TI Z80 / Re: [WIP] TI84+ Herocore clone

You are lucky, you still have a working computer that has a floppy drive. D:
Actually: I had to put it in there myself since it did not come with one. I once got 8 3,5inch diskette drives from someone and I spraypainted one black to match my pc's color. Luckily my motherboard still has a header for it.

In Hero Core you save your game at a floppy disk icon. Therefore I thought it was fitting to back up my coding progress on this 3,5 inch disk.

These are not tiles found in the original herocore. As I said the walls in herocore are just plain white blocks, but because of the level design it can represent anything. Sometimes the level looks like a cave and sometimes it looks like a metal structure. Because I do not have large rooms I have to make the tiles suggest which environment the player is in. The rocky tiles are for natural environments including caves.

In herocore you enter a large asteroid with a fortress inside. The fortified room containing the final boss is surrounded by caves, factories and different zones. In these area's you find a boss which give you items upon death which make it easier to progress. Once you arrive at the last boss your chance of survival depends on your skill and the amount of items that you have collected from bosses. (you do not have to defeat them all to get to the last boss, but the boss is easier to defeat with your stats maxed out)

I spent about 15 minutes teaking the wall texture so it did not look weird when tiled or used as a single block. You can learn this, but it requires a lot of time and patience.

New wall tiles. The original game had plain white tiles for walls, but I think given the low resolution I should put more detail into individual tiles. Wall tiles are new.

Apparently the lcd driver has some tricks to get around that. Can you hardware vertical scroll?

TI Z80 / What if Metroid... were on the 84+CSE?

@DJ_O vertical corridors that function as a hub are what defines the 2d metroid games. Dropping vertical scrolling is not an option.

The whole problem is that only TI calculators are allowed on some tests (and sometimes casio and hp, but those are also expensive).

I wonder if someone can stop this madness. A company that has the balls to just sell a dirt cheap graphing calculator that does the same.

Here in the netherlands it's always like this: The shops pricetags tell the price used to be €199,99 and now it's only €139,99 (which is still US$180.) Imagine you'd have to pay €200 for a TI84+ (US$260!!!!!)

I went to the mall today and they had the CSE, so it's out in the netherlands. They also had the regular 84+, a casio fx-9860gii and a nspire touchpad. I have not seen a prizm yet though.

Now is the time to back up all of those floppies. I have a lot of blank diskettes here, but I only use one for transferring files from my pc to my dos computer.

I ordered mine online at the site of the same company that distributed our books back in highschool. Maybe that's how it works in germany too?

By the way, is the PRIZM sold yet in the Netherlands? Sometimes european countries tend to get new calc models years later, if at all.
I think it is sold here. A lot of small electronics stores carry them. I saw Nspires go for less than TI84+ calcs all over the place. (messed up, right?)
