I am now working on a project called Twist. So far it is entirely basic, and i have everything running up to the main menu... and that's where I stopped.
I am in need of ideas for a game!!!
I can't think of anything... any help would be GREATLY appreciated, for if I finish this, it will be my first finished and released TI-84+ SE game (or any .8xp calculator)
If you do help, the ideas must fit the title, so don't have propose me making a paper football game named Twist, or a tetris game either (there's  too many tetris games anyways)
Until then, I will just be perfecting the beginning part.
Please, I am in desperate need of ideas!!! I guess this is the TI version of a writer's block...

Progress:
Intro: 100%
Main Menu: 99% (maybe need to change the options)
Load Screen: 99% (maybe need to add or remove some variables)
Game Engine: 80% (displays text numbers on the graph screen for gems, and checks for 4 in a line OR MORE. has gravity, to pull down gems after the ones below get removed. rotating, score bar, level up, and more gems when you level up some. no finding crossing lines yet. planning on implementing that when you get 4 in a row, you get 4 gems to your 'money', and later i will make that however many gems in a row you had)

TODO:
test for crossing lines
quicker display
more organized display? like a fall or rotate animation maybe?
better hud?
gems for money?

yeah i was thinking of a puzzle game anyways, to fit the name, but i still don't know WHAT type of puzzle game (eg. falling blocks (but different than the average tetris), a chuzzle kind of thing, a bejeweled, etc.)

maybe... but i think the name twist should mean it should be where the items split in half every time. jk, but that is a good idea for a game, like a bacteria or cell kinda game.

yeah sure... ... haha jk but i want to stay on topic because this would be my first ever released game

im gonna make it where you twista 2x2 square and use 2nd and alpha to tell which direction, and you have to get 4 touching to make them dissapear. (geez i have no idea how i am gonna do it, but im gonna!)

maybe, if i finish it in time [whisper] maybe you could help with some algorithms to help test if four are touching or not and whatnot [/whisper]

alright. well this died a while ago, but im definitely bringing it back to life.

in case you didnt know, im pretty much making a basic version of Bejeweled Twist.
the home page is here http://www.popcap.com/games/bejeweledtwist

basically, there is an 8x8 grid of gems, and you move around a 2x2 cursor, which rotates the gems in the cursor view, and you continue to do this until there are 4 or more gems in a row, which get removed and you get the score for it. new gems fall from the top and you continue until you score a certain amount of points. then you move on to the next level.

so far, i have gotten a main menu and a load screen, complete with list encryption, so you cant easily just change the values in the save lists to level up crazy fast. today i am going to start on the game engine, just using basic ascii sprites. eventually i plan on using text sprites like the ones used in donut quest (explained below) to make gems and what not
