BUG REPORT NOTES

Sending Bug Reports: If you do find a problem, Please State EXACTLY what you do to cause it so we can repeat it. Also, It would be very helpful to send us everything that is on your calculator so we can figure out if software you may also have installed is conflicting somehow with FF7. If we E-mail you back, PLEASE RESPOND! It drives us nuts when people e-mail us saying basically "I was Playing FF7 and it Crashed" and when we e-mail them for more information, They never reply. We want to make the Highest Quality Game possible, But that cant be accomplished if we receive no (or Useless) information about possible bugs in the software. Remember, The More Information you give us about the crash, the Better! Just Remember that We are not Psychics. :P

Please send all Bug Reports to fryedsoft@calc.org

WHAT IS FINAL FANTASY 7 AND WHO MADE IT?

Final Fantasy 7 (the Playstation/PC version), the characters and the storyline were developed by SquareSoft. it's one of the Best RPG ever to grace a console system. it's also the longest with over 1 Gig of space spread out on three CD disks. It took over two years to complete the game and release it. Many people bought Playstations just for this one game. If you own a Playstation and don't own this game, it's about time you go buy it. If you don't own a Playstation, Get the PC Version of the game. Obviously, your on some kind of computer if you're reading this

Final Fantasy 7, Cloud's Quest (the Ti-92/Ti-89 version) was developed by Damon D'ambrosi of Nomad Software and Ed Fry of Fryed Software. It's based on the SquareSoft characters but builds on the already perfect storyline that SquareSoft developed. it takes about 50000 memory on the calculator just to store the code and the pictures. it took over three months to complete, test and release. It's possibly one of the best TI-BASIC program ever seen on any Texas instrument calculator.

Final Fantasy Quadratic Solver was developed by Fryed Software. The reason for doing this is because in one of the discussions on ticalc.org a few years back, A user named Disco Stu in a discussion about program of the month and why quadratic formula programs were in it gave me the perfect idea for a quick 5 minute modification to whip up by saying the following...

"What if someone made a grayscale quadratic formula program, called it Final Fantasy Quadratic Solver, and made animated screenshots?"

I though to myself, why not? Eventually The Wacky Fun Random Number Generator was created and inspired me to make this game addition to FF7. The Quadratic Solving formulas used were derived from the program Quadratic Formula Solver v1.0 created by Terium. You can find it in the Basic Math section of the Ti-89 on ticalc.org. I thank him for producing such a great program formula.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Sometimes After I beat Rhylos, Just when Red XIII was about to tell me the numbers, Rhylos appears, everybody disappears and he Transforms the World into his utopia! What the hell happened!!
A: For some reason the numbers you put in the beginning was not liked by the code that solves the problem. In that particular case, Rhylos comes out from nowhere and wins.
