Something like cuberunner (one word, two links), but made into a racing game.

Maybe even with AI O.O (like TinycarZ?)
even something like megacar, with only tracks, would be win.

By the way, how about a simple Minecraft version for TI-84+? Do you think, this is possible? :P
You mean in 2D? Like Terraria?
Yes, of course in 2D. (I think, it isn't possible to make this game in 3D on a calculator. o.O)

I could probably make a port of cuberunner for nspire, but only after I finish my contest project.

There's this website that's full of mostly monochrome puzzles...lots of ideas there. ;)

That's a bit different than what would be needed for 3D mine craft on calc :P what would be needed would be an engine for drawing textures polygons in 3 spatial dimensions.

Hey I have an Idea for an Axe game.

What about an Axe Parser Programming game like RubyWarrior is for Ruby.

http://dorkbyte.com/2010/12/ruby-warrior-learn-ruby-while-playing-games/

Given the main purpose of Axe it would seem fitting.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Or raycasting, but it would have to be for every pixel of the screen, instead of every column which is unfeasible even on a nspire (it can't cast 76800 rays even @ 150mhz). Though on a computer, raycasting could be used to make minecraft playable for computers with fast processors but integrated graphics, by raycasting all of the solid blocks, while generating a z buffer, then transferring that to the graphics chip and letting it use the z buffer to draw the mobs and non cubic blocks with polygons.

There's plenty of capable people around here ;)

That being said it would have to be pretty limited...isometric monochrome of 4-level gs 2D would probably be the only ways to do it while keeping it at 6mhz :/
...unless some heavily modified raycaster in pure ASM were used, but that would be 15mhz :P

I think a raycaster with only 4-8 directions of view could pull it off. The only hard part is texture rendering, IMO. Well, that and the raycasting. :P

But it would work like this:

If inFrontOfFace=Occupied:
Draw lines around block
Draw texture
Else
If inFrontOfFace-1 (farther away) = occupied:
the same
elses repeat for desired view distance.
and you draw your front face. The hard part comes with detecting blocks exposed on the sides by other, missing blocks. also, transparent blocks would be harder.

I'm not trying to bash the idea, but Minecraft's graphics are actually incredibly difficult to do (in spite of how simple they look). The fact that the world is entirely customizable means that almost all of the little shortcuts and cheats that are used to do normal graphics don't work. I would greatly love to be proven wrong about the chances of even a limited port of it, though.

well, but finally it would be very hard to code, yes.

I'd agree with you on that. Normally the game world is static and only includes what the gamer can see. So if you were for some reason on the top of an inaccessible hill you would see emptiness behind you. Same thing if you poked a hole in a mountain. But in minecraft there are 10,000's of hidden polygons at any moment so special tricks must be used to determine which are to be sent to the gpu. But then this testing phase also takes many cycles too making coding the graphics so hard.

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)
