Yes, but since I didn't know there was a contest, I had no enough time to finish it.

Your Mario is amusing but take a huge time at the beginning, that's pity !

Ok. Have you tried my mario on a ti 84+ ? It is really fast...

Suggestion: Use WabbitEmu (and Rom8x to dump a rom from your calc for use with the emulator) and set the speed around 200%. This will give you an idea of how fast the game will run normally on a 84+ model, although certain parts might be slightly slower).

And yeah making a BASIC game very fast is extremely hard and making an action game is even more harder. Even when using libraries it's still slow. An example would be my Metroid II game and Reuben Quest (although Reuben used plenty of outdated library commands). This is why I often thought making an RPG was one of the easiest kind of BASIC project, but making an RPG takes so incredibly long and you need to have played a lot of '90s RPGs)

@Contra-sh there is no problem. It can be in one of the contest threads, this one or of course you can comment directly in the respective project threads. Just as long as game criticism, negative or positive, is made within the forums rules and not like "ur game sux u should kill urself" 

About games with no instructions, IMHO there should be a penalty on gameplay if you have troubles figuring out how to play. In fact in the previous Omnimaga contests there were and this is why entries like Splut and Cube Droid Save the Galaxy lost a lot of points in the "gameplay" category and even costed a 3rd place win to Ikkerens.

Actually personally I hate writing readmes. If I absolutely need one I would just write the controls and a quick summary on how to play and that's it, just so people don't have to figure out.

No discussions : we give a penalty of 1 point. That's few : 0,5 point of 20

Secondly : "although certain
parts might be slightly slower" <--- no, if you run a ti-83 plus at 200%, you get 6x2 =12MHz. The ti 84 is a 15 MHz.

Personaly, I use a real ti 83 calculator : otherwise, the gameplay is not the same.

The screenshot in my archive is for 1.3.3 version ; why did contra decide put it with the 1.4.3 version ?

Well people were just giving suggestions and their view on the penalty subject. No need to be rude at us for suggesting stuff. (Telling us "No discussion" basically means we need to shut up)

Also I ran tests with emulators in the past to compare a 83+ running twice faster with a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition at 100% speed and barely saw any difference in TI-BASIC, providing the program drew stuff on the screen. Due to LCD delays I guess this is what gives the impression that BASIC games seem to run at 12 MHz instead of 15. I just remember from experience that my BASIC programs would never seem to run at the full 15 MHz on 15 MHz calcs. Hence why I suggested trying at 200% speed.

If my BASIC programs really ran 2.5 times faster on 15 MHz calcs than the 83+, do you think I would have suggested that? No.

Le Solutioneur tu devrais faire attention comment tu traites les gens ou comment tu t'exprimes sur ce forum. Il y a 7 mois je crois, tu t'étais presque fait bannir d'Omnimaga à cause d'un malentendu qui avait l'air d'un troll contre les programmeurs TI et aussi pour essayer de décider ce qui est permis ou pas sur Omnimaga.
