I chose the 2nd choice, but I am not(definitely!) planning to win, that's hopeless! Though I am going to program with ideas, not internal program skills. I am planning to program more and more if that's the way to help ticalc.org develope into better site. Thank you.

I might...how do you submit a program for consideration besides getting it featured?

That's the way it works-they're featured programs.

Sorry, that was a stupid question :-[ ...I just saw Morgan's post above mine that said just that.

At least I'll be one of the competitors...my program System Hacker just got featured! :-D :-D :-D

I emailed them.
:)

About what?

About the program.

THANK YOU!!!!! :-D :-D

Hmm, maybe I will write more levels for Corrupt

Yes! That sounds awesome! Or even a level editor (hint, hint). Oh well, I'll stop bugging you about it :)

None of the programs I've written are any good. I'm learning asm and have an idea for something to write that wouldn't be difficult to code, I just don't like memory management very much. Plus, I'm not very dedicated and almost never finish anything. Even if I do finish the game I'm planning on writing, it probably won't get featured. How do you get a program featured? Do you have to email them after you submit it, or do they look through the archives and pick programs?

<<I'm not very dedicated and almost never finish anything>>

That's always my biggest problem, I always figure that if I don't finish a project within a week, I'll get bored and go on to something else. That's most definetely always the case.

A week?? I've been working on Monoply for 13 months now and haven't given up on it yet.

That's pretty long. The longest I worked on a program was two months, if I remember correctly.

Only 13 months? I've been working on my multi-threading system for 30 months now!

Yeah, ok, so I work on it for only a day or so at a time when I get a good idea.

more like two days for me... although i do remember spending over 4 months on and off trying to learn how to execute commands (my 7 year old mind couldn't figure out to right click :)) and I usually spend a few days to figure something out, like a new gamecube game or addon to my site (like phpnuke, phpma, cpanel, etc)

Yeah, same here... after a week or so, your motivation to work on your program begins to drop. I like making programs that I can complete in one or two days. Usually no more. But of course, those are almost never any good, right? That's also why I haven't uploaded any programs in a long time. But I am hoping to get off my lazy butt and make something pretty soon. Not something POTY-worthy or anything (haha, yeah right), but maybe a stupid little game that will keep you entertained for at least 10 minutes.

I gave up TiBasic for Python. It's soooo much easier to right good code in less time.
see link.

Where can I get a good Python interpreter or compiler for the TI-86? :-D

You tell me. :^)
