One thing I'd like to see is a Myst-type puzzle game for the 83+. It would be coooooool!

Does anyone know if it is possible to save user-inputted (ha, i invented a word) text into anything other than strings in BASIC?

Well, I can think of a couple things you can do. First, you could store it to answer, although that would be very temporary. Second, you could assign each token a value and make it into a list, and make a second program to change it back into a string. Finally, although you did say basic, someone could make a program that gives you extra strings in asm. I am thinking of making something like that myself. Thats all I can think of.

Well if you ever get that program your talking about together, let me know!

Someone needs to make something cool for TI-86. All I see is just simple stuff that mostly are built into the calculator already or just the same programs over and over. ZMercury was the first actual high quality program uploaded in a while.

Hey, I have a request for a game.
Someone please make this.

Someone make Friday the 13th for the TI-83+.
I find it to be quite fun.

If you need a copy of Friday the 13th;
AIM name= "CicadaCalc"
MSN name= "Buzzing_Cicada"
Yahoo name= "cicadacalc"

Once again, thanks to whoever makes this game!

Oh, by the way, if you make it ASM or BASIC, I will provide the sprites.

Thanks once again.

OK, now, all messenger names are CicadaCalc. Also, not included before, if you need a game overview, setup, items, etc., just message me and I'll send it...

Hello again. I have some new questions. For my PB (paperboy) game
1)how would I have the prgm randomly put in the house targets and obsticals*.
2)How would I make the obsticals* move left and right while they scroll down the screen?
*the obsticals are cars, puddles, holes and dogs.

Well, what kind is it, BASIC or Asm?
Now, do you use variables, lists, or matrices?
And finally, are we talking about original PaperBoy or a possible change to it?

3)How would I make it so that if the obstical* hits the paper boy, it would end the loop and go to the end screen?
5)How would I make a High Score table?

hey everyone
I was just wondering if it was possible to get a list of programs on the calculator using ASM (83+). In other words, if I have a prgmA, where could I find that in memory? Thanks

There are two options, _FindAlphaDn and _FindAlphaUP. They both find all the variable types that you specify from the symbol table, using this:
Input:
Variable name in op1
Output:
Symbol Table data hl
The Carry flag is reset if succesful for F
Variable name if successful in Op1

But those are really slow. You could search the symbol table using pure code for the progobj or protprogobj bytes, but that would be hard :(

How do you word-wrap with text on the graph-screen? I have been trying f o r e v e r to figure this out or find a place that says how.

this is in TI-83+ BASIC. forgot to specify in original comment.

Well you can't use word wrap on the graph screen, but you can simulate it. What are you storing your data in? If its in string1 for example, you could do:
ClrDraw
0->A
For(C,1,length(Str1),23
23->D
If D>length(Str1)-C+1
length(Str1)-C+1->D
Text(A,0,sub(Str1,C,D
A+6->A
If A=60
Then
Pause
0->A
ClrDraw
End
End

And btw, whats your email? I might make that string program but I don't think it would be worthy to put on this site.

Hello!
Someone who got some games that i can
program into my TI-83+???
Can i do it via BASIC or do i need a cable???

Well, what kind of games are we talking about here?
Basic games?
Asm games?
Applications?

lol, uhh... are you really using a bot? If you were, wouldn't the time between the posts stay below 5 minutes, if not shorter? And what do you mean request games? Are they made by the contributers or is it hacks and cracks? How many questions can I ask in one post? lol

Actually, they are the real game. We may post hacks if we want to or if people give us them, but I'm not making any promises.
