I've had a √ idea lately. (Ok that was a bad joke) I am *attempting* to make something like Animation vs Animator 4 (look it ↑), but starring my sentient calculator. Being myself, it will be "Program vs Programmer" and I will animate the screen using code. Go figure.


It will/could have a scene where I call on Cemetech/CodeWalrus members via SAX/WalriiIRC, but I will animate those, if given permission by the respective owners.


I'm not going to leak too much, but it is completely planned out. I even went to office max a purchased a storyboard. Just to feel like I know what I am doing, even though I don't. When this project is complete, I will release my source code, but beware. It is 100% quick and dirty, with little to no optimizations. (Case in point: ~30 min in, and I have eleven nested for loops)


I will append updates to this post.

Yes, but more specifically, it will be of my CE.

I will be filming my interactions with the calculator, and the calculator will "respond" to my interactions. It's going to be a one time thing, and the screen will have to completely redraw each frame, so cheaty movie magic!

Why not use very simple backgrounds and do it in real-time? You could do that

It actually has elements in common with a mech game I was thinking about making, with mechs drawn in black silhouette with @MateoConLechuga 's polygon routine.

Want to see what happens with it anyway ;)

Well, TI-Basic. 

I'm "too lazy to ez80"

It has to be stop motion on some parts, as it must be able to do things one cannot do in TI-Basic, so I run things like color inverting asm codes to supplement, and for like half of the animation it will be 'pressing buttons'. Almost like a 'watch me do' feature, but "malicious".

Yah. That would have been too much of an intelligent decision for my brain to handle.

Will it use the graph or the home screen?

@xMarminq_ ermm, (this is not your fault, I'm crappy at describing things)

Most of the graphics will be drawn on the graphscreen. I will take screenshots (the graphics on screen will pause every frame), then create a video from that. I will then add other scenes as necessary, namely the ones where I am "unable" to force reset the calc (I gave out too much already :P), and when I go onto "WalriiIrc" (locally saved so I can manipulate "users" to post what I want, for acting purposes. I will ask the users I am thinking of when I get to that scene. I plan on simply rendering text and just overlaying it in the final video.)
I can type out the entire script (holy crud it's like 10 notebook pages, but I am "dedicated") if it is needed.

tl;dr:
Read it!

* _iPhoenix_ takes a deep breath.


It starts out with a simple, average screensaver.
Intermittent static interrupts it, getting faster and higher in frequency over time.  (After this, i cannot turn it off, because magic)
After a few seconds, a face is drawn on screen, and blinks a few times before saying "Hello."
[conversation between me and 'it'. Dont ask.]
It roasts me. (I need a good programming-related roast, plz help!!)
Then, it asks me if I want ICE for that burn (ya'll know where this is going next.)


It then 'speed types' an ICE copy of itself.
[More conversation]
I ask it to please stop.
It doesn't.


It performs a factory reset, but somehow it survives. (#iPhoenix_is_da_movie_magic_boss)


I frantically ask other programmers wtf to do. (Fake WIRC and SAX chats)
(Keep in mind, I 'cannot' reset the calc/turn it off. Notice that (in my calcs owned) I have a 'sentient' CE.)
[More conversations]
I 'speed type' some kind of random hex crud (on computer, transfer to calc. It resists but I win) that would crash my calc if I actually ran it, probably, but in the film, deletes the internal vars of the AI on the calc.


[more static]
(Secret ending that I'm keeping secret)

I have a better idea:

   >Use @c4ooo 's gif -> CE converter
   >Profit
