May 1999 POTM Voting
Posted by Kirk on 1 May 1999, 00:56 GMT

The May 1999 Program of the Month contest is now open for the public to vote in. You can simply see the programs that have been nominated, or you can cast your vote for the best program in each category. In order to vote you must be registered in our voting system. If you are not yet a registered voter on ticalc.org, you should register now before voting for the Program of the Month. The polls will remain open for one week, after which time the winners will be announced in an addendum to the newsletter as well as on the ticalc.org news.

Isn't 3.0 the latest version of Drugwars 86?

I know this is off-topic but TI seems to have added some more TI-89 asm info. It's a .pdf file and a C header-file. I'm gonna have a look at it now.

It's about windows and memory management.

Have any of you ever played the new game Mega Man 85 for Usgard? It is a really good game set up exactly like the Nintendo versions. This game should have been nominated!!!

But where did you find this one ? It is not even present in the ticalc.org archives ! So it seems logic that it wasn't nominated, since it's still unreleased.

It's at TI-Files. Kirk Meyer unlike ol' Bryan does not check around for programs that were not submitted directly to ticalc.org.

All this does is encourage you to go to TI-Files and Dimension-TI as well as ticalc.org for your games. Hey, you're on the internet. Might as well make the most of it :)

There's also the viewpoint that we don't just update our archives by visiting other sites and downloading theirs :)

Whether we should do more of that or not, we definitely encourage authors to send their programs directly to us. We think it's good for authors and users to have them here, and it expedites the file update process if we don't have to hunt down the vital information for each file.

Ok, but anyway I think that if an author didn't want to release his game on ticalc.org, then ticalc.org doesn't have to nominate it in the POTM. It's really not so complicated to release a program on a site.

(and to answer to a deleted comment, I didn't say that the game didn't exist)

Why would the archiver at TI-Files(Dave Jacklish, author of MegaMan 85) waste his time with ticalc.org's annoying submission process?

Good point. Now I want to know why my 3 comments were deleted... what is this, a cover-up?

Well, if an author doesn't bother to send his game to ticalc.org, then ticalc.org would never know it existed.. so that would explain why such a game would never be nominated.

For June, I nominate "Hays Games" cuz someone needs to publicly recognize them as the code stealing lamers that they really are. Check out their site by clicking the link above...

Haha, it's risky business being the LOTM nominator. Just an hour ago someone e-mail bombed me. A distrunctle LOTM at work again :/

I take it that you thought 'LOTM Award' to stand for 'Lamer Of The Month Award"...

Just a quick question...
Programmin'' Fool

Hey, I'm interested in porting games cross-platform if I can, but I don't know Jack (so to speak) about Assembly Language. Is the TI-86's ASM close enough to the 85's to be cross-compiled without having to change anything? I know the TI-82 and '83 can't be transferred to the TI-85 this way... they address the screen differently or something like that. Any help would be appreciated.

The 85 and 86 assembly languages are very similar, and most games can be ported with few changes (ROM calls, FindPixel, format, and some addressing changes depending on the 85 shell). Games over 10k will be a problem, and you're better off emulating them. Now that I think about it, you're better off emulating anything directly than porting it. . .

Actually, that wouldn't do me any good. You see, my financial situation doesn't allow for a new calc, and my parents were rather stingy when dealing with me. I have a TI-85, and I noticed that some '86 Assembly games were actually small enough to fit on my calc. The only problem is that there isn't an '85 version. Emulation works for TI-86ers, but I don't have that luxury.
