people continue to upload 83+ images? Don't they know that they don't count in stats anymore? Like that Jeff kid ... he uploaded ANOTHER batch of pictures to the archives.

I know, right. doesn't he know that NOONE cares about them. i'd never downlaod a picture they're a waste of memory.

Not only that, but stupid people like him take up the archivers time, so they can't put my stuff out that's been pending for 2 WEEKS!

I know how it feels, I've been waiting for almost 3 (lost count)

Okay, now it seems I've been waiting forever to get my files through. Are the ticalc archive people on vacation or something?

u sp"l"t "NONE" rong


jk

he was saying 'no one' not 'none'

PLAY MEGAMAN86. ITS COOL, YO.

...and he probably said noone as to not confuse it with no_one_... (where's he gone?)

I AM RIGHT HERE! BWAHAHAHAHA! (I was gone for a week)

He meant to say "no one" not none. Most average people don't know that "no one" is actually two words. Just like people can't understand that "a lot" is meant to be two words.

PS: If I spelled any words wrong in this post then I've invalidated everything I just said.

You spelled "invalitated" wrong. ;) just kidding. Umm, you notice the j/k at the bottom of that other guys post? He's making a joke, he's (trying) to be funny.

I'm new to the boards so I did miss that one. On some of the forums I go to people use smiley faces to show they're kidding. Thx though.

I mean, how long do they really take to make?
1) Use paint package of your choice to scale down an image to 96x64.
2) Save it and load RIG Convertor.
3) Load the image, click 'Auto'
4) Output the image.
5) Put it on the net, getting in the way of eveyone elses uploads.


*grrr*

Grr

Okay, I have a great idea!!!!!!!

Lets remove the god damn directory called "images" and delete all the freaking images in this site!!!!! Those useless programs that no one download are making pending time take longer….

I have like 60 programs on pending right now and i'm very eager to get them added!!!!! I sent like several programs two weeks ago and like 50 ported games this week. Finally i get 3 programs added to the site today, wednesday 19!!!!!

By the way, I have ported 47 asm games from the 83 to the 86 with the help of some programs and they are on pending right now!!! Nearly all of these games take up about "TWO HUNDRED TO TWO THOUSAND BYTES" less than the version right now in the 86/asm/games section ported by experienced asm programmers!!!!! Plus all of these ported games are fully tested with rewritten readme files and credit given to original authors and 83 porters.

Definitly agree about getting rid of the images. From Wednesday, at least half of the uploaded files for the 83+ were those stupid, (|2@ppy sports teams images - he seems to have gotten into minor league 5}{i+ now too. Its all freiking USELESS!

Looking at your program's list, it seems like you just program math stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but even a large (with tact) math program would be a lot smaller than most of the good asm games.

Some famous games ported to the TI-86 and on pending right now:
Only 629 bytes compared to the other avalanche (1861 bytes)!
Only 3881 bytes compared to the other blockdude (3959 bytes)
Only 732 bytes compared to falldown v2.1 (3939 bytes) and v1.4 (1111 bytes) by aaron curtis!
Only 2500 bytes compared to FrAWgGuts v1.3 (3044 bytes) by sam heald! Only 2124 bytes compared to subhunt v1.3 (2302 bytes) by sam heald!
Only 6033 bytes compared to tetris atack v1.1 (6260 bytes)!
Only 1491 bytes compared to DStar v1.0 (1525)!
Only 7173 bytes compared to Crates 3D v1.0 (7507 bytes)!
Only 2473 bytes compared to DuckHunt v1.5 (3189 bytes)!
Only 3337 bytes compared to Centipede v1.0 (3460 bytes)!
Only 6598 bytes compared to Elements v1.0 (6730 bytes)!
Only 2115 bytes compared to Insane Game v2.71 Beta 2 (2758 bytes)!
Only 614 bytes compared to Square Fill v1.0 (2156 bytes)!
Only 10276 bytes compared to Lotus Turbo Challenge v1.1 (11410)!
Only 1523 bytes compared to The Mad Bomber v0.0 (2335 bytes)!
Only 2576 bytes compared to Yoshi v0.9 (3309 bytes)!

You must be very proud.

well.. I dont program asm because I dont have enough time, but I do know that lots of times you can make an asm game that would be smaller than one that does the exact same thing, but it would also be way slower. AKA Ztetris (bigger) compared to Ztris (slower). So don't brag about these things here, because it does come close to talking about the TI-Keyboard.

Your right about smaller size games being a bit slower than the normal version, but this is not true for all of the games that I have ported.

Avalanche, blockdude, falldown, frogguts, tetris attack, dstar, insane game, the mad bomber, and yoshi are relatively fast even they are smaller than the version in the 86/asm/games section.

However, I have noticed that subhunt, duckhunt, centipede, elements, and lotus turbo challenge are a little bit slower than the other version.
