Hi, I downloaded this cool game on ticalc and fixed it up a bit.
Now it's faster, and has internal subroutines instead programs!
Dan Weiss said to go ahead and release the optimized version, so
here it is. If you have questions about it, you can email me at

1. First of all:
****************
   
   This is TI-BASIC game, but it's FAST.  It's a vertical scrolling
   platform/puzzle game that has nothing to do with ice, but all to
   do with climbing.  The object of the game is to reach the top of
   each challenging level.
   
   Files included:
     Iceclimb.txt      This Readme File
     Iceclimb.83g      TI83 Version
     Iceclimb.8xg      TI83+ Version
   
***************
2. How to play:
***************
   
   *To move the player, use the arrow keys.
   *To jump to the left, press 2nd.
   *To jump to the right, press MODE.
   *To quit, press CLEAR.
   
   Obstacles:
   _
   X  This is your standard block, jump on them, but you can't jump
      through them.
   
   H  This is a ladder, you can climb on them with UP and DOWN.
      You can also land on them, jump from them, but you can't hang
      on the bottom step.  When they are arranged horizontally,
      (like this HHHHHH) they act as a platform you can drop from.
      
   !  These are spikes, they kill you if you fall on them. But you
      can end a jump on them, walk on them, walk in front of them...
      But they only kill you if you FALL on them.
      
      
   Notes:
     
      When you jump, you ALWAYS jump first 2 squares up, then 3 squares
      to the left or right.  Gravity takes over then.
      
      When you're falling, you can't move.  Period.
      
      If you quit the game with ON, a large string variable isn't deleted.
      You also need ~900 bytes free to play.
      
      Reread the notes about the spikes carefully

 3. Make your own levels!
 ************************
 
   To do this, edit prgmWORLD.  You will see the lame ending text, then
   the levels.  The first one is at the bottom.
   
   Notes:
                                          _
      You may be wondering how to type an X, just press VARS, 5, then 2.
      To quickly type in a !, press MATH, LEFT, 4.
      To type a H, use ALPHA H.
      To type a space, use ALPHA 0          _
      Anything other than a H, !, space, or X is a platform that you can
        walk/jump through.
      If you go too far up/down you get an error.
      The entire level must be in quotes and be stored into Str1
        (VARS, 7, 1)
      Messing around is the best way to find out how the engine works.

 4. Closing Words:
 *****************
 
   Enjoy the game, and go make some levels!
