Re: Game Ideas

Someone PLEASE tell me how to create levels for Phoenix TI 83+ !!! I have tried using the dos programs downloaded from ticalc.org and included with the program "Phoenix.8xp" but they don't work. I have also tried the program "Phx Level Editor" in the "Windows Programs" section and it only makes it in ASM code. If anyone can tell me how to turn the ASM into a *.8xp file, PLEASE E-mail me: millermmail@yahoo.com
Thanks.

I am just learning BASIC and would like some ideas for games. I haven't fully learned how to do pics but I can do text well. So if you have any suggestions for a text game please email me. Thank you.

Kurt, I have an idea for you. You should make a text sims game, level based like PS2 and XBOX. Use variables for sure, I've been programming basic for a while now, and it's needed. Anything that causes change, like a variable, is fun.

How about a DanceDanceRevolution Disney Remix game? Using the link port, you could input variables from the dance pad. It would be as simple as a GetCalc( command. Then use a variable to keep track of your score.
P.S. What about a Massively Multiplayer Online RPG? Phantasy Star, anyone?

MMO? On a calc? Would this be turn based?

And how could it be Massively Multiplayer?

Besides, the only other plug-in for a calc besides a link cable is headphones (as far as I know...)

I would like someone to tell me how to make a program similar to uncle worm for basic. I dont think its possible.

Very possible but very slow. You might be able to do it better with ASM utilities. I've done the moving around part in straight BASIC but it was too slow to be any fun. Here's an idea: learn ASM...much better. I can give you my algorithms if you want though...

Let me tell you something

Though z80 basic may be the most limited/SLOW programming language in existence, you can do anything with it if you know how; the only thing you can't do is make complex things run at any decent speed.

Example: I used it to make a program that lets you create, modify, view, save, and load 3D wireframe objects at the same time. I made a 3D Pong game! I even made something similar to blockdude! mind you though, that the blockdude thing was in TEXT and kinda slow, and ANY 3D program I have ever made takes time to load when you want to rotate/move anything

But as I was saying, you can do anything if you know how; except make the "getcalc" command work properly and CONCURRENTLY with other calcs at the same time; and make output work when running from mirage (if you use Disp and then Input, it will go back to the first line); I don't think you can give a basic program a pic, but you can give it mirageOS compatibility and a description

3D world

I have seen games like gemeni and wolfenstein3D on the 83+ and stuff... somebody needs to make a 2PLAYER shooting game like that.

Or a 3D world [editor]; just something that you can explore; an Real-world looking thing with streets and houses or whatever (just not single level box-rooms!). Like if somebody just made the part of mario64 outside of the castle just to be veiwed, that would be cool.
I would just like to see something with terrain and a real-world feel instead of a few raycasts in boxes!

The closest thing to what you are talking about is Space Dementia II mod arena's 3d techniques for the 68k calcs. The reason for the "few raycasts in boxes" is SPEED! It is very hard to pull off any kind of realistic 3d on a calculator and raycasting, the technique that most 3d games for calcs use, is not true 3d and therefore is faster at the cost of looking real. Even Thibaut Chevalier's Space Dementia sacrifices speed for a more realistic 3d engine.
