Site revamping and Illusiat 81 updates
« on: December 29, 2008, 10:13:46 pm »
There have been some updates on the forums and website. The menu bar at the top was sorted as close as how it was on the old Omnimaga forums. The download discussion section on the forums, which was starting to get very cluttered, was removed. However, members now have the ability to comment directly on file info pages in the download section as well as on members profiles, like on Youtube. An old feature from the old Omnimaga board was also added, allowing you to browse all topics by a member in particular, not just individual posts. Quite ironically on the old board you could view all topics from a member, but not posts. Also, on the member list, you can now see when each members last posted (if they posted at all). We may also switch to a new portal system if the new portal, made by the same authors as the download system we are using right now, reaches full functionality and becomes stable.

On the calculator side, I updated Illusiat 81 in the archives, because there were some typos in the source code. The game has also been ported to the TI-73 and from the TI-82 to the TI-84 models, for those who want to see how the game looked like but don't own a TI-81. The port to later models has some minor slow downs and is bigger in size than its original counterpart because it was optimized to have less subroutines to not clutter the PRGM menu too much and slowed down because the TI-81 ran at 2 MHz, while the TI-82, 83 and 83+ run at 6 MHz. The game was not adapted to the 15 MHz calculators speed, though, so on these it will run twice faster, like most other BASIC games.

It's nice to see some updates to the site. I'll try Illusiat when I have some time. =)
