[TI-83+/84+] This is the Only Level

Played it for a bit and got stuck on the inverting gravity stage, because I got stuck on the ceiling above the pipe.
And in the alternate control scheme stage, you can still use the arrows.
But it's just as fun as the original! Do you know any ez80 or C so that you can port it to the CE?

Stuck? That has NEVER happened in my experience, are you sure you are unable to move left or right?

And there is no way for me to accurately port the stage "Alternate control scheme" because there is no mouse, but I made it so moving the arrows moves the elephant in that direction. You'll see that the elephant has no restriction moving upwards, for example. When you let go of the arrows, gravity affects the elephant again.

Thank you for the compliment! And no, I do not know z80 Asm, but I'm learning C++ for a class I'm taking. Perhaps I could try porting this sometime to the CE, but not now.

I got to the end, all the way to the exit pipe, but then I was on the ceiling above the exit pipe and could not go down.

u/JWinslow23 March 19, 2016, 11:41:47 PM

Oh, that kind of stuck. I got you. Try falling down on that spot right next to the pipe, then moving right. It works for me.

Thanks for your help!

u/JWinslow23 March 20, 2016, 03:25:29 AM

No problem. Glad I could help

Awesome! THis is definitively gonna make the front page in the near future. It looks very polished. I can't test it yet, but I'll do so ASAP.

Also I had this idea for a secret unlockable level if you still have extra space for sprites

u/Dudeman313 March 20, 2016, 01:11:29 PM

I like that too!

@JWinslow23 , are you considering entering it for ticalc.org's POTY?

u/Lionel Debroux March 20, 2016, 03:18:59 PM

Indeed, you should upload it to ticalc.org as well, if you haven't done so yet

A version for color calculators (yup, I'm aware of the other topic) would be even more feature-worthy. On TI-Planet, we noticed over the past couple years that the popularity of games for monochrome calculators was waning quickly.

Thank you! But you do realize that 1. I don't see a button or any mechanism to open that door in that stage, and 2. I literally only have ONE tile left to assign a property to, with my current scheme (1 tile/nibble, 0=blank, 1=solid ground, 2=up spikes, 3=down spikes, 4=left spikes, 5=right spikes, 6=entry pipe, 7=exit pipe, 8 and 9=door, A and B=button, C and D=button being pressed, E=invisible solid tile (for Mime's folly)), so that may not work

Now that you mention it, I think I will. It's been a while since I even uploaded a file to ticalc.org anyways.

I can understand that. I am actually considering a version for the CE once I learn enough C to make one. I might also show this to jmtb02 himself through email if I can
