Hallo,
Just an idea, may never come to fruition, and I technically haven't even started it yet, but I may make a Geometry Wars clone with Axe.

That version's by The Penguin 77 and in pure Asm (and 84 only).  However, if Sir could do this in Axe I think it would be awesome as well. :D

that sounds interesting and difficult, SIr. Might be difficult to get good speed with more than a few enemies. though.

Hmm, if it is already done, then the project is already abandoned.  Sorry guys.

Yea, He just submitted to the archive days ago. What an odd coincidence.

It would indeed be nice to see a 83+ version of this, though (altough I definitively think the current one should get featured)

Sorry to hear that this is getting canceled (unless a 83+ version gets started) :( (Even though it wasn't technically official yet :P)

Aw, that's sad. :(
At least we already have an awesome version of it. ;D

Sorry for the instant kill of project. An axe version though. That would take some serious optimization.

The only way I see an 83+ version is if there were fewer enemies and a lower frame rate. I'm trying to optimize the bullet/enemy hit detection which gets run 1,800 times per frame in heavy traffic and I've only managed to pull out ~70 t-states, which is 1,800*70/15,000,000 = .0084 seconds per frame. That's about 8% faster overall, but not the 200%-300% needed to put it over to 83+.

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Aw... too bad... :(
Yeah, increasing the speed by that much will be very difficult, if it's even possible at all. Poor TI-83+... (non-SE)
