Jumpman Resurrected

So... What ever happened to Jumpman for TI calcs?

Good question. 3 years ago, my hard drive crashed and the data was not recoverable. I had made a recent backup of all my TI projects on a USB thumb drive. Good idea right? Yes... but not if you lose that backup. I frantically searched for it a number of times over several years without success. Very depressing to think you've lost everything.

Well... a few weeks ago that USB stick turned up; and I have resurrected this project.

Here are some new screenshots of levels I have completed recently

Hot Foot

Dragon Slayer

Grand Puzzle II

Gun FIghter

Now You See It

I have 8 levels remaining to complete. Jumpman should be complete within 1 month.

Wow I'm glad you found your backup!! Also it looks really nice!

Is it for the 84+ or for a different family?

Woah dude, glad to see you turn up again! Those levels look really cool and above all really fun, so I'm looking forward to a release

Thanks p2 for your kind comments. Jumpman is for the TI-89. It is coded in C using GCC4TI.

I'm so glad to see this resurrected and that it was not completely lost. Nice work on this Ranman

I really love the idea of the last level, even tho it looks pretty tricky xD
you don't maybe plan on making a clone for the CE or 84+ once you're done wit hthis...?

Thanks everybody.

Here's a level called Ladder Challenge:

You have to move with the ladder a little bit or you will slowly slide up or down depending on the direction of the ladder.

xD it looks incredible hard to get off the ladder at the right moment xD
You should mke it possible to Jump off (actual jumping, not just falling) ^^

looks great

Thanks p2. The screenshot doesn't show everything. It's hard to get a small screenshot with all movements. You can jump on and off the ladder at will... You can even walk on to and off of the ladder from a girder.. You can also climb up and down while on the ladder.

That looks very good. Do the moving platforms there work yet? I heard they can be hard to get to work in games. Glad to see most levels finished

Thanks DJ. All of the moving platforms work... and yes... they were difficult to implement and to get working properly.
