or you could port the game to a TI-85.  ;D
Don't you mean TI-81? ;)


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

But it would be like Illusiat 81. A pain to install, but it would just be awesome to fit it on a TI-81.

85 BASIC is faster than other calc basic? I always found it was the same speed as the 83+... the 86 is much slower, for some reasons...

As for Illusiat 81, it's actually better than the original Illusiat 1 in terms of battle engine, because the leveling up is not as screwed up and the game has reasonable difficulty compared to the original. It doesn't match the 2004 remake, though, and it has the worst graphics in the 3 versions.

Here's an example picture of everyone's favorite lobster in the game.  As was mentioned previously, the lobster is the icon for the amount of food (like supplies/underlings/psi) a ship requires.

Hmm, is there any way to get a partial test mode to get blue pixels in programs? Imagine the possibilities!

There used to be 'line-by-line' test mode on the 83+ calcs, but they got rid of that by the time the 84+ came out. Pixel-by-pixel has never been possible, sadly..


Anyway, I lost the game like 20 times while reading this topic.

Not to mention there's no way to control which individual pixel can be blue, anyway. Either entire horiz lines of pixels turns blue (random, if I remember), or the entire screen turns blue at once (15 MHz models only)
