Programming Ideas

If a CGOL game is open-source, then maybe its routines xould be re-used. But it depends how portable it is, I guess.

How about PC games ported to calculator.
Crysis 3 on TI-84 in 3D.

* p4nix runs

Can it run Crysis?

? The Calculator epidemic.

nope

3D engines on calcs are pretty slow (like max 2 FPS forr crappiest graphics)

Raycasting is fine, though. Which reminds me, I wonder if HP PpL wod be fast ebough for raycasting and mode-7?

That's not entirely true...
There are some Axioms that allow some pretty good 3d graphics and a decent framerate (10+ fps)

YEah I agree that 3D can run at very decent speed (or great speed with lower quality) if done right. I still want to see a 3D game for calcs that uses glib.

actions. At first I was scared because I misread Mario as Man so I thought they took down the official No Man's Sky game lol.

Nobody would care if they did

The company is being sued for false advertising right now btw, hope something comes from it >_>

@TheMachine02 I was referring to entire games (with surroundings) and of cause on 83+/84+ family xD I'm well aware it's a huge difference on color calcs (played nDoom myself for a while) ^^

u/TheMachine02 October 18, 2016, 02:03:23 PM

Yeah, b&w z80 are quite underpowered when 3D comes

Hopefully ez80 and nspire ARM are much more efficient at those task.

* TheMachine02 returns programming his demo.

I regret to inform you that the nspire is no good for most stuff due to very slow screen access :/

u/p2 October 19, 2016, 10:35:09 AM

great...

at least I got a nice trackpad :3
that is buggy.... and not used in most games... and totally not handy anyways...

Offering you 2x TI Voyage in exchange for 1 *good* color calc...

Yeah they pulled the game off Steam or something IIRC. Ironically, though, EB Games and other stores still sell it at full price in some locations.

Yeah I heard it's particularly bad, to the point where certain type of games (the ones that are not CPU-intensive, but requires refreshing the entire screen at a very fast frame rate) would run faster on the CE. The CE virtually has no screen issues like that, which is why it's so fast compared to the CSE.

By the way it's Voyage 200, not TI Voyage.

That said, I saw people call it Voyager or TI-Voyager

I have a idea for a game all i know so far is this. This is how I work

2D top down game where the main levels are just black floors in black rooms

In it you pick up:
bits of yellow and green string
wooden ducks
orange panels
and red balls (2 at once only)

you all wait

*EDIT*
it is 1 hour and 10 minutes later and i have the full game design and spec ahahahahaha
it's a quick one
