Does it really work for the TI-83+ BE? I used MirageOS and when I tried to play the game (excuse me), all I got was a black screen (see screenshot below). I thought it was my calculator's fault but I tested it on Wabbitemu and it was the same result. I can still kind of make out the box as you can see in the screenshot but obviously I can't see where I'm going.

Found something very interesting! ;D

Well, after beating each level in The Impossible Game, I was thinking of adding a little challenge to it. Well, the only two things that I could think of were a minimum jumps and a maximum jumps run. It's actually really cool to find out how little/many jumps you can get in some places. Anyways, I found this bug, which I call a 'power jump'. Basically, if you jump right before you touch the block, you will do a larger jump while still only pressing the jump button once! This made for a real challenge for doing a minimum jump challenge, and I have still yet to beat the level using these power jumps for the minimum. Here's a screenshot of it in action.

P.S. Hey thepenguin77, would it be possible to add a max/min jumps to the stats? That would be awesome. ;)

Lol, oops. I forgot that 83+ BE's don't have extra ram pages. I could possibly make a temporary appVar to hold the screen data, I only need 2,500 bytes.

@Magic Banana
I was thinking of adding in min/max jumps, that's pretty easy to do. The super jump is present in the ipod version as well, so I didn't feel bad about leaving it in. Here is why it happens:

When you make contact with a block, the game figures out how far overlapping you are with it. If you are in the top three pixels, which is normal for small drops, it just says you're on top and makes you jump. The super jump happens when you jump so close to the block that you brush the corner, make a frame where you are within three, and then jump off the top. If you to tap 2nd instead of holding it, you actually jump to the level of the block and stop. (I just did it.)

The way this happens actually causes a problem then because even though it looks like one jump, you are still jumping twice according to code. Which means that it doesn't count towards making your jump count smaller. I think I do the minimum jumps every time, so I'm not sure adding the stat would make much of a difference.


Since we're talking about how the game works, it should also be noted that blocks can't kill you if you are travelling faster than 3 pixels per frame. Although I'm not sure if this can be exploited.

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.

Oh, that's too bad about that counting as two jumps. It always seemed to do it when I would just tap it. It would still be pretty cool to have it count jumps though, to add a little more replay value to it.

Well, if it doesn't count as 1 jump, would it be possible for it to make it only count as one when you did it or would that just be too much of a hassle?

That's interesting, although I don't think there is a way to change speed at all, so I guess I have to jump over them like everyone else.

Lol nice Magic Banana.

@ThePenguin77 As for extra RAM pages, I assume you only use the one that is present on all 15 MHz calcs, right? Remember newer 84+ calcs only got one extra RAM page.

IIRC, he only uses one of them, since he himself has one of the newer calcs ;D

Except for S.A.D. Lite ;)

Okay, enough advertising.  It's so awesom that the program got featured!  Pat yourself on the back!

At this rate you'll beat me quite fast in amount of featured programs :P (I got 7, if I include the 6 on my previous ticalc profile that got deleted)
