SubHunt v1.0 For 82 and 83 Released
Posted by Nick on 8 September 1999, 23:24 GMT
Sam Heald of Void Productions has ported Subhunt, the immensely popular game for the PalmPilot, to the 82 (Ash) and 83 (AShell83). One thing that makes this game especially noteworthy is its size (about 2100 bytes) thanks to the optimizations of Wouter Demuynck [home page]. Unfortunately, some of the coding prevents 85 or 86 ports from being made at this time. On a similar tangent, SubHunt will not run under an 86 shell supporting 82 and/or 83 ASM, such as ASE, YAS or Rascall.

Pretty Spiffy game. I just wanted to take this time to congratulate all of the programmers for spending their time engineering all these games. Everyone has been doing a great job at programming and me, myself, knows how time consuming programming can be sometimes. Everyone, Thank you for all your time spent towards developing new and creative games. Just keep up the good work, cause I know it isn't just me who thinks you programmers do a great job at it.

Last weekend my brother came home from college. he showed me his palm pilot that he just got and it had some games Including this one. He had breakout and things like that but this was the most addictive and fun game. Everyone who can should download this. this seems to even go faster than the palm pilot one. Though I wish someone would convert it to TI-83+

Dang, no emulation of 86.
The only time is not good to have only an 86 is when games like these come out.
Did anyone notice the lack of Games for the 86 beside me?

I have to say, this game IS pretty addictive, and with some good graphics too, considering it's less than 2.5K. Will it be ported to the TI-83+ Ion shell?

Did anyone else have problems with using Mode as the right fire button? Everytime I press it the program quits. I hope they fix this in a future version.

I think more programmers should port (or make versions of) Palm Pilot games for TI calcs...SubHunt is a good start. Visiting several Palm Pilot pages (such as the excellent PEZ) and seeing the games available for them makes me want to go out and get a Palm V!

This game is cool! I played it, and loved it! However, I do wish you could turn your boat around so it would fire out of both ends. Still, it's a pretty fun game!

Download v1.2 from ticalc.org. It fixes the MODE bug, and I also decreased the delay between shots (which should make the game a little harder).
