Super Mario v0.9 and Blink Released
Posted by Nick on 12 October 1999, 03:49 GMT

In the past few days, many exciting programs have been released. These two are of special note:

Tom Faulkner has released Super Mario v0.9 for the TI-83 under AShell83. This game features smooth side scrolling and excellent effects such as underwater play. It also comes with a level editor, so external levels can be made.

TCPA has made another great game. This game, called Blink, is available for the Ion shell for the 83 and 83 Plus, and also for SOS for the 83; you can get that here. This puzzle game is very similar to Lights Out where you must eliminate all the squares that are not blackened.

Thanks to both Tom and TCPA for their great programs!

To find the comment I'm replying to, you'll have to scroll pretty far up, I didn't want to lengthen an already tedious thread up there. I believe Sam Heald was the author of a message that said, "by 7th grade graphing calculators are practically required," or something to that effect.

Call me old-fashioned. Call me technologically impaired. Call me an idiot. But until 11th grade, the only calculator I used was my trusty TI-35x. I have no idea what anyone would use a graphing calc for in Algebra I, Geometry, or even Algebra II, save some of the trigonometry usually found in Algebra II. We never used a utility to graph a function, we did it ourselves. We didn't save formulas as programs, we memorized them and did them ourselves. I never purchased a graphing calculator until last year, when I purchased my 86 for Pre-Calculus. I could have gotten through easily with a normal scientific calculator, but every once in a while my 86 came through with an easier solution. This year is the only year that I have ever been "required" to have a graphing calculator, in AP Calculus. And even with the "advanced" material, much of the work is still done with no calculator at all. Required? I think not.
