The idea is not dead, but the version on TI-nspire Basic is. Stay tuned.

i can upload them here if anyone wants to see them without having to sign up... there are 2, and they're on the nspire. one's a screenshot of a text battle engine and the other shows how many maps you've completed. they aren't graphical. nice job jhgenius (: hopefully you'll post some more as you progress

thanks for the quick reply! hopefully if i make more progress then ill be able to post them onto ticalc.org or on omnimaga but right now i don't have much of the game yet.
i was going to make something graphical but im not sure how to.
Ok heres the screenshots:

Nice, I wish the Nspire had more graphic capabilities in BASIC (even if just ASCII like most Illusiat games), but I like the idea so far. I hope to see more progress in the future

Btw you can attach files directly to forum posts here. If it fails, you need to use your site, Imageshack or http://img.removedfromgame.com/ , though

now that i made the discovery about graphing capabilities, i can make a more graphical game. please be aware that i intend to finish the foundations in text based format for the next 3 months or so (sorry it takes a while) and THEN gradually move to the graphic window. hope that's fine as that happened with my Texas hold 'em game, which starrted in May. if people gave me suggestions then it might be quicker

now have chem exam

Aaah I see. Don't pressure yourself too much. I hope you find some free time after your trip.

I thought graphing utilities in games for the Nspire were really hard to use and such and couldn't really be used well in games? I could be wrong, just thought I read that somewhere. Good luck though

And like DJ said, don't put to much pressure on yourself and such. Focus on school and such first

Jonius7 · « **Reply #7 on:** September 08, 2010, 01:29:36 am »

it kind of is hard, you know, plotting every point would be hard, unless you have the graph window right, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. and yes, i have exams. eng and maths tomorrow

As of date, i have now made some progress with the battle engine, though the most of it isn't even coded yet. that's why it's still stuck on 0.2a1

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #9 on:** October 25, 2010, 02:46:35 am »

Ah ok. Nice to see this is back on track, though.

Jonius7 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2010, 09:15:51 pm »

seletion engine complete. v0.2alpha2 should be out in a few hours!

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2010, 10:00:41 pm »

By the way, In such game would it be possible to implement energy bar tricks by superposing multiple rectangles to form shapes or stuff that looks like sprites to have some form of graphics, or would it be out of the question?

Jonius7 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 26, 2010, 06:43:56 am »

I was thinking of that, but it would be easier with individual plots and since greyscale is now possible, i can actually make really good, and possibly high resolution sprites!!! So, no, not out of the question, i guess it would be much more tedious though than a ti-84, it's not as easy as Plot( 55,26) there are graphing windows that have different scales. I would probably have to do something like {-2.25,-2.27) etc. also x values are separate from y values. But definitely not out of the question, good opportunity!
Also i am now releasing v0.2 alpha 2 now. Not much changes though, lots of things are still incomplete, lots of bugs and errors that will be evidently there.

since alpha 1:
- completed computer selection troop engine
- upgraded some other battle things
- fixed some bugs with player selection troop engine (but this created it's own bugs which i haven't fixed)
- more soon
(progress should hopefully now gain speed now that i have the calc in hand)

i just realised that the alpha 1 was in the other topic! oh well

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #13 on:** October 26, 2010, 01:53:31 pm »

Ah ok I see. It would be great to see a strategy game for the TI-Nspire with actual graphics. It would show even more that we can do many things with very few (in reference to the limited TI-Nspire BASIC programmability).

Does the new version work with OS 1.7? Because I have an emulator setup right now and I might give some programs a try.

EDIT: Nvm the emulator won't even let me transfer any file.

get a 1.7 os transfer the file, then upgrade the os
