I'd say switch to 4. I think the decrease in size and/or speed outweigh having the option to play with 6 people.

I have talked with a few people at school... they said they probably wouldn't play with more than 4 people. And I agree with trevmeister66, a decrease in size would outweigh playing with 6 people. So I am decreasing the player count to 4.

That's a good decision.

It makes the code smaller and faster. The only problem is you can no longer cater to a user-base that you probably don't have.

I don't think that many (if any) people would use 6 player. I like your decision.

I think once you release this, I'll be playing 4 player Monopoly in Math!

I recommend 4, because even at the real game it's not as common to play with more people. Now on a calculator, at my school like 2 ppl besides me cared about calcs

and that was a 1200 student school

That's how it was at my school too. When I can put in AI, then things might change...

The best thing that could have happened is if like most of us went at the same school. There could have been calc games competitions in a room during dinner time using TI view screen calcs and projectors, or even maybe emulators

It would be easier for people who prefer to work in team to work on team projects too.

I would recommend not having too many AI bots at once, though, else it might get really too slow. 4 players should probably be fine

jmaster797 · « **Reply #126 on:** March 09, 2010, 10:07:39 am »

That would've been awesome. A school for TI programmers... we would be motivating each other to work hard on some amazing games.

ztrumpet · « **Reply #127 on:** March 09, 2010, 10:24:03 am »

That would be pretty cool. Unfortunately I don't see that happening.

However, that's what Omnimaga is for!

lol, yeah. Though a whole school dedicated to calcs would be... difficult..., I _could_ see someone starting up a TIBasic class. At the alternative high school down the road, kids can set up their own classes and teach others about whatever topic they want; I'm sure almost any school could do the same.

Anyways, we have a few math teachers with programming backgrounds who encourage kids to give TIBasic a try, so (particularly among freshmen) there's some interest in calc programming. Though then again, by the end of the year, most people usually lose interest... they realize that they aren't skilled enough to produce games like Phoenix.

There are about 250 in my school total, and I'm like the only one who does the programming. There was one more, but he graduated last year, and he wasn't too into it either, usually doing simple things like breaking code games, etc. Other than that, they just ask me for the asm games, and I give them. And I seem to be the only one (beside one math teacher) who has the TI 89... There are few (like 3 people) who has the Nspire tho.

I think this is one example of how it can be easier to have friends on the internet than in real life. If your hobbies are pretty much centered on calc stuff and you live in an environment where everyone only cares about cars, hot chicks, bars, partys, beer and getting high, good luck getting friends

. Your only real option is online forums that are just dedicated about calc stuff

Radical Pi · « **Reply #131 on:** March 09, 2010, 04:46:36 pm »

DJ Omnimaga, that's exactly how I've felt for the last several years. I think I'm going to fit right in at this place

Anyways, this project sounds cool. I don't play Monopoly very often, but when I do it gets competitive and intense fast

I can't wait to see this when it's done!

Sad, but true.

I _would_ like to mention that though interest in calculators might be limited, interest in programming in general (particularly with webpage design, java, and python) might lead you to discover peers with similar interests; I sure have. Online forums are great, but I would hate to have to limit friendship to only calculator programmers, or even just programmers in general.

If anything, it's kinda nice to be the undisputed "best" at something at my school, haha.

yeah for other languages, it can be a bit easier IRL. It still depends where, though, because such people are usually introverted so they are much harder to discover. It also depends of where you live, still. For some reasons, people who only care about alchohol and drugs often gathers in the same areas and then if you go live in these areas because appartments are cheaper and it's closer to city headquarter, these people tries to impose their views on you, trying to conform you to their way of living, then you end up even more isolated

I could always start doing like them, but I just don,t care about beer and that stuff.

That said at school I still remember certain people wanting copies of Illusiat 11 and having an hard time defeating Vulcan Weapon in 4th chapter

. I usually gave them advice and it was fun. I warned them that it's nothing compared to the other optional boss in Chapter 5, though.

(see Youtube)

I myself have never had problems with friends, although that might be because i have several friends at school who share a high interest in games/programing for the calc (namely bwang

) so we can talk about that hobby together! I also have more than one hobby
