Wizards beta 2 released

NanoWar has released the second demo of his promising game called Wizards. This is a card game, and there has been a long time between demos.
If this demo lives up to, or surpasses his first you are in for a real treat, due to the fact that it is a very well done game.
I heartily recommend that you download and test the game

I never thought that the game was being still worked upon...
I'll go and install the app this evening... hoping it'll work on the NSpire.

You should really try.  ;)

The main and biggest difference from MTG is that you actually only have one monster. The cards resemble the tactics ... I never got much into the MTG duels.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)

I'm not a big fan of card games, but indeed, some sw33t programming done there!

I must admit that I never played card games...
But Wizards (the 1st beta and this one) is great!

I've only encountered one bug (sort of): when I send the file to the calc, the loading bar only completes 30%, and then the file is sent. It seems to work fine on calc, but I fear that this might mean a problem with signing the app, which might result in an incomplete transfer.
Oh, and it also strangely disables all the hooks on the calc. Don't know why.

Yep, I confirm, the 30% loading is worse than I thought:
when I select "play" in its menu, Wizards randomly runs an app (I had it run Chip and Bowling this way :P ).
And also, when I put too many cards in the deck (or maybe it's because of a bug with one of the bottom cards?), the calc freezes when I enter the arena.
These bugs are possibly due to me using the NSpire 84+ emu, so I recon this isn't so bad a problem. But sadly, I had to delete it from my calc to protect my ROM. Hopefuly, an update will repair this. I think I'll go and report this on the RevSoft forum.

For some reason, when I try to send the app over via Ti-Explorer, the loading bar doesn't even show up. It goes straight to the circle-y thing, and stops. The app does not show up on calc.

Any ideas on why? And how I could manage to get it over?

Do you mean TI Device Explorer (which comes with TI-Connect)? It's generally only to send apps content to the computer and barely works. I just right click the file in Windows and select Send to TI Device.
