lol. 
Old as in not new. 

I don't have Lobster peanuts, but I have the Tao variety:



By the way, I'm working on the Team Battle too!

thanks, but who are you?  (jk )

That took me forever to decipher, and I still haven't completely got it.    oh well, fluentness will come with time... Hopefully. 

I think theres a not complete list at brandonw's wiki.
btw, who was in the IRL Omnimaga team?  do any of them still frequent calc forums?

can I test too?

Thanks everyone for the help. I've come up with another question. I spent some time looking through TIBD to get an idea of what to expect, and it all seems pretty understandable. The only thing that seems to confuse me is graphics. I looked at some Ti-BASIC games, and it seems it's possible to use some type of sprite in a game, but I don't see any direct commands to do so. Instead there are mentions about text sprites and hard code sprites, which I don't really understand. Can anyone explain to me how sprites are displayed, moved, etc. in Ti-Basic? You don't have to give me a full step-by-step tutorial or anything, just a general idea of how its done.

Hard-code sprites:

Don't use these unless you just can't figure out how to make it with text sprites.

its basically using pxl-on and all the coordinates to make a pic:
:ClrDraw
:AxesOff:FnOff
:Pxl-on(0,0
:Pxl-on(1,1
:Pxl-on(2,2
:Pxl-on(3,3
:Pxl-on(4,4
:Pxl-on(0,4
:Pxl-on(4,0
that code makes a 5x5 "x"
as you can see, that isn't memory efficient at all. 

Text Sprites:
These use the first row of pixels in a character as part of the sprite.  So if you wanted a 5x5 lobster:
the 1s are black, and the 0s are white.   
11000
00101
01111
00101
11000
you would find a character that when put on the graphscreen, has a first column of pixels that look like this:
1
0
0
0
1
which would be an "I"
that looks like this:
11100
01000
01000
01000
11100
see the similarties in the first column? 

similarly, the next character would have the first column identical to the second column of the lobster sprite, so it would be a "≥", and so on.  to display this sprite:
:ClrDraw
:"I≥C-C[][]->Str1  \\replace the "[]"s with a space and a "->" with the STO key.
:For(A,0,6
:Text(R,C+A,sub(Str1,A+1,1
:End
R and C are where you the coordinates of your sprite: (Row and Column)
this works because each time A is incremented by 1 and add that to C, the first column's of each character keep moving to the left, clearing everything in the previous character but the first column.  and then the two spaces at the end clear the last character's extra columns.

Hope that helped. 

(so I didn't waste all that time.  )  ...jk

Welcome here!
I can't believe I didn't reply to an intro topic until the 4th page!    I'm usually one of the first. 

I thought I'd join (not as staff).    I won't be as active there as Omni, but I think I'll help boost activity.

EDIT:  IMO, RS has  a better chance to gain populartiy than MC. 

Wow, now that I'm learing ASM, this helps me a lot more.  I was concerened about not being able to access a comp enough to write ASM programs.
