To be better explained, I program my 84 and 89 in class, and they want me to not be distracted. Quite frankly, they're right on that one, but it still doesn't keep me from wanting those calcs.

Ooh, an other jMonkeyEngine coder.

The combination of voxels and fps seems quite interesting. I can't wait to see how the gameplay turns out.

I noticed that the video is quite laggy. jMonkeyEngine has a video recorder appstate. Maybe you'll get better results if you use that.

BTW: did you code your own voxel engine or did you use a plugin?

I'll check into the video recording appstate

I used the "cubes" plugin: http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:contributions:cubes

The current play style will have two phases: build phase and play phase. The build phase allows placing non-destroy-able blocks and placing and removing destroy-able blocks to build a base. The play phase allows placing and removing destroy-able blocks.

Anyway, my parents won't let me buy any new calcs with my own money, so if/when they'll let me, it's going to be a tough choice as to which calc I should buy.

So I've been working on this game with epic7 (though he's been on vacation, so he hasn't done much yet) called Block Shot Fortress.

Here is the official announcement/first dev update video:



As you see, not much yet. Multiplayer is our next priority, then the FPS, then the TF2 MOBA elements, then making better graphics. Let us know what you think!

Current Team:

Person who got the team together: Me
Coders: Epic7, Me
Graphic design/models: An IRL friend of mine named Mike
Website making: Sorunome (I think)
Website design: A few IRL friends of mine (maybe, still tentative)
Concept art: An IRL friend of mine (if he is not going to be too busy with college)

Darn it. I think it's a bit high to compete with the CX (which MSRP's at $129, I think).

That said, it's right about where the ti-89 is (I think). maybe it's trying to compete in the college market and not the HS market...

I really hope the price point is less than the CX, the 84 C, the 84, and the PRISM. If HP can add some good competition to the mass market, then we might just get our calcs down under $100 MSRP.

Cool. Bebop's fun to dance to, but a bit too square for my liking when I just listen to it. I like stuff that get complex really quickly and is more improv-based. I tend to like combo-type jazz (Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, etc.), as well as some fusion. In terms of written jazz, I am a fan of changing time signatures, and pieces that keep you guessing, but still have a recognizable motif.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I learned the origins of bebop in jazz band last year. At the time of bebop's invention (WWI era, I think), jazz was pretty much the devil's music in the military's eyes (too complex, plus the atmosphere of the places it is normally played was not to the military's liking), so a jazz band (forget which one) made more square, dance-type, and upbeat jazz, called bebop. They then tried to get contracts with the military to become official entertainment for soldiers in camps and such. The only one of their songs I remember is "Little Brown Jug," which we played in jazz band, and was discussed because we were playing it.

I was feeling really troll-ish the day of the other 2.
So you're the only one who has the right to troll ? Sorry but you'll need a better excuse next time.

Back on topic :
What if I didn't get a TI-80 by the time I didn't need a graphing calc ?
I wouldn't have as much experience in programming and probably would never code on calc.
I would have an actual life.
I wouldn't have any idea on what to do later.
Conclusion : I'd be yet another teen aka nothing. D:
indeed, feeling trollish one day doesn't grant us the right to troll (at least without any consequences here).

Also with your TI-80, you could experience the speed of 84+CSE program editor scrolling before other people. :P i never coded for it, though, because I was too used to the freedom I had on the 83+. (Getkey, pics, output, more drawing commands, RAM, fast Disp scrolling), ASM libs)

I know, and I'm sorry...

What if I were not in calc AB this past year?
Well, my life would have sucked and school would have been boring...

Guys, please keep this hypothetical and joke-free. Thank you.
that's what people have been doing so far (except maybe one or two post)? One single joke and you get all worked up? Get a sense of humor. Besides, before complaining about other people's random/joke posts, you should maybe look in a mirror. Thank you.

First of all, 2 were in H&J. Second of all, I was feeling really troll-ish the day of the other 2.

But I understand what you are saying, and I'll try to stop.
