I updated my very first TIGCC game (one year after its release), which in turn was a remake of my very first TI-BASIC game. The update makes use of the knowledge I gained in C programming over the last year (adds double-buffering, responsive controls, and an overall nicer feel). Oh, and it also saves hiscores for the two minigames in an external file.
It has two minigames: Classic (whack-a-mole type), and Freerun (move over whale and shoot).
NTW isn't a part of Day5, but just a small minigame.
Edit: Get it from ticalc.org

Haha, I always heard that term. Sounds like fun, where is the link for the basic version?

The TI-BASIC version is
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/356/35661.html
. I remember I updated it once, but it's still probably rubbish. Since then I improved in TI-BASIC, but jumped to C and never came back to update my BASIC software
Here's a screenie:
Speaking of BASIC, I'll take advantage and show you a micro project I coded last summer in the few spare moments of my vacation:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/374/37404.html
. I think that's the most fun I ever had coding
Screenshot:
It runs at a whooping 4 frames per second, and scrolls one pixel line at a time!

rarely are 89 basic games not "pure" The structure allows you to do a lot.

Yep it's pure. TI-Basic 68k natively has all kinds of neat graphical functions, from XORing pictures of any sizes at any coordinates on the screen, to saving a specific portion of the screen to a separate PIC file. It's much more flexible than native z80 Basic, but of course not nearly as powerful or fast when z80 Basic uses xLib...

The answer is quite simple, a couple of years ago I watched a Simpsons episode where Nelson Muntz had a poster that said "NUKE THE WHALES". That was so pointlessly evil and random that it burned itself on my memory. Therefore, when the time came, I made a TI game out of it
