Pyoro
« on: January 21, 2010, 11:18:22 pm »
Just registered here!  I though I'd like to share this game for those that haven't seen it.  Its my first attempt at grayscale (I'm using my own engine) and music.  Its definitely my biggest project to date.

Pyoro



Anyway, I've finally finished a beta version of the next and final release, which I think is an order of magnitude better than the first.  So I'm looking for a few people who would be willing to help me beta test this awesome new version!  You'll get to play it before anyone else!  All you have to do is play the game a bunch then report bugs to me and answer some questions.  The main problem is that I need to find a good balance between easiness and being too frustrating.  Let me know if you're interested.  The reason this is kinda secretive is that there are unlockable features and surprises I don't want to ruin before the actual release.

I've already made a lot of improvements, but let me know what you think would make it better.  Thanks!

I played this game when it first came out and I actually love it! I still play it from time to time.
The only real problem I encountered was that sometimes it would flash (like refreshing the screen) (FYI: I own TI84+SE w/o extra ram) and I would get lose... and looking at the screenshot, did you change the score system? I thought 10:50:100:500 was too big score growth. Your 50:100 seems to be more reasonable. And I am willing to be the beta tester ^^

Edit: BTW, welcome to Omnimaga!!!!

on the side note, I liked Puyo Puyo too!

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Yeah, the score system was changed, you should definitely download 1.2 since I also fixed a lot of the bugs including the flashy screen one.

It should.  I did't use a single BCALL other than for file management and I'm not using interrupts.

I sent you guys emails, thanks!

Could I beta test?

I discovered Pyoro about a week ago and loved it.  It and Puyopuyo are two of my favorite calc games.  You've done a great job with them.

Welcome to Omnimaga! You're a great programmer.

I alerady got beta via messenger last nigth and played it, very nice :)

I don't know if it's WabbitEmu or the fact I used TI-84+SE ROM 2.41 but the first time I played the beta APP, I ran into a weird bug. The floor and char suddently started flashing after shooting like 3 things, then game ran like twice slower. I never got able to recreate the bug afterward, though. All I know is that when this happened I was spammin the 2nd key extremly fast

Ok, I think I have enough beta testers now.

Also, I made some changes to remove the use of ixh so I *think* it should work on NSpires now.  But I'm not sure what TI considers undocumented... is there a list of known instructions that don't work on the NSpire?

I like this game ^^
I made a review for it on Ticalc, but it might take another year or 2 before they read/parse/accept it

Or maybe 4.

Nah actually I think it takes one or two months. The problem is that there are not enough reviews being submitted and Chronomex/Duncan Smith only updates the list when there are like 5 new ones.

EDIT: on a side note my high score so far is 11000-ish but I did not play seriously, since I was chatting with Quigibo at the same time and didn't want to leave him without response for way too long :P (I was testing)
