Ok i'm making an app that combines four incredible games, checkers, tictactoe, labyrinth, and sudoku. Here's what i have so far. Labyrinth is a game taken from ticalc.org archives, but all other games will be made by me. Below is the readme text and a brief screenshot. Whaddayya guys think?

MPack is a flash app for the TI-83+ series calc, composed of four different games: Tic-Tac-Toe, Sudoku, Labyrinth, and Checkers, each of which will keep you entertained for hours.

Menu Controls:
Arrows: Select
Enter/2nd: confirm
Clear: Go Back
Del: Teacher Key, exits app instantly, but for speed, does not archive appvar containing the saved data.

Special thanks to Badja, who wrote labyrinth.

EDIT: And yes, i do realize the striking similarity this has to PuzzPack

ooh nice, it reminds me voidpack, glad you're coding again some games! How much progress do u have done on your own games so far?

I have the human vs. human portion of TicTacToe done, and i'm currently working on checkers. I haven't decided yet whether or not to have AI on that too. My guess is i will.

i see

I can't wait to see it released! I hope you can manage to get Badja permission to use their game in your package though because they haven't been around for 6 years and their site shutted down when calc.org server crashed a year later.

If they say in the readme anyone can use it with giving credits it's good though

Maybe you could remake the maze game

as far as tic tac toe, why not just use a look up table and have the computer's skill determine how often it makes random moves, logical moves (block the win, go for wins, etc) and how often it does a "perfectly logical move" that can garuntee either a win or draw

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #5 on:** September 14, 2007, 12:17:00 am »

i would have a 4v4 tic tac toe mode too, altough you shouldn't go bigger because the bigger the table, the larger the chances you get a draw

i think its smaller the table, the bigger the chance for a draw because its easier to play technically on a smaller board.

i saw a game at someplace, maxcoderz i think, where it was tictac toe but you could only have 3 letters of your type on the board at the same time. this way it was always cycling and never ended, i wrote the game in basic if you want to see it, but i wont be back till sunday/monday with my calc

how about 3D tictactoe? i find those kinds or variations to be quite amusing when played w/ friends ^^

oh lol that would be fun

I appreciate the suggestions guys, but keep in mind I only get 16k for everything. I'm almost at 8k now and i haven't even written the AI for TicTacToe, or Sudoku, the most complex of the games.

Now a 3D falldown is not too hard, yet very fun

Jon · « **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2007, 03:19:00 pm »

Pardon the double post. Okay here's checkers. it has the ability to make kings and jump. However it doesn't yet have double jumps

i'll have to add that in later. It even saves and lets you come back to exactly where you left off.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #12 on:** September 14, 2007, 04:04:00 pm »

wow look nice so far, keep it up! And you didnt double posted because kalan got to post 3 mins before your last post

Jon · « **Reply #13 on:** September 14, 2007, 04:23:00 pm »

Lol i got halfway through the message, then realized i needed to film a screenshot

now that'd be pretty sick. i just wish the arrow keys were more connected so you could easily transition between arrow buttons.

screenie looks pretty good too
