Looks like I'm going to finally write a real game. I'll go with BASIC.

Looking good
Just to clarify - do they necessarily need to have a history of being calc games? I've got my eye on a certain 2600 title..

Hey, I hope it's not breakout, it's already taken.

@Dapianokid:
So, you made a post just to quote what other people said in this thread? Please don't spam.

I think he might have did a mistake when using quote and probably put his reply inside the tags. But I agree

I really serves no purpose whatsoever.

I'm just getting back into developing Elvyna 4, but I'll consider this if I have time. My parents might not appreciate a random CSE in a mailbox, though.

Yeah this was why the 2010-12 contests featured digital prizes (gift cards). In 2009 the winner had to get the prize sent to his friend, else his parents would have freaked out upon the discovery that their address was put on the Internets.  Since Omnimaga's userbase is generally much younger than Cemetech's, we have often been relunctant about giving away physical prizes.

* shmibs recommends that people head to ticalc.org, try playing a bunch of different things, and see what seems the most fun as a good place to start

good luck, everyone!

Yeah, just make sure to follow Geekboy's advice on originality, though. Don't just make a blatant ripoff of Grayscale Number Guessing Game or yet another Snake clone. Also, although coding skills aren't noted, I am fairly sure that if the game is unnecessarily slow and large for its amount of features, that this will affect useability score. A 50 KB, 15-MHz-only large grayscale Mario clone with very detailed maps would be fine, but a monochrome Minesweeper clone that takes 30 KB of Flash and requires a 15 MHz calc to run fast enough would not.

If all things pan out its looking to currently be
1 ti-85
1 ti-83+se
1 ti-82 OR 1 ti-83  as I don't have two
of the same for that one >.>

Hoping to over clockk the ti83+se's tho


Also updated the first post with more information

Yeah at first I thought that a grab bag was simply something like a small backpack. English as second language played tricks on me >.<

Btw, are there pics of the t-shirt ideas available?

The bag looks good. Especially with the 83PSE, though I'll probably need the appropriate link cable (I have only the direct USB one). But I still like the 84CSE better, even if TI messed up somewhat on it.

Hmm, I don't know where I would place the game I'm making.
