Jimbauwens has done a comeback into TI-89, 92+ and Voyage 200 programming to release an update to his 2006 TI-Freakware contest entry, Block Breaker for the TI-92 Plus, and also ported it to the TI-89 in the process.

Block breaker is a block puzzle platformer where you must destroy blocks to find your way to the end of each level, and it shares some similarities with Block Dude.



Both versions can be downloaded in the discussion topic.

Thanks for the feature, DJ_O!
I plan on releasing a map editor as soon as I made some more levels.

Btw, DJ, you forgot to put a spoiler tag around the screenshots, as you show how to solve that level :p

Haha, Jim! You better be joking, because that is the most easiest level there is.

Of course I'm joking! Didn't you see the ":p" at the end?

This looks like a great game, and it makes me wish I had an 89 to play it on.   Great job, Jim.

Thanks all!

Its 68k Basic. Maybe I'll ever port it to C, but I'm not sure.

A map editor would be epic.

And yeah this is 68K BASIC. It supports sprites, although a bit slow of course, but much more powerful than z80 calcs. I think the dwindling 68K userbase was mostly due to TI pushing the TI-Nspire, selling it for a similar price and people got attracted by the larger screen and RAM. They sure got ripped if they planned to program games in Nspire BASIC.

Ok, the map editor (for both calcs) is attached to this post.
I also made a quick animated screenshot.
