That sounds awesome!  Nice job!

That looks like a neat routine.  Nice job calc84!

lol, wouldn't a game about him be fun?

I've decided it's time to release a project that I've very proud of.  It's Exodus, an excellent basic platformer.

"Exodus is an extremely fun yet difficult platformer for the TI-83/84 series calculators.  So far there are 14 levels (ordered in the order that I made them) that should provide lots of fun.  Upon first glance, Exodus looks like most other games released for the calculator, with monochrome graphics and loading times, but it includes many features rarely seen in Basic games.  Exodus includes actual enemies that you must avoid and shoot to advance to the next level.  Also there are gems you must collect and a flag you need to be at, at the end of each level.  If that's not enough, there are also switches that control a tile that toggles between solid and clear whenever you shoot the switch.  Finally there are crumbling blocks that disappear after you've stepped on them more than once and spikes that you cannot land on.  Exodus also features unheard of speed for a TI-Basic game, so fast that if you hold one of the arrows it skips the frame immediately after moving for the first time.  Also the entire game is in only one program with no external variables so it is easier to keep track of.  Exodus is one of the best games ever coded in TI-Basic language and a must try.  Click link to download one of the greatest games you'll ever play."

I need some feedback from you guys before I release a full version.  Which levels did you think were incredibly easy, and which did you think were incredibly hard?  Also, if you guys can make levels I will include them in the final game.  I'm hoping to have around 25 levels in the final game.  As proof that I'll put them in the game, levels 13 and 14 were designed by Meishe.

Thanks for trying this and please discuss.

Okay, but I'm not changing it back...

I may at some point in the future program stuff like games, when I'm a bit more comfortable with coding (and have a link cable). I've got plenty of storyline ideas for RPGs (I write a lot of fanfiction and original fiction) as it is right now.

Thank you for your suggestion, I will most certainly keep that in mind (and add the links to my bookmarks as well).

That sounds great.  I really like that you write your own storylines, as it provides a unique and cool twist on each game.
