although since it's your story, we're probably going to have to ask you about a lot of the event driven stuff as it comes along.

Of course.

He pops in and out. Haven't had a chance to talk to him lately. I'll remind him to check in.

He doesn't seems to be active much in the community because from what i noticed he joined DS forums in 2004 and he posts like once per 6 or 8 months O_O

Detached Solutions is quite slow, though. I rarely even check in anymore. He's pretty busy with school and independent studies, so it's hard to catch him at the right times.

Yeah since Omnicalc 1.26 and emu8x got released not much happens at DS anymore, plus the forum shut down during the entire august month didn't helped at all. I think the most active TI forums are United-TI, Omnimaga, Cemetech, MaxCoderz, Revsoft and TI-Freakware in order now

I would add calcg.org but it's mostly newbies who need to know how to turn on their calcs who come here

i still find the "save the whales" and "save the platypi' funny

well, if spikeman wants to help out, he can.

If he and Halifax want to make a cool DS game, that's also good, but hopefully it'll have Omnimaga presents in purple ^^

Wow I missed this earlier...looks very good. I would love to see this on the calc! I am pretty busy with some projects working on right now. (crunch time if you will) but once december hits I could maybe offer some assistance.

The more the merrier. We're trying to divide the programming tasks up as much as possible, so wherever you could contribute would be great.

EDIT: And also, I haven't had much success with other communities. People admire the project, but aren't otherwise interested in joining. I think if we could get at least 5 or 6 people on the project, we would have it done in no time. (that would be about 1 person per area)

I'm not sure what Spikeman plans to do, code-wise. I still need to check with him.

Well, we probably won't need too many people actually. Assembly is one of those languages that's hard to do group projects with. Increasing the number of people doesn't necessarily speed up production, in fact, sometimes it will hinder it, or people just play small roles. One issue is that some parts of the program greatly rely on other parts, so you might as well have the original author just write it too. Though a couple of people to do optimizations afterwards might be good.

I agree with Liazon. I like to have a direct connection with developers on projects such as these so things can be done, essentially, fast!

I think a good team setup would be, 3-4 programmers, 3-4 optimizers, and you as a graphics artist.

@grendel: Also, don't get discouraged since people aren't joining the development team. It is just that this project is so huge that it may be intimidating to some, or they just simply don't have the time.

By the way, we're all at an understanding about the GNU license, right? I mean, I also want this to be an educational thing. If people want to develop similar games, they'll have this as a resource.

time is usually a big problem of course

ya, GNU = include source. No problem.

i think the main thing thats holding people back is asm, its only about 5% of the people here know asm, about 1-2% of them are inactive or not here right now and then many others are , as you said tied up. i for one would helpl if i could, unfortunately day 14 isnt enough to create a good program so... also, im not quite sure im retaining everything, asm is alot harder than i had originally thought it would be.

So, why do you want the trunk to be private, Liazon? I mean, considering we're doing this under a GNU license. We don't have anything to hide!
