Although we are one day late on this, I am pleased to announce that Omnimaga is now 9 years old!  Omnimaga started on September 1st 2001, and so yesterday marked its ninth anniversary.  I will leave the history of Omnimaga to DJ: http://ourl.ca/3634/66325

We at Omnimaga wish to thank everyone for their hard work in helping this site to be one of the best calculator communities in the universe.  A lot of new projects have come in, and we can tell that the designers are putting their best effort into their work because they enjoy what they do.  

On top of that, the post count for this year is at an all-time high.  These posts include great questions, informative answers, and encouragements that allow our programmers to continue their work, knowing that their games and applications are greatly anticipated.  

Finally, it is very Nspiring for us that even though Ndless has barely been out, we have had some very nice Nspire projects.

I speak for the Staff at Omnimaga, as well as the Coders of Tomorrow, when I say that I look forward to the future and what Omnimaga has to offer to the world, let alone to calculator users everywhere.

DJ Omnimaga has put together a tribute video for the 9th anniversary of Omnimaga.  I wish to give a big thank you to DJ, who has been the entire backbone of Omnimaga.  Without him, we could never dream of Omnimaga being a glorious light in the future of calculator communities.  He made all of this, and much more, possible.



UPDATE: Video can now be downloaded on our site (although it is 75 MB large): http://www.omnimaga.org/otherfiles/tribute_to_omnimaga_2010.wmv

Ok cool. Yeah group unit/building were the keys I was wondering about. Thanks

  That's what I'm here for!

Talking about scouting, will we be able to hotkey specific stuff in the game for quicker access, even the ship/unit group? It might come handy for experienced players. It speeds things up a lot sometimes. I don't remember if you were adding that

Most stuff in the game has hotkeys.  Which hotkey-aided stuff were you wondering about in particular?

As to the ship/unit group, you literally "run into" an Operation Center / Transformation Gateway when you want to do something, saving you from having to press a key.  There will also be a hotkey for if you want to add/take away from your current type of ship, saving you from having to go to the ship menu.

Haha yeah true . Also even other players, when used to the game building orders a lot, will probably turn them off at specific points in the game too, since they'll know approximately how much money they have left.

And I know for a fact that when I'm scouting, I'll have the money/food count turned off so that I can see as much as there is to see.

Would it be possible to have both layed out horizontally and make them move a bit up when the text box at the bottom appears?

DJ, you're a genius (I did not think about that), and that's not a hard fix, either.  In that case, it will be just the "Plus" key to turn them both on.  However, I'll still will let people toggle it.  First of all, it does cover the screen, so people might miss buildings with it on.  Secondly, even though the speed of construction and moving units will remain constant, having the text on does make the scrolling of the map slower.

It still needs a lot of polishing though

And more mines

Regardless, that's awesome!  You've done some excellent work!

A little preview of what happens when you try to buy something you can't afford.  (I tried twice to purchase a processing unit)  Although I'm really upset that there wasn't enough room for "You've not enough belthium"

I also finally fixed the bug where pressing "CLEAR" would exit the game no matter what

Tloz128, that is absolutely epic!  I'm glad that you're in the contest with that entry
