This was quite a hard choice... programs like Ice Hockey and Space Dementia II were excellent. I agreed with someone above though, that decided to vote mainly on programming/ technical achievement. I finally decided to vote for PolySnd. Besides helping to test it [;-)], I just think it really is a big achievement. Two major and unique (I'm pretty sure) features are: polyphonic (2-channel sound) tones, and (most notably) its ability to run in the background, so background music is actually possible. This is a great achievement, I think.

My Avoid-The-Walls demo with it shows that background music is possible, and I'm thinking of using it heavily in my next project.


Anyway... like I said, there were several excellent programs this year/ voting period. I get the impression that the vote will be pretty close, at least for several programs.

I think the best programs for the TI-89 developed in this year are ID, PolySnd, Gran Tourismo, Prince Of Persia, Space Dementia II, although it's a very difficult choise. Ther's a lot of work on all of them.

What no option for ZTetris?!?


BOOOOOOO!!!
