Nightmare from metroid fusion for the gba:


Please port that game to the ti84+

Pretty hard to set the mood without the creepy music though. soundchipsoundchipsoundchip!!!

Here's an old mockup of Kraphyko. The current program doesn't look much like the mockup anymore.

It would be nice if someone managed to make a metroid game for the new 84+ CSE. Color

There is (or was, at least) an ASM metroid game that was pretty far along:

@Keoni29 forget about it. I don't remember who made it, but only filling the entire screen with the same color (and not doing anything else in the loop !) allows for a maximum of 6-7 fps. If a game like that were to be made on the 84+CSE, it would most likely only take half or a quarter of the screen to have a correct speed.

That was with no tricks, but using the half resolution trick the fps can be doubled, and even quadrupled using DJ_O's trick that only displays on line among two.

@DJ_O but it wasn't that great of a surprise,was it ?

The problem is that in TI-BASIC, the more crowded your VAT is, the slower/larger your game gets. I noticed my game ran at 4 FPS early into development, only to slow down to 2 FPS near the end as the game increased in amount of sub-programs and size, even though I almost changed nothing in the main program. I had a similar problem with Illusiat 13 as it got bigger. It might have been caused by a TI-OS or ASM lib glitch, though, because I remember that in TI-BASIC, manipulating large strings caused massive memory leaks and slowdowns in some cases.

As for the CSE, it's possible to get a decent speed if you do it right. Just use the built-in horizontal scrolling or half resolution tricks then do the vertical scrolling like Super Mario Bros 2 or Zelda NES. And of course there's always my scanline trick, as Hayleia mentions.

that is amazing =D
