Okay, here I am. I know I've been quite a while inactive here, but it was for a good cause.

Mabe you guys still remember that my very first avatar here was a Tamagothi drawed on a 89? Well that was a discontinued program of me, but now...
I am planning to make a Tamagotchi Simulator of the original one(P1/Gen1) in TI-Basic for the 89.

There is one HUGE problem though: I don't own a Tamagotchi anymore. I ever had one but lost it. Therefore I have joined a tamagotchi forum where I hope to get the info I need about this tamagotchi, since I want to make a correct simulator. Anyway, this is in early PLANNING stages only. I am not yet busy on the calc.

So once I get all the information I need to know I'll officially start on it. I hope everything goes fine.. The good thing is that if I get it good finished I might be able to use the engine for other tamagotchis(P2, angelgotchi, ocean, etc..).
So yeah, just that you know what I am up to.

P.s: If you still have an old tamagotchi that is just lying in your house feel free to send it to me.

My first avatar(so you have an idea how it will look like):

If you need some sprites, I'll be glad to help you.

Thanks, but I don't think I'll need that, since I'll use the original sprites.

Thanks, I'll try to put some time into this although I'm studying for exams.

This is great! I have a Tamagotchi v5.5, and had one of those $2 "digipet" fake tamagotchi (it's broken now btw).
I have played the Gameboy version on gbc4nspire (of course!). Perhaps that might help?
EDIT: Actually tho I doubt it cause it was quite different.

Stefan Bauwens · « **Reply #5 on:** February 08, 2012, 03:19:07 pm »

Yes, it's pretty different iirc. But I'm thinking of buying one.

Jonius7 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 09, 2012, 05:37:01 am »

The v5.5? Yeah. However I heard the v6 (which was available when I purchased the v5.5 btw but for an extra $10 AUD) is even more different. It focuses on music and your tamagotchis pursue some sort of music career. Anyway, I don't really know how to get v1 cuz it's almost like a classic toy and will be hard to find.
There have been some Tamagotchi games made before but none like the graphical one you're attempting:

Just search in ticalc.org.

Stefan Bauwens · « **Reply #7 on:** February 09, 2012, 08:34:28 am »

Oh, I meant buying a P1/Gen1, which may be confused with version 1/V1. P1 is even older than the V1.

And yes they are pretty rare and expensive. I found one that I think I'll buy though.

Also that tamagotchi(in the link) looks more textbased. Mine will probably look more like this one: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/151/15179.html

Stefan Bauwens · « **Reply #8 on:** February 12, 2012, 07:18:07 am »

I have ordered a Tamagotchi P2, so that'll hopefully help me a lot.

Just waiting for it to be sent.

Stefan Bauwens · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2012, 07:55:06 am »

Yes! I got my tamagotchi in the mail today. I'll note everything it does, in the hope I find it's 'algorithm'

.
Just letting you guys know.

Jonius7 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 25, 2012, 06:06:17 am »

Hey sorry for not replying, I didn't notice the post there, I am just passing on my posting spree.
Wow I didn't know about the P1/P2 versions. Good to see you have a P2. So how is the coding going overall?

Stefan Bauwens · « **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2012, 06:56:56 am »

Well, there's not any coding going on yet. That's, I think, the most easy part. What I'm now doing is running my P2, and writing everything down it does(like when it goes to sleep, needs to eat, gets sick, etc...).
And I put it on pause a lot(I just put the time to SET) because I really don't want to miss anything important.
So far it seems, a little bit surprising to me, that it's not really random at all, even though it may seem like that. But that's good for me.

After my Tamagotchi 'dies', 'goes to heaven', (whatever you like to call it), I will probably run it again still a few times to see the characteristic's of each character.

Interesting. I like how the image look like. Also I didn't realize tamagochi still existed, since I rarely hear about them anymore nowadays.

Well, the one I have isn't anymore sold officially(although it was new). Now they sell the Tama-Go(the modern tamagotchi's) which are in color and can connect to the computer. Totally different actually than the old ones.

Jonius7 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 25, 2012, 06:11:24 pm »

Tama-Go? I've never heard of them, and in colour? That's a surprise. I mus pursue and find out about this!
EDIT: The actual portable isn't in colour lol, it's on the computer, I might have heard of something like this b4.
