Question:

Is there a diagram or chart to help me picture how a
ROM call works?

Learning ASM can be complicated without pictures.
:)

I am a graphics handyman.

Ask me for some of my samples.

Happy to share.

(Example: I have many great looking human and Mech units sprites in b/w)

Sure, send some to spoiltnfs@yahoo.com. I'll be happy to look at some of them. If anyone is looking for a game tester, send them to the same address. Happy to crash my calc a few times :)

I will send them next week.

They should be in bitmap format so that you can select
the ones you would like to see.

Bitmaps are easily modifiable in Paint.
Some will not fit the smaller Calculator screens
and will need to be shrunk/fixed.

These are all being used in 2 of my games already.
They are not copyrighted.

Can you send them to me too

I've been researching a older 3d graphics engine to use for a game on the 86, but it should aplly to all calcs.
It was used on games like Wolfenstien 3d and DOOM because of its speed.
I even wrote a BASIC program that used it but it was really choppy ('cause it was BASIC) and I don't have time to learn ASM yet.

The technology is called raycasting.

Just type it in to a search engine and be insprired (or not)
The reason its so fast is because its really a 2d illision of 3d.
If you make something out of this, please, let me know (noillug@yahoo.com) but either way, check it out.

There are already several games using the raycasting/pseudo 3d technique on calcs. I'm not sure if there are any on the 86, but there is Gemini and Wolfenstein for the 83 series and then there is the FAT Raycasting Engine (and all of the games made with it) for the 68k calcs. If you are interested in Raycasting, which provides suprisingly realistic 3d graphics on your calc, I would recommend looking at the source to FAT (Developed by TICT).

Hey someone make an SF cave for the TI-89 like the one for the TI-83+ i love the game on the 83+ but the one for the 89 stinks

HEY I PROGRAM ON THE TI89.

I HAVE MADE *EXCELLENT GAMES* THAT I WILL PUBLISH IN 2 MONTHS!!!

AND YES

IAM ALSO MAKING ***SF CAVE*** FOR THE 89 WITH BETTER GRAPHICS AND A LITTLE TOUCH OF MY OWN THAT I THINK MAKES IT SO COOL. WELL THIS VERSION YOU WILL LIKE. I KNOW YOU WILL LIKE. PLUS,
I LIKE THAT GAME TOO!!WELL IT WILL BE OUT SOON HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

Here's an update -

I have built a Beta version of RABBLE 92.
To be posted in January.
Rabble is a set-piece Risk-like game like Age of Kings
There are over 10 tribes with bonuses and 40 unit types.
Rabble is 90% graphics written in BASIC.

Upcoming Games include:

-ROOK 10 and a Half Tournament Style(Card game)
-A port of Mechcommander(RTS)
-A port of Commandos and Thief(Tactics)

Oh, and maybe next summer look for my Empire Earth port.

If Commando/Thief clone works, I may begin work on
a new Jurassic Park port.

Could you teach me how to make games, I want to make a Paperboy for a TI 83 Plus. I don't know anything about programming and I only have a TI 83 Plus with Mirage OS. Email me at smartturkey16@yahoo.com

Send any hints to smartturkey16@yahoo.com

I need to learn how to make games, if you have the time, drop me a line @ smartturkey16@yahoo.com

It would be cool to make MTG card game on a calc

Hey all, I just finished an early version of my new OS. I am looking for people to help me make some OS games that come with the OS, just simple little games in BASIC. If you do help, I will put you in credits. Also, I am also working on the LINK part of the OS and am having trouble with word wrapping. If you can help with the word wrapping, I will put you in credits. If anyone at all can help, please tell me.


dwcopti@hotmail.com

LOL, i already completed my OS!! CoolOS, go check it out!! With some games and progs and Garbage Collect!!

I could probably make an okay version. Making an AI that is actually AI would be tough, though. It would have to be in ASM, definetly.

someone should make a first person shooter that can be on the ti 83 without having to us a speacial os cause that just takes room. is there a reason why it is on a special os like ion? Also i cant get doom to work cause i cant get the os for it on there the mircoos or something like that help please

I need people to help make games in BASIC for my "DWCOPTi OS". Just simple games will be used for inside the OS for entertainment. If anyone wants to help email me at dwcopti@hotmail.com and if you know how to do word wrapping then use the email above and help me out. Anyone who dies help will be in credits!

I made all the games and programs for CoolOS myself (sometimes a bit help for graphics)!! I wanna help ya if ya want, just tell me which games (or one of the games i already made??).

I'm working on a simple BASIC game called Line of Fire that takes up about 1k. Could easily be changed to ASM if you want. It would work really well for an OS game.
