i have currently voted for the minesweeper clone!
i am a HUGE fan of minesweeper and simply loved it...
i was a bit unhappy about the buggyness at first... but after he said that he uploaded the wrong one, i tried the fixed version and it was nearly flawless...

there has never been a version of minesweeper as good as this before... they are all either really simple or some what incomplete and missing something... but this is almost PERFECT!

all its missing now are warp around (which is coming XD) and a nice highscore list :)
preferably 3 spaces for each difficulty :P

PLEASE!!!  LOL

Well for the contest, the 2nd entry to get the highest score will win 2nd prize and the 3rd one will win the 3rd prize. Idk if we need a 2nd poll unless there's a tie.
Some have big potential to get featured on ticalc.org
Potential?
With a port of WFRNG?
"Axe Parser has shown its "can-do" attitude and can now be counted as an equal in the TI calculator family"
I could almost imagine that red border already...

I didn't necessarly mean WFRNG, I meant certain of the entries. I think of Splut, for example. Also I doN't think ticalc.org posts multiple fake news at once.

One would hope they wouldn't do more than one fake news at a short interval.
I see what you mean, though.

red font is clarification

One would hope they wouldn't.
What do you mean?

EDIT: I see post edit now.

Yeah right now they seem to get less news and so many fake news would look like they have nothing to announce anymore x.x

I thought about posting a fake news lately but remembered I already posted the 42 ways to lose project data sarcastic news thing and refrained from posting another fake news in under a month.

Hmm... on a dull day I might look through the news archive.  Ticalc.org had some pretty amusing ones.
That's actually how I first heard of Axe Parser, when it was featured in June.

Yeah. I think the best fake news are around 1999-2000 and 2003-2007, though. The book of TI, the Voyage 400, the 62 ways to get your reviews accepted at ticalc.org, etc. I also remember the old WFRNG news.

Omni had some fake news but they were not as fun as some old Ticalc ones. The best Omni one is probably Zelda The Minish Cap for the 83+SE because of the context in which it was posted.

Have you seen the first survey in Ticalc?  About the number of calcs you have?
That looks like fun.

Oh wow I remember checking one a few hours ago. There was one hell of a comment string somewhere. Even on my 1920x1080 resolution I had a scrollbar...

I also remember when n00bs/trolls invaded ticalc in 2002 due to lack of moderators and every new had 300 comments. When a news editor was hired, it dropped to like 30-80 XD

well I've only had my calc for about a year, and less time than I've had my calc than that programming, but I could imagine that happening.

Wow, just about this entire page has been off topic.
Randomness board/area/thread/thing, perhaps?
wow, I'm looking at the top and suddenly there's like five people here now.

again, red font is clarification.

My portion of judging will not happen until Monday. I'll finish the rest the weekend after, most likely.

-Splut
BRILLIANT!
the concept is totally original and totally awesome. i wasnt able to get past level one, though :P is there a jump key or something? what am i missing...

You can use the left & right key to climb 1 block higher.
But just 1, if you're up against a 2 block "tower", you gotta place a block in front of it to climb it. For level 1, you you could build a staircase. But I'd discourage that, since lv1 has a faster way of solving, which is also a  mandatory skill for later levels. I'l upload a gif later, but its basically building a tower with width 2. (Blocks placement: LRLRLR and so on, always climbing on the side where a block isn't falling.

Splut for Android [----------]
Paused/halted indefinitely, might be abandoned, our graphic designer quit and the rest of us simply doesn't have the time to work on it...

Part of the reason I was going through my archive was to try to make room for some of the entries.
I guess Wabbitemu will have to do for now.
I'll try to do the game-by-game analysis.

I would like a visual expanation of that x.x (screenshot) cuz I don't get what you mean :(

The only way I could think about was a stair because of the block at the top

I didn't have any trouble, then again I use TI-Connect.

Side-Note:
Just a reminder about rule #3, try to use the "Modify" button unless you meet one of the exceptions.
