Tried it.  Do you have to get an achievement to unlock the next level or something?  I beat the first level twice, both with scores >9000, but it still shows a ? where the 2 should be. nvm, see two posts down
Imo, the input routine could be changed a bit..maybe pressing ALPHA makes a space or something.

Also, a bug report, which I guess is another zany asm thing.  I paused, quit, and 2nd+on didn't work...

Other than that, epic win

Btw, for the ticalc.org version, I'd suggest putting in a screenie.  Unfortunately, some people look at nothing but the screenie, and without one it might not get as much attention as it deserves...


EDIT: I'm guessing the errs are a crabcakey thing, so I'll provide some info
84PBE
OS 2.43
Boot 1.02
Hardware revision B
Ran with CalcUtil 2.021 (latest version)

It seems to me there's some difference between the version uploaded on omni and the one on ticalc.  I tried the one on omni and it wouldn't let me go to the next level but the one from ticalc.org works fine (in that one respect at least )

EDIT:
Aichi, you uploaded the game into the BASIC section.  That might cause a problem...
If possible, a place like this http://www.ticalc.org/pub/83plus/asm/games/ would be a better place to put it

EDIT2:
Feature requests...
1) Make name input default to spaces, or have it so when a certain key is typed the current selection turns into a space.  Atm it takes about a whole minute  to type ina name, and it's sort of confusing at first (My first recorded score is under the name "DAAAAAAA"
2) In-game teacher key.  Feigns calc turning off, but is really just a pause with a Shade(0) before it.  Pressing ON ends program and returns shading to the norm.

This information is stored directly in the program. You should make you sure that your shell supports writeback. I did all testing on DoorsCS7 and it supports writeback.
I'll add converting the current character into space by pressing DEL.

Yeah, I'll attach a screenshot together with some bugfixes in v1.01.
And I'm sure that I uploaded it into the correct section. It must have been changed by an admin who didn't look properly at The Game.
EDIT: Eh, does anyone know how to change the section back?
EDIT²: I'm going to send a mail to Ticalc.

Also, a bug report, which I guess is another zany asm thing.  I paused, quit, and 2nd+on didn't work...

It's Devrays' (or Crabcakes) fault, sorry. =/ Just press 2ND -> MODE or CLEAR at the home screen.
EDIT: It is caused by the pause mode. I use getkey^r to get access to APD and contrast changing during pausing.

Edit2:
     Found It!!!!!!! When the program starts, you forgot to clear ($89D8). If my guesses as to how axe works are correct, then that should be around variable "R". Someone who knows more than me about axe could probably tell you exactly which one it is though.

And btw, that took way to long to find

Edit3:
     Yes, that should be "R". Axe.inc says so.

R works as a permanently switcher in my game.
(R=0)->RIf R is 0, it gets 1, otherwise it gets 0.
I use it to simulate moving 0.5 pixels per frame and I thought it doesn't matter what R is at the start,
so I didn't initialize it. Thanks a lot for finding that bug. You'll get an entry in the special thanks if you want.
And which shell do you use on the real calc?

2) In-game teacher key.  Feigns calc turning off, but is really just a pause with a Shade(0) before it.  Pressing ON ends program and returns shading to the norm.

Nice idea, LOG could set the contrast to 0 and call Devrays' pause routine.
I don't want to tempt someone to not concentrate to math though.

v1.01 Update!

• The sprite of the "1" has been changed
• Presetted highscores have been added
• Pressing DEL during the name input will change the current character into space
  
• The spawning position of the boss of level 4 has been shifted
• The teleporting intervall of the boss of level 4 has been decreased
• A teleporting animation for the boss of level 4 has been added
• A bug that prevents enemies from spawning has been fixe
• A bug that prevents the calculator from turning off has been fixed
• A graphic glitch that shows up the sprite of the own ship at explodings has been fixed
• A graphic glitch that displays the boss of level 2 incorrectly has been fixed

I'm not sure why your code didn't work, but anyways, the enemies problem is gone. I also use Mirage on my calc (never going to change.)

Good to hear, thanks again!

And a poke about + / - for contrast changes.

Since Shade() -> {n} does not work - At which byte is the contrast stored?

But the pause glitch is still there. It appears that the game crashes right as it's about to display "[Del] Exit". You can see the white menu appearing, and right when it's about to display that, it crashes. I tried running it in all 3 shells on my calculator, and it crashed in all of them. But I really have no idea why it doesn't crash on the computer though. The only thing I can figure is that wabbitemu and the computer have slightly different interrupt timings or something like that.


Edit:
    It also crashes when you beat a level, the white scrolls to the top of the screen and when it gets there, crash.

Hm, quite weird. Does the TI crash before displaying [DEL] Exit? It could be caused by the Text routine.
Furthermore I tested out some combinations and I hadn't managed to crash my TI. Do you have any hooks installed besides MirageOS?

Since Shade() -> {n} does not work - At which byte is the contrast stored?

Contrast is stored at (contrast) which is $8447. It depends how axe handle's it, but you will probably have to add 18h to that to make it right for displaying. And don't forget to restore it when you're done

Yep, that's it. My zStart font hook is making it crash because it expects memory to be set up correctly. Technically this is crabcake's fault, but I'll fix zStart. If I see that something crabcake-like is going on, I'll just have it abort.

Yes, I probably should. Theoretically, crabcakes should disable hooks when it starts and reenable them when it quits, so that stuff like this doesn't happen.


Also, Aichi, you might want add a limit to the speed at which you can get collision damage. The problem is that if you accidentally ram a wall or a boss, you instantly die. This is especially true if the level 4 boss teleports inside of you
