Hi!  Welcome to Omnimaga!

It is nice to see a new 68k coder around! :)

Also, btw, I think one of your BASIC projects, Ballz, was the inspiration for my first (unreleased) C project for the 89! :)

Heya and welcome here. I think I saw your nickname a few years ago on some 68K forums like TICT and also ticalc.org. I think I saw some of your games too but I never tried them yet.

The reason why there is a post count limit on account settings is due to spambots that used to put innapropriate material in their signature and the reason why post count doesn't increase in this section is that it often turns into randomness, as you could see in this topic. :P

Anyway I hope you enjoy your stay. Do you still have plans for future calculator projects?

Hi all, thanks for the welcome.
Apcalc, I'm honoured to hear that. But my big mistake in that game is that I used pxltest while I should have used a matrix. As you might see, it goes really slow.

At the moment I'm not really thinking on any other projects. When I get an idea, I start programming(unless I don't feel like it).

I WAS busy on a ascii-rpg-something. I think I created the 'engine' allready but I need still more inspiration to complete that. Maybe I'll continue that after I finish(which I hope I will) Myst demo for the 89.

ASCII RPG seems interesting. On the 83+ there are some of these and when ASCII is used properly it can be fun and look good.

Also I'm surprised to hear matrices are faster than pxl-test on 68K. It's the same thing on Casio, but on my 83+, pxl-test is actually faster for collision detection. (Some people even have their complex map data stored inside a matrix but the fact a tile is solid or not is stored in a pic. The type of tile displayed is read from the matrix, but solid tiles detection is done from pxl-test. If you hit a solid tile, then it checks the matrix for what kind of tile it is so if it's a NPC or a door, for example, it does something special.

Well, according to my brother, and I believe he is right, pxltest is slower.
Hbl(holes blocks and ladders) is my first(and only, i think) game with matrices.
It goes slow, but I believe better than my other games.

Hello, welcome here! I'm a TI-89 owner as well (standard non-titanium HW1). Generally I don't program a whole awful lot these days, but if I do it's something miscellaneous for my TI-83. I hope you enjoy it here! Oh, and just for the record, post count does not increase in the introduction or randomness threads. =)

Hi art_of_camelot,

Thanks for the welcome. I have two ti 89's(both no titanium).
I know my post don't count, but I don't really mind.

EDIT:
I see that I have more than 5 posts. And I can't give people post ratings yet, so I guess I need 20 posts first.
I'm saying this because some people though it was 5 and not 20.(Maybe it is 5 posts and I'm missing something important.)

It's 20. It used to be 5, but it was changed a few months ago due to abuse. Someone kept signing up multiple accounts from different IP addresses, making 5 posts, only to mass-rate up his posts and rate down all warning posts. This was the news article about the change: http://ourl.ca/8972

It even used to be 1 before, but someone rated down 500 of my posts.

By the way would your brother happen to be this guy? http://tifreakware.ath.cx/index.php?showuser=122

People can be really evil!

Yes, that's my brother. He made blockbreaker(not a break out/dx ball game).
Recently he was busy on blockbreaker 2, but he doesn't have a lot of time.

Hello :)
Yes, I'm his little big brother, who is also a calculator freak. I was a couple of years ago active on Ti-Freakware (I even remember you!). I still program on my TI-92 plus regularly, and I'm actually finished with a second version of Block Breaker, it just needs more maps. It is still programmed in basic though, but its allot faster and better than the first version. I have still some other projects, like a program that draws koch's snowflake (a fractal), but I don't intent to release them. Well, that sums about everything I wanted to say!

Edit: I forgot to note that I'm an enthusiast computer programmer. I program in Python/Bash/C, and Linux is my main platform.

Yeah I used to post there quite often back then, but then it kinda died after a 4 months hiatus by TI-Freak8x :(. I liked Ultima and those games.

I unfortunately never tried Block Breaker. Is it available for the TI-89 Titanium too? I only got an old TI-92 (with missing pixel columns) and a TI-89T.

Anyway welcome on the forums. I hope you enjoy your stay.
