Oh yeah that. How would it work, though? Would it let you make animated screenshots or something too?

I don't think brandonW has finished periph8x though. I am currently trying to figure out how to send key presses in C++.

For screen shots, everything would be exactly as it is now except once you get wabbitemu running, you put your keyboard away, plug in your calculator, and use it as your new keyboard for wabbitemu.

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.

I would like to use that. It would allow me to experiment anything without risking my real calculator and with a real calculator keyboard.

It's currently in the making. Since I recently figured out usb pretty well. I think you will just connect the calc to the computer via usb and run my C++ program.

Don't expect to hear from me for about two weeks as I am going skiing in Oregon. Don't worry I didn't die.

Wow I am not used to hearing about skiing during Summer. I guess it doesn't help that in Quebec, mountains are not high enough to allow skiiing so late (by mid April, sometimes it's no longer possible). I hope you have fun and that you return afterward

Everyone, I urge you to try this game!  It is quickly blossoming into one of my favorite calc games ever.  Once you get used to the controls you will not regret putting this on your calc! :D

ThePenguin: Ah, okay, that's why you're not on.  Have fun! ;D

Indeed. I recommend playing it on calc, it's even better, due to the controls. Real shame that ticalc.org did not feature this yet. (time to start our own POTY award on Omnimaga?)

You made front page on ticalc! (it was about time, I was starting getting worried ticalc rose the bar ridiculously high or something and that it took stuff like GBC emulators to get featured anymore x.x)

It deserves a feature!

So I was just sitting here and I was like, even though I check ticalc.org and hour ago, it wouldn't hurt to check again. And I was very surprised to see my name as the first words on the page.

I also find it quite funny that bubble breaker made it because I actually just made that because my friend said "You won't make Bubble Breaker."


As far as skiing in the summer, Mt. Hood has snow all the way to September.

Hey welcome back! I hope you had fun there. And yeah I was surprised really at the Summer skiing. I think it's really because over here, the highest mountain (if we can call it a mountain) is like 2500 or 2600 feet high, so from late April to Mid November, it's nearly impossible to have snow. In fact, even in November and late April, they use snow cannons to get some artificially.

And yeah congrats for the features. I personally felt Bubble Breaker deserved one, too, because it looked fun to play and nice, plus I couldn't find any other good clone of it on ticalc.org.

Thanks.

I am also starting a new game which shouldn't take much longer than a few days. Right before I left, I played the impossible game on xbox. It is basically the exact type of game that I get ridiculously good at and I was so mad that I wouldn't be home to work on it. I finally beat it in oregon on an ipad after three hours at home plus three there, so it is quite a hard game.

I think it will still be good without the music. It will also be my first official game to run on 83+'s. No screenshot yet as most of the code resides within a fastcopy, and I started it like 3 hours ago.

Here is a youtube video of it. The only problem that I am currently having is that coding is much more boring than ski racing. So there is a lot of random walking off and drinks of water, but I will persist.
