Re: Upcoming TI-83 Plus Games
4_Of_11

Im currently working on a BASIC turn-based strategy game, based loosly on starcraft. It will use sea units instead of air-units (don't want to deal with overlapping units). It will include all of the Terran land units, most of the buildings, 3 ships (submarine, transport and battleships) and a hover-craft. Units will use 4x4 sprites, and buildings will use 9x9 sprites, and there will be 4 screens to the map. I will try to include a decent AI, but it will mostly be designed as a 2-player game. It will will be entirely self-contained (one program file). It will use 8 pics (the program will be capable of generating all of them).

sounds like a cool game. I will assume it is going to be done in asm. When will itr be out. I have a few questions to ask you about this game (like how to's, since I would like to learn asm) Please e-mail me back if you could. THANKS.----Steve

The message said the game would be in BASIC, not ASM, so I don't think he will be able to send you any email about ASM programming.
The game itself sounds interesting. Good luck with it!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. . . Starcraft. . . I LOVE Starcraft. It would just make my year if I could play SC in class all day. Although, ASM would be nice.

O I LUV STARCRAFT PLZ LET ME KNOW WHEN IT COMES OUT.
THAT GAME SOUNDS GREAT. WELL I DONT WANT IT IN ASM BECAUSE I WONT BE ABLE TO RUN IT BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PROGRAM OR RUN OR DO ANYTHING WITH ASM.

PLZ ANYONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO CREATE ASM AND RUN ASM PLZ E-MAIL ME PLZ AND I NEED THE ASM PROGRAMS THAT U NEED TO PROGRAM ASM. I HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THE TI-CALC TEACHING TEXT FILE AND WEBPAGES AND THEY DONT HELP.
PLZ HELP ME!!!
PLZ!!!
HELP.................!

ASM Begging

How about you stop posting in all caps and begging for assembler help; the language is easy to learn, and you're not going to find a better teacher than Ion Guru for the 83 and 83+. If you can't understand guides like that then you don't belong in the field of programming.
If you can't program fast enough in ASM then use the Small-C compiler to program in c++ for the calculator, but stop the obnoxious begging... if you don't know c++ then don't bother with ASM.

The language is not that easy to learn and there isn't a lot of good tutorials on the actual commands (or else I would be programming extremly good games for the 83+)
If you are so intelligent then YOU create a help file that lists the actual commands and what they do exactly in relation to basic and if you think you are really smart and you know C++ then make a C++ program that converts basic to either common machine code or ion. Until then don't knock a person in need!!!

Knock it off! If all of you want ASM help download Ionguru because it comes with ASM Guru which Im learning already!

That guy is mean.
All you need to run ion games or programs is to download ion ungroup it and run prgmA and you can select your game from the menu but you have to download the ion game or program first from this site and you have to send it to your calculator.

If you want to run a normal asm program like Ztetris (original 83+ version) then press 2nd and 0 and select asm(
after you select asm( press PRGM and select your normal asm program and press enter twice
for tse don't bother because it is a s%&^%ty shell and has nearly nothing for it

Hey, I think that this would be the best game ever, if it's actually done with descent quality. Can you please e-mail me to tell me when you're done with this, and if you could e-mail me the program
Thanks a lot

all of you seem to think that since you are forced to program in ti-basic that you can't have graphics, well, when my new program ADVENTUR comes out you will see what ti programming is all about. I'm basing the program off of an old ti99-4a program (that's pre-1980 for you who don't know it). the original was text based... but be prepared for a change! all i can say is: better bad graphics then plain text!

I have that computer! And that game! Never really played it very much though. I started programing on that computer.

What do you mean by graphics exactly? Do you mean as in useing small sprites to make a view of the map? Or as in a large picture acompanying the text? Either way, how do you plan to do it without an incredibly long loading time?

the cartridge isn't the importaint thing it's the tape that goes with it!
by graphics i do mean something close to using sprites, but really it isn't easy to use sprites on the 83+ (unlike the 99-4a!) so in a way, yes, well.... sort of.

I am making a game called Oracle for the TI-83 Plus which generates a random fortune for you when you run it. I'm wondering if it would be worth releasing. If I don't get any comments about it in about a month, I'll figure that it's not worth releasing and throw it away. I don't want to release it if nobody's going to want it. That would just waste the time of people looking for decent programs.

That game would be cool to play once. But, it might be cool to let your freinds play. I am making one like that to called Mysticow. (Mystical Cow) Basicly you ask it questions on a menu and it gives you completly mad answers.

WHAT IS LIFE?
A NOUN

I'll upload it eventually.

Well, my friend made a "magic 8 ball" program, but so far all he can do is make it say "YES". What's worse, he won't let me help him with it.

     22 February 2000, 05:08 GMT

Re: Re: Re: Re: Upcoming TI-83 Plus Games

To make a magic 8-ball-type thingy, use something like this:

:randInt(1,whatever)->X
:If X=1
:Disp "Yes"
:If X=2
:Disp "No"
:If X=3
:Disp "Try again later"

... and so on.

You can also weight a response so that it appers more than another. I'll make a program based of the last post.

:Pause
:RandInt(1,20)->X
:If 1<X and X<5
:Disp "YES"
:If 6<X and X<10
:Disp "NO"
:If 11<X
:Disp "TRY AGAIN LATER"

In this program all you need to do is change the "less-thans" to "less-than-or-equal-tos". In this program "YES" will appear 1/4 of the time, "NO" will appear 1/4 of the time, and "TRY AGAIN LATER" will appear 1/2 the time. You can, of course, change the weights to however you want it. This program is alot easier to mold so that you can put more responces in and weight them however you want.

That sounds like a really cool program, if its done, or when its done, send me a copy.

Yeah what if you make a program, and release it and its not successful. But what if it is...

If you ever have a doubt, realease it.
