Post on ticalc.org

I just noticed that some guy put up a DDR recreation (i believe his call sign is Xero Xcape), and in his game discription, you could TOTALLY tell that he was bashing Kevin for using asm libraries in his basic game, saying that it isnt really basic. Well, contrary to popular belief, an ASM library is still within the paramiters to defining a BASIC game. If it was an asm prog just for that ONE AND SINGLE GAME,and no other game ever could use it, then no, it would be a hybrid. But listen closly: this xlib is a library that furthurs the capibilities of a calc. Think of it as a patch, that you can turn off and on when ever you want. You can think of the normal things you use every day as a libray that is built into the calc, like 'if-then', cos, sin, ln, e, and everything else, really. They are essentionally 'librarys' that cant be tamperd with. So anyone who thinks of Kevin as a devil for this 'abomination', think otherwise. This is pure basic.

My response

Heya! wazzap? you wanna know something, I am a VERY good friend with Kevin, hell he even thinks FFR is sweet, he's even making an XXR<->FFR song converter! as for bashing, nope. PURE BASIC (as agreed by a whole lotta people on #tcpa) is using no ASM libs and only what the calc provides, even tho Kevin's uses xLIB is isn't PURE... but it is thousands of times better than mine, I couldn't even compare really... but as I said, we chat, and are on some of the best terms with each other (if it wasn't for my scedule I'd still be staff at Omnimaga) so think hard and long about what you said... I only bash those that bash BASIC... and I belive if anyone here could do what Kevin does with BASIC they should be given godlike status...

lol, I agree that ppl should stop bashing other for using ASM libs in BASIC programs or not programmign ASM but I read through your readme and I didnt saw any bashing at all

actually you wanted to mention the features of your game over XXR thats all.

I dont think the game would have been accepted if there was bashing in it anyway (stuff like "Forget about XXR, it sucks, FFR owns because its pure BASIC and wont use any crappy ASM libs")

Congrats, I don't recall any other calc release getting publicity on non-calc sites (besides Wolfenstein and Doom for the 83's)

Congrats again Kevin...

From Ticalc: "Ranked as 1 on our top downloads list for the past seven days with 2556 downloads."

Wow... 2556 downloads in one week! O_O

yeah i saw this now, I think DDR is more popular than RPGs, last year Zelda Dark Link Quest was #3 with 2100+ downloads, below VTI and Mario

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #54 on:** October 23, 2005, 01:37:00 pm »

wow O_O

I dont recall any of my previous games do that before, even Zelda, I never though a DDR game would get so much attention *cries*

Spellshaper · « **Reply #55 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:21:00 am »

just crazy... *congrats*

lol, But you deserve it...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #57 on:** November 04, 2005, 08:51:00 am »

Well I am planning to make XXR 1.5, but right now it is on hold due to lack of motivation and I am trying to decide about some stuff right now, that will probably be posted on Omnimaga front page soon. I know there are ppl who are respecting me here but I might have to do something ppl dont want me to do in a few days. It will depend how things will go. Anyway, you'll see on Omnimaga or TI-news soon

ur games inspire us all, so as long as ur programming, then we'll all hang in there programming to!

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #59 on:** November 18, 2005, 07:45:00 am »

since ticalc.org doesnt update their archives often and UTI file upload wont allow me edit files (it gives me an error) here is the new version

http://omnimaga.unitedti.org/xxr.zip

Note that the game is not maintained any longer so if there is any other updates in the future that will be bugfixes only (if necessary)
