So on this particularly quiet day (and to a lesser extent week), I was wondering what were your plans for 2015 when it comes to projects, life and other duties? I know that many people disappeared after holidays due to school or mostly became lurkers in the community, but maybe some have projects to showcase soon, plan to learn ASM, C, etc.
Here I go:
Calcs
-Super Walrii Land
-Possible small 84+ RPG
-(UPDATED Feb 13th) Mana Force Color Remake
-Resume work on Supersonic Ball Prime
Non-calcs
-Happy hardcorr music album
-If SMF 2.1 reaches RC state, work on SMF 2.1 theme for CW
-Revive ROL0 remake (RM2K3)
-Get new Codewalrus staff and elite coders
Life
-I'll be busy this weekend as my landlord is gonna do renovations at my home, meaning lots of stuff to move around then cleanup afterward.
What about you? (Hoping nobody is done with CodeWalrus *.*)
Life: wanna learn to play guitar.
Calc
-Super Hexagon Casio
-HBE
-FiXOS
Non-Calc
- Found a way to live away close to next year school.
- Get healthier.
Calc:
- better grapher
- Pc Control (with cmd)
- had some ideas for my sadows axiom
Non-Calc:
- I'll have to learn proper c/c++ at some point
- WalriiConnect: better ti-84+ linking since both ti-connect and tilp fail
- probably some more i can't remember
- spending lots of time on CW
- Getting an ARA
Life:
- What's a life?
Welp, seems I already have a few projects for 2015.
Calcs
- Do something with them?
Non-calc
- Maintain CodeWalrus like a boss
- WalrusIRC (an alternate OmnomIRC client! Coming soon on CodeWalrus and GitHub!)
- Ask Yuki the Snow Pony: The Visual Novel
- Pick up a few projects I abandoned in 2014 or earlier but I'll go with those ones first, then I'll see
Life
- Try to have one
- Watch more anime
- Do my homework?
- Pick up piano and guitar again
That's pretty much it.
Calcs:
- Waste everyone's time in class with base-converters on my TI84+ CSE
Non-Calc:
- Write a graphics demo for an old computer or the visicom.
- Write more flow-diagrams before coding. (saves so much time debugging)
Life:
- Play more keyboard. Maybe get a proper keyboard.
- Play more video games.

I know that webcams and mics won't give good sound, but Streetwalrus just got a guitar now. If he manages to learn before you, maybe he could practice with you on Hangouts? And eventually you could maybe record song tracks separately to create music collabs. :)

Just because those two softwares fail for you doesn't mean they are inferior. I think that Lionel Debroux would rather see you submit a bug report describing your issue to the official TiLP Github repo so he can maybe help you or fix the issue that could be causing it if it's not on your end.
Also what's an ARA?

It's a modular smartphone coming out in a few months and it is amazing *.*
Ah, I have a smartphone already (Nexus 5) so since I don't need another one (and can't afford one anyway) I don't really pay attention to what other smartphones are being announced.
I would like to do something in C for the Prizm sometime, which requires me to know the language... and luckily, I got started with C++ in 2014 by doing some development on Dolphin, so C shouldn't be too far off! I'm not sure if I will be able to be focused enough to actually start and finish a project, and what I'm thinking of might be a bit too ambitious, but I'd like to at least program something. My Prizm has mostly been sitting doing nothing since 2011 :P
I thought you did learn it in 2011 ? O.O anyway glad you're still into calcs :)
What type of program would you like to write?

Nah, I don't think I learned any languages at all around that time.

Hmm... I have one or two ideas, but I'd like to keep them a secret for now! I want to start programming a bit before I announce anything so I know that it isn't infeasible. Deciding to program something but then never really accomplishing anything hasn't been an uncommon thing for me, but I seem to have gotten better with it the last few years.
Aah ok, good luck then :)

You can do C++ on Prizm. With Prizm SDK g++ is already compiled so you can program with delicious objects! ^^
Also, if you happen to know Lua, you can use LuaZM as well, but IIRC it's incomplete. If you know C or C++ then those languages are definitively more ideal. You can always ask Eiyeron for help or Kerm on Cemetech and they'll be happy to help. :)
Calc:
*make a new gLib update
*make a 3D game with this update :p
Non-Calc:
*pretty much pass my exams, and my second exams.

That sounds eerily familiar to me <_< :P Good to see more and more people joining :D

Skyrim4calc? *.*
I'm thinking more that it would be more suitable for a 3D clone of an early Illusiat game :P (Maybe Illusiat 3, since in 3D there's the digit 3? :P)
Ok so that wasn't on my todo list, but I finally got around updating my ticalc.org files, which is why I wasn't around much today. I noticed that some readmes still even had Epic Programming Studios URL, although most were up to date. Since I moved to CW I thought it would make sense to update my contact info, though, so I did. Now they are all pending on ticalc.org. I didn't update my contact info in-game except with the 84+C Tunnel, though. I might do it with the HP Prime stuff.
What's next to do about that:
-Upload/update some on Cemetech (mostly color stuff)
-Update my TI-Planet archives
-Put some files in CW downloads section (most likely Ticalc redirects)
-Put HP stuff on HP Museum
-Fix the HP file readmes because I didn't update them yet
Because of a particularly bad winter, I am often exhausted when I come back from work (I often work outside or do some indoor cleanup, and winter makes that worse) so I didn't feel like coding/working on the site as much.
- Listen to lots of music and do some reviews
- Continue learning guitar
- Continue learning lojban
- Attend DConf 2015 & possibly PAX
- Work
- Exercise during the summer
- Piworld!
- Pokemon TCG irc bot (I started this and got a lot done on it but it needs a rewrite and to be finished)
- Ludum Dare!
- Misc. System management
- Handmade Hero & Studying game dev relevent subjects
- Read lots of books!
- Play vidya games
- Watch jojo and catch up on reading Kangoku Gakuen
- Clean out my room and remodel/interior decorate
- Possibly put thought into my wardrobe
By handmade hero, do you mean a figurine? I also hope you don't have to work 60 hours a week like some people, so that you can still have some free time >.<
handmadehero.org (http://handmadehero.org) <- I'm following along with it, it is what has inspired me to pick piworld back up!
Right now I am unemployed but will hopefully be working again soon, I'd be happy with 40-50 hour work week
Ooh OK it's a coding thing lol. I was way out of the track here it seems :P
I personally prefer not working more than 40 hours, at least not with current work conditions lol. When I work 6 days in a row I am usually so exhausted that I don't feel like doing anything for the next two days after.
There is 1 big thing for me in 2015 - I'm going to become a father! :).
So I kinda want to get some calc coding out of the way before that happens as my free time might be limited for a while :).
Projects and stuff include CSE BASIC/xLIBC RPG demo, maybe some tutorials and of course investigating the CE calcs. I also plan on properly porting my 3D engine across to colour calcs and making something with it too.
Also will enjoy watching sports and stuff, hopefully get to more pro games - I might even try to play football again (even though my fitness is < 0%).
Oh, congratulations! Hope you still hang around with your kid around ^_^
Also for 2015 I plan going to host panels at 2 conventions, like last year... Gonna be fun.
Congratulations tr1p1ea for the kid. Hopefully you still have some time to say hi on IRC afterward. Be sure to teach your kid how to not brick a TI-Nspire (impossible) when he becomes 13 years old. ;)
Good luck on the rest. I myself am not a big fan of doing sports (although back in the days I liked playing soccer with friends), but since I often do endurance work and walk a lot, I would say my fitness isn't that bad per geek standards. On the other hand, food and mental-wise, my health might be another story <_<
In 2015, I have many things to do :
On calc:
Finish this f***** serial port implementation on FiXos
Finish my RPG Arcuz
Try to run FiXos on a PG2 calc.
Finish Metro Siberia 3
Finish Cawena, a CAsio WEb NAvigator (to troll friend at school, and if I'm motivated to print basic webpages)
Non-calc:
Learn to use GNU/Linux a little bit deeper than I know
Do some tricks with Magica Voxel (
@Eiyeron ;) )
Found CreativeCalc association
Life:
Find bullcs to do at boarding school :p
Progress in English, particularly at oral ^^
Many things, but I know I couldn't do some of them...
Heya nice to see you again Dark Storm. :D
I hope FiXos manages to get finished one day. Also I am interested in your RPG. Is there a topic on Planète-Casio?
Oh yeah right, finish my own RPG idea too. :-°
...
/me got demoralized.
Will it use Hinawa Battle Engine? Also regarding RPGs, it looks like for the time being in 2015 my project will be Mana Force Color :P
Hum, no, I code myself the game engine, and draw most of sprites. ;)
You can see screenshots here : http://www.planet-casio.com/Fr/forums/topic13057-1-C-RPG-Arcuz.html
And there is information on the 5-6 first "Revue des Projets" ;)

Oh I meant Eiyeron's RPG. I was wondering if he would use his Hinawa engine for it. Anyway I saw your game screenshots and they look great :)
So yeah, since we got plenty of new users since February, I thought I would bump this thread, plus I would like to give some updates about my plans or status. Did anyone get new plans?
As for myself, I would like to start working on Final Fantasy II CSE at some point and at least one HP Prime game, other than the Walrii catching game idea I had for a while (see other thread). However, I've been a bit busy lately and more tired than usual, in addition to spending a bit less time online, so as a result, I have been often behind in reading forum posts or replying. I was supposed to take a hiatus during Spring somewhere but I finally ended up just visiting the site less often than in previous months, while still posting as often most days. That might explain why in the last few weeks I often went missing for most of the day. :P Normal activity will resume as soon as my vacations start at the end of the month.
So yeah, my plans go as follow now, programming-wise, at least for the rest of Spring and Summer:
-First Fantasy II (CSE)
-Either Supersonic Ball HP or Super Walrii Land (HP Prime)
-Walrii catching game (HP Prime)
-Buy a TI-83 Premium CE or TI-84 Plus CE
-Giving PICO-8 a try is a possibility.
My plans consist of, primarily:
Work on my tower defense game (I had this idea ages ago, did a little work on it, and then stopped)
Create something cool
Learn everything about Lua
I don't have much plans, obviously :P
Well, I'm going to try to stop giving little upgrades to Caterite and Cat Nipper. :P
I also want to finish MoneyWalrii with my NEW computer (YAY!) and at least get acceptable at xlibc. I also have this really cool RPG idea I have, but I think I will get some help from Wright over at Cemetech. (he wrote the swiping routine I want to use ;)) I also want to improve my website. (http://unicorncalcs.yolasite.com) I was told that the mobile version was not very good.
All by summer of course.
I want to make my 4x3 contest entry into beta before December (no sarcasm :P)
And to make Dodge more user friendly, get a decent grade in Spanish in school, and read more Tolkien books (rephrasing of "Finish reading Silmarillion ASAP"), study LOTR, the Hobbit and the Silmarillion.
Also to hit at least 1500 USCF ratings.
(Chess)

WOuld the RPG involve swiping the screen to attack enemies? That seems like it might be a bit complicated since it would most likely involve enemies that move around. Anyway good luck since just making and RPG in the first place is a massive undertaking.
Your idea is very interesting as you could track infos like how the user swipes, how fast and which direction/location to determine the damage done to the enemy.

No, you would have to swipe in certain combination to kill one enemy. For example, Left Right Diagonal to kill a goblin. Then, Left Right Diagonal Left Right to kill a Giant. There will be a background for enemy fights and such.
Thats why I am doing this in the summer!
Oh ok. That sounds pretty hard actually, not coding-wise but gameplay-wise. I tend to stay away from RPGs that requires the user to enter and time a combo 100% perfectly in order to deal damage because it's too frustrating to play. I prefer when we still at least do lower damage when not perfect.
Well, they won't really be a time aspect...
I think.
My goal: Finish all my big projects. I don't want to have 99999 projects and not finish any of them :)
Lol I agree. In my case, though, what happens is that I often plan projects and get most of the planning done, but then end up never doing anything else. I try to avoid having 4-5 projects, though, because after seeing calc84maniac on Omni not finish half of his projects, I am fairly sure I would do the same with half of my projects.
I hope you finish MinePrime too since it seems very promising. Even a demo where we can remove or place blocks of our choice would get people hooked.
Yes, finish MinePrime!
I plan to work on Nagoji, then MinePrime, and then JarvAxe 5.0. After I "finish" MinePrime my main project will become 3D MinePrime. But after I "finish" MinePrime 2D I plan to implement the changes to Minecraft that Mojang/Microsoft did in MinePrime 2D so it won't be laying there on the shelf so to speak.
Sounds good!

Aah that sounds good. I hope it's not too much of an undertaking, though, seeing how much work it was for Jens_K to develop Minecraft 2D for the Nspire. Good luck!
I made a post earlier if what i wanted to do, but i don't think i did any of them ;D
Anyway my current plans are to work on the Notifier (Which we named Walrifier btw) and maybe some more playing around with pico-8.
And come up with a 4x3 idea <_<
Make a scrolling snake! ;)
Cumred you should keep us updated in your topic about the notifier. :) More pico-8 would be nice too, as well as a contest entry :P
Yeah, i've just started working on it actually. I'll do a bit more work and then i'll post some update noted :)
Also pico-8 4x3 might be a cool idea :D

I should add a goal to start coding again.
But no motivation (yet)

Same here. School ends in about 2 weeks, then I should probably start animating animations. And making websites for clients. I have a lot of ideas...
I think school where I am ends in a month.

Do you also plan to do any game projects and stuff, such as improving Supersonic Ball PC? Also booze? :P
Vacations start next Sunday. I can't wait to become green again. (I might go back to full time staff group on Tuesday evening, though).
If things goes as planned I will probably go to two Memorial Cup games in the next week. Next week I'll judge contest entries (if any, lol). I hope after vacations to find some motivation to work on one project. :P
I think I'm gonna talk to Wright about partnership in my rpg, and see what happends from there, now that its summer. :D
Its such a weird feeling though, I feel like I'm forgetting something. :P
That could work. Just make sure that the RPG isn't too large at first and focus on the entire engine since you are new to making them. The battles seem to be the part where most people get stuck into.
Hahahaha, no. Street and I are stuck at figuring the whole thing and getting motivation.

Thanks for the tip, but first I'm gonna make MoneyWalrii, maybe starting tomorrow now that the contest is over. Then, to contact Wright and get the RPG planned out. :D
Oh also, one of my plans is to make a language. It doesn't have to be good but it would be so cool *.*
Actually, i already started :D
Cool what are some of the words?

Aah I was wondering what happened to MoneyWalrii myself. Glad it is still alive. As for the RPG do you plan to cross-post updates here too, even though Wright doesn't have a CW account? :)

it will look bit like Lua:

b = 4 * a
function test(a)
a = 2 * 3
return a
end
At the moment nothing runs yet, though :P
Also i don't have a name yet, so i'm open for suggestions :)

But yeah,I m gonna post updates here for sure! :)

It does look like Lua. What makes your language different?
Probably that it has a lot less features :P
Also i plan to do code flow blocks more like java or c:
if (8 == D)
end
The parser will first parse the (8 == D) part, and then the if statement. The vm will then just take the top value of the stack and jump accordingly.
Also it's a compiled language so there won't be any dostrings etc. And it's really loose since it a little bit hacky. For instance a ',' does almost nothing.
you could also call functions with:
function test(a, b)
return a + b
end
test(3 2)
though the comma in the function define is necessary

Looks like he didn't make it D:. Oh well, maybe next time, plus he can still sign up before next contest anyway I guess. It's up to him of course, though, but only CW has flying walruses. :P
Since Unicorn asked that the Summer discussion gets moved to safe-haven due to private info being shared there, I thought I would bump this thread for those who wants to discuss about their plans for the rest of the Summer even if they can't access the safe-haven section (we should try to keep all private/sensitive info in separate topics to prevent having to move good non-private discussions to private).
Anyway I am in vacation from work for the next two weeks, but my activity will probably remain similar to the last week or so since I am pretty tired and other things. Staff-related duties might be kept to a minimum because I don't feel like doing much of it right now. I also hope that weather over here stops being spring/fall-like (one city in the North had frost at night a week ago >.<) so I can go to the waterpark.
Cool! Money walrri is now on a semi hiatus until Nagoji is done, then I should be able to figure it out. I should really read up on all the list commands though for the sprite collision. O.O And I need to add ruby to the list of things to learn :P
I'm traveling and learning Tuba so no code for a while :-(
I need to restart coding, which I've told myself hundreds of times but never did
No calculator and computer while traveling, only tapatalk, so I'm trying to learn Quenya ( High-Elven) instead
Cool. Can't you take your calc with you though?
I forgot though :P
And when I get back school starts
Also i still want to make a language. I've come up with a name though: Hydrogen
It would be nice, but keep in mind it's hard for new languages to take off. NewProg, for example, had a lot of potential, but only one person made a program with it besides the author. Grammer isn't that popular either. It's also a lot of work, so only 4 out of about 30 new language projects managed to get finished (Axe, BBC Basic, Grammer and NewProg)
Yeah, but i mainly want to make it because i'm interested in creating a language :3
I'd program for o it I can!
I should try NewProg
I still want to finish a large project but that looks like it is in the dust since I leave for camp tomorrow <_<
Oh cool. I hope you have a nice time on your camp :3. What kind of camp is it?
Bump:
So has anyone's plans changed since you last posted in this thread or if you didn't yet? In my case, my plans might have changed a bit in the short terms, project-wise. I got two RPG ideas, one of which is simply to port First Fantasy: Mana Force to the HP Prime. No immediate music plan, though.
Hmm.... I gues MW changed to a kind of quest rpg, and NAGOJI, is just kind of there with not much progress.
Well non-calc plan have changed since I passed my exams, but globally, calc plan didn't really change.
The gLib update is coming :P
Aah cool. I hope next school year isn't too hectic for you :)
Absolutely not. I will have quite some of free time :P
Ah ok, because the last three years or so seemed particularly busy for you and in France some people like matref and hayleia had so much school work to do that they usually had to postpone every project for the entire school year. >.<
This year was indeed particulary busy, and two years before was still quite time consuming (mainly due to extra project, like drawing/theatre). But yeah, I enter two years wich will be a looooot more peacefull.
Good to hear. :) Are you doing computer science at school?
Also age can be a factor too. If you are 18, you can have to find an appartment and a job to pay the bills and the extra chores can reduce free time a lot.
Nope, I am more in biological science ;)
And yeah, since I am still under 18 it is fine :P Plus I will pretty much stay at my parent's home for a while,cause appartement are way too much costly around here ;D
Aah OK. I often assume that hardcore calculator coders go into programming :P And I see. I guess it depends. Some parents kick their kids out the very day they become 18.
As it seems to be the current topic, I'll just write about me a bit.
Tomorrow starts my apprenticeship ("Ausbildung" in German. IDK whether that's the right translation) 210km from home and I just moved in here.
Sadly not with multiple people, so I'm currently alone here (I hope I get rid of feeling lonely...). I guess 17 is kinda young for todays standards, but I guess I have to manage it.
The apartment doesn't cost much at all (275€ for everything), but it's not directly in Nuremberg, it's in a more rural area, but with a good connection by bus.
Since that word contains "apprentice" in it, is it like an internship from USA and Canada, where once you finish higher school studies you work for a company for free or paid like any other normal job, but only for a few weeks and it counts towards your school grades? I'm glad you could find a cheap appartment, though. Sometimes, being alone can be better if you can afford it, because moving to appartments close to schools and dorms often involves living with students you don't know and might not necessarily be trustworthy (for example, they might steal your food or DDoS your ISP or the school intranet). Even without students I heard many horror stories about people co-leasing an appartment with a "friend", often involving one of them stopping paying everything because he spends all his paychecks into drugs, alcohol or gambling. It's good that you got decent bus transit too, because I know that in some rural areas here there is literally no public transit except cabs, which are expensive. Even my city of 142,000 people still has some questionable public transit services at times.
What are you studying in particular, by the way? Also, do you still have future plans for calculator projects? :)
Hm, I didn't enable notifications for this topic...

It's for three years (or 2.5, if you're good). For most of the time you work normally, as a trainee, but for a few weeks you have to visit a special kind of school ("Berufsschule", "Work school") with classes focused on the subject. For me it's basically IT, networking and application development.
QuoteI'm glad you could find a cheap appartment, though.
It was a real PITA to find one. I couldn't find a good one in the city, so my current home is a bit outside.

I heard about such horror stories, although it's quite easy to move in such cases AFAIK. Living alone isn't that bad, I'm not at home most of the time anyway. Currently I'm having a lunch break at work, we're allowed to do whatever we want to in our breaks, except watch c (it's literally like that in the agreement).

517.498 here, so a different scale altogether... Normally there's a train, but the rails overheated (I don't know how that happens either) so there's a bus instead.
QuoteWhat are you studying in particular, by the way? Also, do you still have future plans for calculator projects? :)
Application development with focus on linux. I'm still working on calc stuff, but currently not on any major apps, just small things here and there. It's going to change, though, when I have some more free time, the first days at work and living on my own are pretty busy ;)
Interesting. And yeah appartments in the city are often too expensive, unless you live in the hood.

Heh, that's a funny contract lol.
The guys who lived with you at your school last Fall or so often DDoS'ed your school intranet, right? :P
Nah, one of my room mates once ddos'd our connection to piss of our other roommate because he was being a c. :P That said the latter changed places with another guy after a couple months who was the worst dude ever. He disgusted me of co-renting. Never did his chores, arrogant, aggressive and had no respect for anyone else than himself, not even his mom.

haha.. didnt expect you to use the word "hood" :D ... Although it might be a bit racist...
but anyways, i hope to finish my 2 current calc projects, and maybe start at least two more. (new shell and rpg maybe?) I also hope to make a pc game, although idk if i can muster the motivation to do so.
Oh, I meant hood in the way we use it in America. In North America, hood and ghetto slang words refers to neighborhoods that have an higher crime rate and full of gangs and sometimes abandoned buildings. Seedy neightborhoods have less crime and gangs but still their share of issues, such as poverty and homeless people.

Yea, thats exactly how I understood you. Most people dont care if you call a neighborhood a ghetto or hood, but some might take offense, although personally i have never seen anyone do.
Yeah it probably depends where they live. Also some people who love their neightborhood might not find it racist, but might dislike that people bash their neighboorhood.
On a side note, about my plans for the rest of the year, I had the idea of porting Hong Kong 97 to the HP Prime. Or I could make a game based on the New York, NY '17 joke AVGN made during that episode. :P
Well, I finished NAGOJI CSE, and now I'm working on battle for moneywalrus.
Cool to see MoneyWalrus revived. :)
Yeah, I'm currently trying to find time to set up the battling, I need to get a few sprites set up. Anyways, I'm hoping that NAGOJI will be accepted at ticalc.org and cemetech
It should be up soon I think, unless something is missing such as credits or some files, or if something isn't right, such as a screenshot being overly large.
Its actually a good thing, I just noticed that you couldn't jump or anything and still win.
Oh right, that's bad :P. Hopefully you can find out the issue, though. I'm still debating about making a TI-84+CE (textlib) version. I could probably make a pure-BASIC one too for the CE, but it would only use light gray and white as colors.
Besides that, I had an RPG idea involving maths, but it would definitively be simpler in gameplay than FF:MF, as in the fact it would probably only have like 2 attack moves.
Updated plans for 2015:
-Due to health issues resulting from stress that built up over the last month or so (mainly the recent drama and work), I pretty much had to scrap all my plans for the year 2015 (including the Summer 2015 CW newsletter) and I also had to step down from my current job, switching back to my old one. The problem is that I was exhausted from work, in addition to being stressed about my asperger syndrome (or at least what clearly looks like it) holding me back in the learning process. THe site war drama last week didn't help much either, stress-wise, so I do not have enough motivation nor energy to work on anything lately. It culminated to the point where last Thursday night, my body nearly reached something close to catatonic state for several hours, while I sat in front of the computer. So for the last month or so, most of my projects have been halted or might be halted. I am concentrating more on CW itself and hanging out for the time being.
-It is not guaranted that anything I worked on in the last few years will be finished. All will depend of motivation.
Cheers
@DJ Omnimaga, stay strong mate! I'm sure things will eventually take a turn for the better again for you. In any case don't put pressure on yourself regarding your projects, you've achieved a lot for the TI community already this year, I think, and you have all the reasons to be proud of that.
My own plans for the rest of the year:
- work on the PC-based savestate manager tool for HoustonTracker 2, and hopefully release the first beta in a few weeks' time
- release one major update to HT2, though perhaps that'll have to wait till January
- continue fiddeling with my TI-92+
Other than that, I'm very much looking forward to the yearly album recording session with my electro/trashpunk band in December.
Thanks. Sometimes I pretty much have to literally throw some of the sources of stress and pressure out of the window. I'm not officially quitting any project, though. After all, I finished Supersonic Ball in 2013 after 3 years of hiatus.
Also the PC-based savestate manager tool for HT2 will be nice. I wonder if savestates from a 83+ will work on older models like with Super Mario levels? Maybe HT2 for the 92+/v200?
@princetonlion.tibd would definitively be very happy :P
Also when your album gets ready be sure to let us know in the music showcase section of the forums. I personally like punk. :)
Don't have many goals this year:
1) Finish with a 3.9 or above GPA (lol like that's happening)
2) Finish KIMP (a knightos image editor im working on)
3) Finish a game I've been working on for a few years off and on in Unity, just need to figure out proper networking
Good luck with your grades Max >.<
Also regarding the Unity game, make sure to make a topic in the non-calc projects showcase when you have screen captures ready :)
Calc:
Learn TI BASIC
NonCalc:
Programming class on fourth term(more of an introductory class, hopefully take Computer Science later on)
Get a 3.9 GPA or higher-it's actually possible

I think volleyball practices are only once a week, unlike the everyday practices of high school volleyball <_<
Ah ok, that seems more manageable. Some people in the TI community in the past had to spend most nights playing soccer or football. That said, I would have liked to play football as kid even if I would probably have gotten slammed hard at first.
Bleh, been a while I did any sports... Walking is fun, though.
Otherwise, I should play more piano.
I need to ride my bike more. As for sports I am not interested personally, although if I had a group of friends that liked playing them every once in a while for fun then there are some sports I wouldn't mind playing I guess. And yeah I went back to my previous job so I'm gonna walk a lot again >.<
Also Juju we should do more stuff once the year is over. I don't right now because I had a lot of bad stuff going on plus stress, so I have been reducing my activities and hangouts to a minimum for the rest of fall (I might even disable my FB account for a few months, perhaps until holidays), but I'm still unsure yet. I will most likely go to at least 1 Remparts game before the end of the year, though.

What sports are popular in Canada?
Ice hockey, by far. But playing it is so expensive that no one can afford it so most kids play soccer instead. College football is quite popular as well.
Soccer and street hockey all the way :P
Also,I'm back to balancing out battles for WalrusAdventure! (AKA MoneyWalrii)
I'm a bit late
@Unicorn but have you finally gotten any luck on working on Walrus Adventures again?
No... I've been to distracted by gaming. I think I need to sit down and just get a ton of work done on that. Maybe this week.
Ah ok, I hope you stick around (while also not neglecting school/real life) and that MoneyWalrii will get finished. :)
Also fix your signature, because Removedfromgame is not ever coming back :P
Yeah, I was sad when RFG left <_< I liked my sig
How about this?
Anyways, I hope to get some work done this week.
Looks good still have to fix my sig <_<
I look forward to more game updates ;)

Same, my signature is haphazard. I'm thinking about putting the walrii I have made in my sig or something else. But then, I procrastinate, so it probably won't be made for awhile XD
So did the entire TI community userbase change their plans for 2015 to "quitting calcs?" All forums (even TI-Planet) have been rather quiet this weekend <_<. But again I noti lced there weren't many posts on my Twitter feed either. Is therr something this weekend or are people getting ready for thanksgiving?
Or were people scared of Nikky and Ephraim? :trollface:
For me, i have to hand in my assignment next week i have been working on for like 6 months. Though i'm well on my way :)
I hope you don't have to work on another one during holidays and next Summer vacations O.O
Luckily it's only once, unless you fail, then you have to do it again
Yup, behind everyone's back everyone decided to quit calcs. :trollface:
I just went on a one night staycation, and have more than enough homework this weekend.

lol, funny. Yeah, anyways, I think I'll get something done this week...
Do you mean calculator programs or school stuff? :P I was always curious by the way about your future calculator/computer plans. I knew you were working on Walrii Adventure, but I forgot if you had other projects.
Calculator projects, of course.
I don't havre any other project after Walrus, I think I'm gonna trying to make a program that doesn't use the command line to run using ruby. (Probably using the green_shoes ge.)
I never heard of green_shoes ge. but I am curious about what you will come up with. Some computer games would be cool. Maybe Nagoji PC? :P
Its a variety of the gui gem shoes.
Nagoji PC? Hmmm that could bd a possibility... Its fairly easy to create squares of colors. The great thing is that I got a rubymine student's licsense. No more notepad++ :)
I'll google gui gem shoes later. I don't even know what those are either XD

But I'm back :D
Welp, dev on AdventureWalrus has stopped. Dungeon Defenders 2 is a real time waster. <.<
Maybe I'll get something done this week. I just need to focus on one thing and not get overwhelmed by large ideas.
Also, maybe its time for a what you accomplished in 2015 thread? Almost 2016, amazing how fast the year went.

Is it an old school project or one that just recently started? Also what is it?
I am also interested in the balloon project
The balloon project is a Pi and a Balloon, which takes video. I'll try to get footage here.
It's a new school project, science fair project that flashes the screen and pings something. I'm not exactly done yet :P

WalrusAdventure is permanently stopped or what O.O
lol quotefail.
But its just on a Hiatus till I find onspiration to work on it again. Probably after or during I woork on my contest entry.
Well, my plans for 2015 are...
Crap it's 2016 now
(I know it isn't actually but for the sake of the joke I said it anyways)
My plans for 2016 are to release Sorcery of Uvutu. Whether or not it is released in a 100% complete finished state, I will try to work on a new project. The details are still coming together, but I plan to have a Fallout-type survival aspect. And no, I didn't take this from your RPG ideas, DJ; I also plan for it to not be an RPG at least.
Cool, will it be like the fallout
@kegwaan is making?

Just get Uvutu done before you start working on that...
Can't wait to play a final version of the game!
So, now that 2015 is almost finished, what have you completed this year?
/me runs
Errr... I completed allot on MinePrime and then I went inactive and forgot what anything did with MinePrime :P. I started and made good progress with SynText, will be finished after contest. And I am working on my contest entry Zampy's quest...
I really spent a whole year on that <_< O.O :P
Finished: Game of pig, Caterite attack Pi, Nagoji CSE, Wack-a-color, Metric system learning program (first gui program in ruby! :w00t: I should actually post it. )
In progress: WalTourney, WalrusAdventure
Pretty successful, I guess.
I plan on getting a new pc, be successful in the job I recently got, maybe take another shot at college...
maybe marry that gf of mine, if we have enough money .... .-.
I'll probably also move out to a house of my own. 2016 'sgonna be a hectic year >_>
Hmm, this looks a lot like boring real life. Maybe real life isn't that boring.
Well good luck!
and with your gf to
I have completed nothing :P
That seems like it for me :P I just was really busy with cross country and stuff xD
I'm just lazy :P
Yeah, same here
/me lays in bed all day watching youtube then realizes he has homework
I'm more or less the same, sadly
Yup, unless I am going to play airsoft! then I jump right outa bed :P
I wish I played airsoft :P
My friend has a Kar98k for that, and I wish I had one too :P
Airsoft is pretty fun and some starter stuff isn't that expensive.

I tried it too but i had to install VS and shaders are via blueprints :/. If i ever want to do something enginy again i'll probably go with unity since you can at least write HLSL shaders.
I'd rather have GLSL though >.<
Actually, you can use HLSL shaders in UE4. You can't write your own GLSL ones though, UE4 automatically converts HLSL ones for you.
I've tried a bit of Unity, but I find UEs blueprint system to be rather powerful for rapid prototyping. That, and I just like C++ :p
Oh i didn't know that, might take a look at it :P

Can you use 2D sprites in Unreal Engine? Because the contest would require you to use one of the :walrii: sprites (although you could also use Walrii sprite in the HUD, menu, title and use a 3D model of Walrii in the game if your entire game is 3D.
Also, would UE4 run on old computers? I have a graphics card from around 2011-2012 and my computer dates back in late 2009 (Intel Core i7 1st gen with 8 GB of RAM)

Yes and yes. UE4 has a 2D system called Paper2D, which I'll be using. I don't know enough about 3D to try it yet. :P UE4 also has scalable graphics modes for older model PC's.
That is cool. Can it do lower resolution games too, such as SNES style? Anyway let us know about progress
@Scipi :) (unlike your previous projects :P)
Also I should change the title of this topic to 2016. :P
I personally think it should be a new topic
Welp, my plans for 2016: Finish Walrus Adventure, port Caterite attack to CE, maybe port some other games as well, once xLIBC is done.
Hopefully by summer WalrusAdventure will be done.
Plans for 2016: Finish up KIMP, complete libc (i.e. bindings for every kernel call), and finish with a GPA 3.7 or higher
Learn how to code(TI BASIC or whatnot), finish the semester with all A's, and exercise a bit. I might also try out for track, but I don't know if I have the time for that. And beat Fire Emblem Awakening on Lunatic+.
2016 plans: same a 2015 finish a few projects xD
Plans:
- work some more for school
- participate in the CW contest
- get the Microcat project further
- finish TwoStep
and more
• Finish Fallout 84+ (I've barely even started)
• Finish learning Axe
• Learn z80 Asm
• Learn to play the accordion
Plan for 2016: Writing stories. I'm writing a script for a new story that should be used for a pony animation, and someone else (as in a 100k YT subs person) asked me to write something for him. Gonna be fun :P
Also, the usual programming random stuff while hoping to not fail at life, as usual.
So I notice that activity on forums is down from last year and some weeks most people are gone until late evening. I was wondering what you guys have been up to and wgat are your plans for 2016, with school, on CW, calc and non-calc programming and other activities?
Oh, well if I manage to finish my own site, then I won't be as hyperactive as I am now.
I will be in HS over the summer taking an early Earth Science, so I won't be online more than I am now.
However, I will be a freshman in HS after this summer, so I might have my own computer, which could make up for some things.
Plans for 2016:
- Code something new for calculators...maybe a platformer?
- Dance in front of more crowds
- Coordinate a dancing act with friends
- Get new dancing suits and outfits
- Get through high school
- Convert as many people as possible to tau-ism (http://tauday.com)
- Somehow gain more interesting interests
- Get a girlfriend
- Make it clear that if she's going to leave, she needs to do it now
- Get another girlfriend
- Please oh please can someone love me for who I am
- Never leave me, and love me unconditionally
- There are things I dream of doing for a partner
- And you're missing out if you refuse me
- Be depressed because I'm worthless
- Become better at singing
- Memorize more digits of irrational numbers to impress people
- Film and edit more stuff
- Get interested in different TV shows
- Force myself to listen to music I don't like in hopes I'll learn to tolerate it
- Make others happy
- Fail miserably
- Am I that bad of a person?
- There's no place in this world for a guy like me
- Get active more
- Play basketball again
- Learn some interesting magic tricks
- Discover a party trick I can whip out that makes me look cool
- Learn how to solve any high-order dodecahedron-shaped twisty puzzle (Megaminx, Petaminx, Yottaminx, etc.)
- Somehow find the energy to do it all :P
No I don't have any problems with me please shut up :-|

* Get better at Melee
* Eat
* Write lists

/me approves the first half :)
As for myself I don't plan in long terms, but I want to finish the CE projects I started, especially with CE Textlib.
Hmmm...
- Work on FloodIt
- Do something with C
- Get better self control ( I end up gaming or coding instead of HW. x.x )
- Fix my bootloader
- Mess around with my lattepanda when it arrives (google it)

Hmm...what about CE Basic? :P
Game with at least in playable state, regardless of which platform it might end up with.

You could maybe reduce the gaming more than the coding. That would already help, plus you might get more free time to code. :)

As long as you pay the rent and everything essential first before a new phone/trips then that's good. :P We need to do some stuff together this Summer, though, so don't go too far for too long. Good luck on the internship by the way. :)

Good luck! Nice to see you around again, by the way :)

You could do a vacation in Quebec :P. But of course that might be hard with a new job, since students usually don't get any work vacations.
Yeah, I used to be able to limit my gaming on weekdays and get a lot of coding and homework done, but now since my bootloader stopped working and I can only load windows without a usb, I just get distracted. I'm gonna try this week,see how things go ;) (mint only has calc stuff and comp stuff)

Well I'm not a student,.. but yeah it would be hard to get time off anywhere with a new job.
I started finishing my list! Got a job about a week ago that I'm excited to have, I've been unemployed so long~ and in a few weeks maybe I'll have a few dollars to spare (it'll be a while though, I owe $1100 for my car, $400 for car repair, and $200 in back auto insurance payments, to pay before I get anything).
I'm getting close to losing to notipa 5-10 so that's improving, was 0-10.
And our song "Break Out" is actually going somewhere, I'm learning some guitar and I think we might be able to complete it this time if we can find a bassist!
Oh I thought you still went to school and now did the study+working evening/weekend shifts thing. I'm glad you managed to get further in your goals list. As for money, yeah cars can be expensive, even when they're old cars you got for cheap, because of repairs and license plates. In Quebec, if you are under 24 years old and get your first ever car, and it happens to be a brand new one, then insurances costs $3000 a year. It gets cheaper as you get older (they don't trust young people because they make 25% of all accidents apparently) or if you get an older car, so it's usually recommended to start with an older car and deal with the recurrent repairs. Hopefully you'll be able to get more money of your own in the near future. Also I hope you get enough work hours, especially during Summer when the older employees go in vacation, but of course try to not burn yourself out (I know some places makes people work 60 hours a week instead of the regular 30-40). :)
Those are your car laws? I don't think there's anything like that in the U.S. O.O
But there is "living tax." :P
I think it's more the fact that everything that isn't related to school or health care is much more expensive in Canada than in USA. As for the high insurance costs for younger people, it's because companies don't trust teens and young adults. People between 16 and 24 years old were often considered the most dangerous on the road because they wanted the adrenaline rush from speeding as fast as they can or from breaking the rules while still staying alive, and drunk driving is more common among them. As a result, insurance companies jacked the prices up for those people, since they're more likely to be in an accident.
-Anyway, one of my personal goal to release a CE Textlib game using the tricks I learned has been completed, but I still want to release a tilemap-based one. Only time will tell, though. (normally I'm very busy in May too so I don't have much time to code)
Current future plans:
-Experiment with game ideas in Sprites v3.2 BASIC lib for the TI-84+CE
-More RPG gaming
-One or more new songs
-Stalking
@Juju I have 1 week of vacation starting tommorow so hopefully I can get started on some of this next week.
:walrii:
I'm very stalkable yes thanks
Anyway, plans for this summer:
- Stalk
@DJ Omnimaga during his vacations
- Get a job
- Start even more projects
I hope you get a job (hopefully full time but not over 40 hours). It would definitively help you to pay the rent and stuff in time >.<
Also I hope you finish some of the projects you started :P
Newish plans: Make more reaction games. I also want to finish/tune up my CSE games, but it's not looking like that will happen soon... Finish xlibc tutorials...
It's a shame that your CSE games won't be finished soon. Hopefully you reconsider in the future. Or maybe you could make some of them for the CE?
-Do more FreeCodeCamp (http://freecodecamp.com/)
-Swing by here more often
-Take Earth Science Regents over the summer
-Go hiking
-Buy a bike
-Try to find time to finish Mr. Bob's Bad Day (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/466/46666.html)
-Play more of LadyBug (https://kingpenguin.itch.io/ladybug)
-Try to figure out how to use Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu)
-Eat more chocolate
What is Earth Science Regents? Is that summer school or some special organization/activity? Also biking is fun, I should really ride mine more often. I know
@Streetwalrus likes to bike a lot (and lose the game everytime he does). :P
Also I thought that Mr Bob's Bad Day was dead since you no longer had a calculator? It would definitively nice to see it finished, but you would need not to get caught using a calculator emulator.
You could always port it to Scratch or do other more advanced scratch games(practice first with small stuff).
Also don't abuse chocolate too much. Too much sugar seems to lead to a sugar rush then you become irritated easily, especially if you have hypoglycemia. >.<
For me:
- Get in shape for cross country
- Work on MinePrime when I can
- Go to camp (and no I cannot post while I am there >.<)
- Take drivers training
- Play more airsoft
- Make a HUD to mount on my airsoft helmet (maybe)
- Break 20min in a 5k
- Program working vision for FRC
- Learn tons about OpenCV
- And that is about it
I hope that your parents won't take you to random places all Summer long like last year <_<. Kinda suck when you expect to have free time and make some plans, only to see your plans destroyed every 3 week >.<
Also what is a 5K? And do you plan to learn new programming languages during Summer?
I'm really hoping to release a calc game this year!
Do you think there will be an xLIB CE release this Summer
@tr1p1ea? :) I am definitively curious about how fast it will get with chained rectangle support and how fast Opossum Massage Simulator and HP Prime Tunnel will run. :) I also would like to port Desert Bus II to it (although the title screen might be a problem since xLIBCE lacks scaled sprites and scaled text support).
A calc game would be cool too, though. Maybe that small Zelda xLIBC demo could be developed into some RPG?
So I decided to look back through this thread and see which of my plans, project-wise, came to fruition and how many didn't. :P
Red stuff is stuff I never came close to do (it doesn't mean those ideas are dead, but some might be due to getting new ideas)
Black stuff is stuff that progressed but is nowhere complete or has turned into something else
Blue stuff is stuff that got accomplished
-Resume Super Walrii Land (never happened)
-Possible small 84+ RPG (never happened)
-Math-oriented RPG idea (never happened)
-Resume work on Supersonic Ball Prime (never happened)
-Happy hardcorr music album (only 2 more songs got done. I did a HT2 track, though)
-Revive ROL0 remake (never happened)
-First Fantasy II (only a walking engine done and has moved from CSE to CE Textlib to Sprites CE)
-Walrii catching game on HP Prime (never happened)
-Learning PICO-8 (never happened)
-Hong Kong 97 HP Prime port or NY 17 parody based on AVGN (finally made Opossum Massage Simulator CSE instead)
-Mana Force Color Remake (success!)
-Release a CE Textlib game that abuses the hell out of it (success! Although the game was remade with a different lib later)
-Experiment with Sprites 3.2 (success! Made 3 games so far)
It's possible that future releases are not on that list depending of what ideas I get. :P What surprises me is that I actually managed to complete at least one thing on those plan/projects list since 2015 O.O
