That looks okay, but the menu screen scrolling looks a bit slow. Instead of moving the text a pixel at a time, try moving it by 2 or 4 pixels at a time. Other than that, the game looks pretty good!

Is your 9750GII upgraded to 9860G?
Yep ;)

129 new things in media O.O
Yes, the Podcasts app likes to show the number of every single podcast episode you have saved on the app icon. The only way to get rid of that is to delete podcasts >.<

My calc collection is still pretty small...
Casio fx-9750GII (power graphic 2)
TI-Nspire Touchpad + 84 keypad
TI CC40 (not a calc, but whatever)

I really like the water physics! All the mechanics available (water, boulders, ...) should open up new posisibilities for level design. Does this use any 'undocumented' z80  features? I'd like to use this on my Nspire's 84 keypad.

Wow that is nice!!! :O Certainly beats MClite... I might have to ask you for help on block placing and crafting :P

Other / R-2R resistor ladder
« on: May 31, 2013, 02:42:00 pm »
An R-2R resistor ladder is a nice little method of doing digital to analog conversion.
The one I made is 8-bit, so it can output 256 different voltages from 0V to 3.3V. Here are some pics:

You can see on my oscilloscope that I'm generating a saw wave. All I'm doing is counting from 0 to 255 really fast over and over again, and putting the number onto the 8 pins of the PIC that are connected to the resistor ladder. You can also see on the oscilloscope that the wave isn't perfectly straight, and that's because of the resistors' tolerance that is differing the resistance slightly. There's nothing I can do to fix that, except use resistors with smaller tolerance.

Here's a close up pic of the ladder:

If you want to learn more about this take a look at the wikipedia page here.

Yeah, it would be major achievements and stuff from the year (or half-year) such as neat programs, Nspire hacking development, (cc40 programmers (me)), new OSes, maybe even some computer and Casio stuff.

AoC: It beeps, but I don't know if it's an actual speaker or just a beeper thing.

Keoni: I know. My electronics mentor and I have talked about using those ports, maybe even for something as simple as lighting up an LED. I'd have to find the pinouts though which I haven't yet.

Here are two programs I've made!

The first one is a simple counting program. You give it a number, it counts from 0 to the number and from that number to 0, then asks you if you want to run it again.
Code: [Select]
90 INPUT "Count to: ";M
100 FOR I=0 TO M
110 PRINT "Count:";I;"Remaining:";M-I
120 PAUSE 0.5
130 NEXT I
140 INPUT "Count again? (y/n)";C$
150 IF C$ = "y" OR C$ = "Y" THEN GOTO 90 ELSE STOP

This program is a stopwatch. Hold in the spacebar to count, release it to pause. Press X to clear the count.
Code: [Select]
100 T=0:S$="STOP"
110 PRINT T,S$
120 CALL KEY(K,R)
130 IF K=32 THEN PAUSE .1:T=T+.1:S$="RUN" ELSE S$="STOP"
140 IF K=120 THEN T=0
150 GOTO 110

DJ, sorry no Illusiat, only one line display. And when I say no graphics, i mean no pretty pictures. There's still text!

Also i posted a picture of it on facebook (that's why it says Hello Facebook), here's the pic:

I just got a CC40 last night! It's a neat little portable computer made by Texas Instruments in 1983. It runs TI Extended BASIC (but no graphical commands) (TI BASIC is a version of Microsoft BASIC, i think), and I've already written some programs for it! :D
It has a 2.5 MHz processor and 6k of static RAM. Pictures and possibly videos coming soon!
