Grand Theft Auto Vice City Coming Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need some help-It would be usefull if I could make more than 10 pics and more than 10 strings.

Okay, it sounds like you are doing this all in BASIC, so I can help you. As of right now I don't know how I can help your picture problems but the strings I can deal with. This is your program:

PROGRAM:VICECITY
:ClrHome
:Full
:Float
:{0}(store to the value of)L1
:Disp "Enter your name:
:Delvar K
:1(store to the value of)B
:Lbl 1
:Repeat K(is > or = to)41 and K (is < or = to)93
:Getkey(store to the value of)K
:End
:If K=41
:Output(2,B,"A
:If K=42
:Output(2,B,"B
:If K=43
:Output(2,B,"C

(I think you know what to enter here)

:If K=45
:Then
:1(store to the value of)B
:{0}(store to the value of)L1
:For(A,1,16
:Output(2,A," "
:End
:If K=23 and B(does not =)1
:Then
:Output(2,B-1," "
:L1(store to the value of)L2
:{0}(store to the value of)L1
:For(A,1,B-1
:L2(A)(store to the value of)L1
:End
:B-1(store to the value of)B
:End
:If K(does not =)45 and K(does not =)23
:B+1(stor to the value of)B
:If K(does not =)105
:Goto 1
:ClrHome
:Disp "Welcome to Vice","City
:For(A,0,2000
:End
:ClrHome

With this way you can instead of saying that Str1 is "Brian", it is now L1 which is {42,75,61,42,71}. This is telling the calculator the actual Getkey values of the name. With something that will be used over and over again however, I would still use a string. But this is better if you want to save the game.

Don't forget: You can also use the Y-Vars as strings. I've never done it because I've never made a prog that required more than 10 strings (although I've come close), but I'm 90% sure it can be done.

I am coming out with an "Outwar" game for the 83-plus. As of right now, It is in basic. I would appreciate any help with linking.

What type of game is Outwar? (RPG, strategy, hiscore, etc)

Sounds interesting. But I have to say, we don't yet know what it is. It's probably some kind of TBS.

This will be a very difficult game to pull off on a calculator, But to link use the send/recieve commands
to send single letter variables, then I presume, you would increase the value of the variable, and send back.

Let me know how it works

I have just recently started creating a Resident Evil:Code Veronica For the TI-83plus. If you have ever played RE:CV then you will get used to the layout quickly because the map will be almost the exact same. It is going to be a arpg just like the other RE's. But do to work and school I don't get to work on it alot so it may be a little while before I get it online. The final game is going to be long and hard. My email is Rex_McArtor@hotmail.com email me with any questions or comments.

I don't know if anyone has posted about this before, but it would be interesting to see a Dying Eyes 2 or anything close to it. The game had a good story and engine, but it wasn't enough.

The game didn't have good dynamics though, all you needed for the entire dungeon level was a high level of HP and Strength.

Post Scriptum: KingSoft guy, upgrade your OS.

Somehow, Dying Eyes wasn't as good an RPG as it could have been. The 16x16 tiles made it look clunky. The battle system was pretty cool, but the way you could distribute points was not quite as interesting as being excited to see how much Intellegence, Strength, etc. your character gained. Also, the storyline needed some definite work. Bigger towns would be nice, and more diverse spells. Also, only have one or two skills you learn in the beginning would be more interesting. For example, you choose if you want to be a Mage (Fireball and HP->MP), Fighter (QuickStrength and Pound) or Healer (Attack->HP and Stun). These are just my suggestions, but overall I do agree. Dying Eyes II would most likely be a hit. Anyway, gotta go!

There are a few games that I would like to see in the near future here on ticalc.org they are Old Nintendo games.

1. Marble Madness
2. Swords and Serpents

I have both of these games and I REALLY like them but most people I know haven't even heard of them. If anyone can make these games PLEASE let me know or e-mail me at pyro_flyer@yahoo.com

Note: Marble Madness will probably have to be put into ASM and Swords and Serpents could be but could also be put into BASIC.

Thanks again.

How 'bout ya try 'nd tell us a'bit 'bout 'em...M'kay?

-Some hick

One solution to this indistinguishable inquiry would be if the person to whom this concerns were to perform an attempt to acquaintanize the general public with a diminutive elucidation with references to the genre of these pastimes.

-dabud15

Wow...I can type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-you

I bet you used a thesaurus for that comment. Oh wait, you didn't, because acquaintanize ISN'T A WORD :-)

And just for the record, it should read:

I believe that I could be considered an expert in BASIC programming. I am capable of answering most BASIC programming questions, so don't hesitate to reply to this with questions. (You can see I am an egomaniac)

Oh yeah. If you're so smart then answer this question:
How do I turn the calculator on?
Yeah, that's right PUNK. Figure that one out.
Oh, and here's another:
How do you turn it off?

Oh and you smell (no offense) but I can smell you from my home in southern Oklahoma.

Me and Silent Fury have all the answers...we don't need no punka$$ teenager with yer fancy schmancy techno music and your rock and roll hair with the little thing in the back that says "I WISH I was cool".

You're mean and extremely degrading. However, to answer your question, you press the ON button. (Ir's in the lower left-hand corner.) To turn it off again, you first press the yellow button with "2nd" on it (upper left hand corner), then you press the ON button. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

I'm not going to be as mean as dabud15, but I will say this:
1) It would help your defense against ppl like dabud15 and me if you had actually released any programs to back up your claim.
2) The commment that started this string was absolutely worthless. If somebody needs help with a basic programming question, they wouldn't (or shouldn't, anyway) post it in the upcoming games section. Even if they did, the said person will not scroll down the page looking for a person who says they are good at basic programming. Most likey they'll just start a new string.
3) Did you honestly think that you were going to get away with boasting like that in the company of such greatness? ;) How new are you to this site, anyway, mr. userid=42002?

About a week, and thank you for your civilty.

You're welcome :-)

Hey Jared,

Good for you (No sarcasm intended). Now that you have mastered basic, start learning ASM. It is much more fun, because you can do much more stuff. Give it a try, and I think you will like it. By the way, I think most of the people here are good at basic. So, this post is meant in no way, shape or form to be-little you but instead is meant to say "Cool! Now tackle something a little harder"

P.S. If you need any help knowing where to get started or how to get the Assemblers, you can e-mail me and I will get them to you! (Also, look at my profile to see my e-mail)
