Odd, I will check this issue, normally you should be able to edit your posts (I don't think members can delete them tho), maybe I messed up normal members permissions somewhere  

Cool, could you sign me up for the project site?  I'd like to see what else you've got.

As you can see from the screen shot I posted earlier, I spent the night ripping your tiles from that map and plugging it into the gs tilemapper I have to see how it looks.

You can probably see that gs is pretty flickery, even when it's still.  It's partially because the mapper is being called so many times, but oh well.  Actually, that tilemapper might be necessary, depending on how fast you want to scroll when doing the zelda style transitions.  I think whole tiles will be fine though.

How do I contact this Spikeman?  Can he join Omnimaga too so he can talk about what he needs for programming?  And what kind of help, if any, does he need?  It sounds like you guys have all the planning and stuff down solid, which makes me wonder what I can, if I can help at all.

edit: are you guys looking to compress this into a 1 page APP?

and is spikeman using Duck's GS package, or RGP by Jim e?

and why does spikeman sound so familiar.  Did he used to be on calchaven or calcgames?

ya, it's not a prank.  there's lot of planning, a lot of concept art, a lot of docs, yep, even some CalcGS tilesets

grendel: it's just that you posted when Kevin was doing a lot of pranks.  And since you appeared as validating, some people probably assumed it was another of Kevin's jokes.

did you ever consider doing this for the other calcs?  especially the ones that have better gs capabilities?  

ya, like the 68k Calculators: ti-89, ti-92+, v200, and the ti-86, which also uses z80 ASM, but it can do greyscale better.

ti-86 and 83+/84+ both use z80, so a lot of code will be the same.  it's the just the 86 has a bigger screen, but you don't have to use all of it.  the screen is also better because there is no LCD driver, so fastcopy is not needed.  gbuf/plotsscreen on 86 is memory mapped (screen automatically shows what's there)  also, 86 has no archive.

68ks, you can use TIGCC, which is a C compiler for the 68k calculators.    

Halifax, since the site is hosted on Google Code, you need a Google account. (which isn't that difficult to obtain -- they don't even bother you for an e-mail address)
