:'( Sorry I lied. It did make the AI think shorter, but only on certain times when there are overlapping position thing. I was excited that it took 10 seconds to take the 2nd and 3rd move, but as more possible moves opened up, the longer AI took to make a move... AI spends 8~70 seconds depending on available moves possible. And note that I'm running the program with TI-84+SE, so it would take twice as long on TI-83+... :(
The AI itself is not too stupid, sometimes it makes obvious mistakes, but it also surprises me with the move that I would normally miss if I didn't look carefully. But it would be easy to destroy AI if you are intermediate player playing white.

I tried to make another version of AI, where the list contains all the possible moves and their values, and the positions and values fluctuate, but it took too big of a memory (two 1000 bytes lists), speed gain wasn't too big, and the AI got more stupid, so I got rid of that idea.

What I am going to implement is the alpha-beta pruning (although idk if that's going to lower the speed significantly) and some more minimax algorithm. Also I might try to get rid of the For( group (it will increase the size of the program a lot, but I think for AI the speed is the utmost importance). Hopefully, I can get something to work.

YES! I finally found a way to make the AI faster!! I made a small look-up table that gets created every time AI goes. The position and its value that the calculator already found is stored into two lists, one for position and one for value, and if the calculator later tries to search for the value of the position that it already found, then it just gets the value from the list and move on. Using this, the AI speed got cut in half, resulting in ~10 seconds for the AI movement. I have to run tests for any bugs or things that might be present, and exactly how faster it runs, but I think it's good enough. And the amazing thing is that it only added ~50 bytes to the program (although it requires two ~30 dimension lists during the run-time)

I used TI84+SE. It was decent, i guess. What I suggest if you have enough pic var is that you save the screen into picture and after you read the img, then it recalls the picture and deletes the picture to save the name loading time. That kind of annoyed me. And I also didn't like that you had to scroll all the way down from pokemon 1 to 151 to get to mew. Can't you make it so that if you press up when you are at pokemon 1 then it goes to pokemon 151? (idk if I explained well enough)

I get a syntax error when I tried to look at mewtwo and mew. It seems like all the other pokemons doesn't. Here's the screenshot.

I really like the graphics for river! It doesn't look like it's tile based. Nice job!

fyi the Pandora isn't coming out in December, the parts were being sent to the UK for production but then the whole Iceland volcano thing happened, so once that clears up they'll get assembled and shipped out.
But good job on your new iPod touch! :)
I think that's the first batch, and those are probably already sold out through pre-ordering. Even if there were some slots left, I wouldn't want to risk my money on the first batch. The second batch will start once the first batch receivers are satisfied and people who make pandora are assured that they can make money. So they are assuming the second batch will be shipped around December or early next year^^
I might be terribly wrong tho :P This is just my understanding of what's happening with pandora.

I just realized that 3rd generation doesn't have a camera :(
And rumors saying that 4th generation will be released sometime September with the camera makes me immensely sad. Any news regarding itouch 4th generation?

Hmmm... may be I'll wait for the release of OS 4 before I try to jailbreak.
And I just noticed that the vote for pandora now exceeds itouch o.O
Well, I plan to buy the pandora for the second batch anyways, which by their estimate might come out around December.
I voted iPad just because I know a couple people that have them and they really, really enjoy them.
And I figured iPad was too expensive atm, especially knowing that apple will release updated version like 2nd generation few months later :P
