TI-Tank
« on: February 22, 2012, 08:18:15 am »
Hello,
I know some people are having trouble using the link port in Axe, so I decided to post a 2-player game I made with a friend a few month ago.

Basically, each player has one tank and the goal is to shoot the enemy's tank. Each tank has 3 lives and can shoot up to 6 bullets at a time.
There are 8 directions available, and the enemy's tank is represented with a hole inside it.

Commands :
[Arrows] Change direction (Right - Counter-clockwise / Left - Clockwise)
[2nd] Go forward
[Alpha] Go Back
[Suppr/Del] Shoot
[Annul/Clear] Quit Game

To install you will need the main program TITANK, and the 5 appvars TIMAPx which contain the maps of the game.
To launch the game, connect two calculators with a link cable, and execute on both calculators Asm(prgmTITANK). Both calculators must have the appvars, which must be in Flash Memory.

Have fun !

Anyone know to make multi-calc screenies? I know Kerm's made some with his gCn demos and whatnot.

Tested it between two 83+s and it's ultra unusable slow.... it takes about half a minute to syncronize or doesn't finish it, playing does not work at all.  :(
I don't know if it is the connection between the calcs, but for me it doesn't work.
I'll try it again tomorrow with my classmates' calcs.

I think that the game is stable only for specific calculators.
It works perfectly with all the calculators of my classmates (exclusively TI-83+ fr). So maybe you should try with different calculators until it works.
Sorry about my mistakes, I'm French.

Sounds great. I will probably give it a try later if I have some time. :)

However I would suggest a game title change from "TITank" to either "TI-Tank" or "TI Tank", because some english-speaking people might think the game contains adult content. O.O

Sorry, I'm French so I didn't notice the hidden sense of the title of the subject...

I tried it today with different calculators, now the synchronization and map choice works perfectly, but no matter what keys you press on either calc, nothing happens.  >:( Only the Clear button works.

Perhaps your link cable isn't good ? If someone got the game working, could you please tell which calculators you had ?

I linked my TI84 Plus and a TI84 Plus SE together and it works perfectly. The synchronization was almost instantaneous and the game played just fine. It was quite enjoyable.  :D

If I could figure out how to take multiple calc screenshots, I'd post them... But great job on the game!

Don't worry, I just thought some other people might get ideas ;D
