The post in question is being addressed. I think it's just poor wording on his part.
Yeah actually it got edited it seems by the author. Also he's not english native, according to his forum profile, so that might be why.

Also that looks very nice Stefan. :D

'oly crap. Myst was an awesome game, not so much for the gameplay but for the artwork.

Yeah, a version oncalc with beautiful graphics would be badass.

Also, lol Homestuck inside jokes. (Of course, this is not MSPAForums, not everyone here reads MSPA, although we have some huge fans here, so don't be surprised some people finds some of them offensive.)

I personally played it at school once. Teacher wanted us to play through the game but I forgot why actually. It was for a small school work or something. It was indeed a great looking game.

I played it on our ipod and I just fell in love with it. I couldn't wait for riven to come out for ios, so when it did I immediately downloaded it. They're both MARVELOUS games.

So I decided to give an attempt to make it for the 89.
(If I was your teacher I would also let you play the game, just because its so nice. :) )

EDIT: @builderboy: When I first played myst I didn't have a clue what the goal is because there isn't one given. Sadly I used hints. But when I finished myst I realized I should have tried more stuff out and not have used hints.

First I was using a matrix to store all the coordinates and picture-names, but because this got to slow if it the row number was bigger than 100(or even less).
For example, If you type this in home:
Code: [Select]
matvar[1,1]And than you type this:
Code: [Select]
matvar[100,1]The last one takes longer to load. This could all together in my game make a delay up to 2 seconds after pressing enter(to go to another pic).
So my plan(actually Jim's plan) is to make all separate lists. This will go a lot faster.

Just saying this that you know I'm working on it.  ;)

Darn I didn't realize matrices were slower to read data from further in them. On the 84+ this happens with strings of like 1000 characters too.

I didn't know it too, but I found out...
But happily it won't be to hard to convert my(not yet full) matrix to lists. :)

I hope lists won't end up doing the same thing. X.x

For odd reasons I never noticed any matrix slow down on the 83+, but again maybe it's because it was 16x8 instead of like 128x1.

My matrix would have about 300 rows and 35 collums.(finished) :D
But if all my lists are separate, I wouldn't see how I could getvthe same problem...
I will just try it out and see.
Also, maybe the 83 matrices and the 89 matrices work (totally) different.

I have just really gotten into Myst. Would love to see a demo on the TI-84+ SE :)

Well, I don't have that calc. I only program for 68k calcs. Making myst for the 84+ would be very difficult because the screen has a lot less pixels than the ti 89. But If somebody would draw each picture by hand, not using the real pics, it might go... But that IS a lot of work, sadly enough.
But I have heard of Dj_O that 'Illusiat 5', a game that he made, is a short point and click adventure for your kind of calcs. And because Myst is also a point and click adventure you might like that game, but I myself didn't try it (Yet).
