i think the zip file containd a DOS version of this game very amusing

The game looks interesting, I'll have to check it out.

what ever happened to that grammar police guy... :)

Yeah, the DOS version is cool; hasn't this game been around longer than three weeks? I seem to have seen it somewhere quite a while ago.

The game's been around for a long time. I know friends have had it on their calculators for at least a year or two. I think it got updated about three weeks ago. I guess sometimes the ticalc.org staffers aren't on top of things as much as the community is. I want to be able to play it on my V200 and my computer.

Y'know, if you ever see a neat program like this in the archives, you could send an e-mail to news@ticalc.org. :-D

Are you talking about lord_nightrose, the spelling nazi?

I've never seen or heard of this game before. So, it's a text-based RPG-type game? And the review and ratings are kinda nice for it... 8.69, currently. I guess people must like it.

It is actually a Win32 console version, not a DOS version.

*hits head*

So THAT'S where people are getting the DOS version. I was about to search around on the internet to find it. LOL, I'm really slow.

... It's my BIRTHDAY! :)

lol... mine's the 12th. Same month.

Wait, so there's a new version of this now? I played an earlier versions and it was awesome, but there were a few bugs.

I honestly don't know if it is a new version, the file hasn't been updated since March 16 of this year.

Oh, well then its newer then the version I've got. (downloads the game)

My only problem with this game is that is absolutely will not run on a Voyage 200! It simply won't run! I've played (and loved) it on my friend's TI-92+, but I can't play it on my own calculator! Arrgh, will the author recompile it so it will run on a V200? Or at the least, someone could tell me how to compile it so it would run on a V200...

I don't know about this version, but the latter one ran just fine. I had to modify it with v200exepatch, but fter that it worked w/ out a porblem.

V200exepatch? I hadn't heard of that. Thanks for the help. I really like this game. Yay!

V200ExePatch? Ugh. Isn't there a better way? I don't like how patched programs aren't PPG compressed. '-_-

Write a routine:

patches executable
detects data type
if type=ppg
ttstart(program)
elseif type=asm or type=prgm or type=komp
flib("komp:"&program)

Erm, using ttstart doesn't work on it. It gives a "Wrong Calculator Model" error.

actually, the name of the genre of games is 'roguelike', (eg: nethack is in the style of rogue) see URL for more details

Off topic but no where else to put it...

Happy e Day!

2.718281828... (I used to know about 5 more digits :|)

How do you get e-day from April 11?

71st day of February.

Oh. My. God. I can't tell if that's funny or sad.

[Off-topic; forgive me, MV] Is anyone here involved with the FIRST robotics competition? Our team is headed to the nationals in Atlanta next week, and I'm curious if I'll be seeing any fellow ticalcers.

I wish. It sounds like DI (Destination Imagination) (see link), but better.

I hadn't heard of NetHack, so I downloaded it. Gotta love opensource: they are more likely to have a MacOS binary.

Great example to set.

I'll be in Atlanta next week, just not for programming! I'm going there for a fencing tournament. (see link for details) I hope to see a programming friend there (he's also in calcware). I'll be there from the 22nd to about the 28th.

It's sad.

What team are you in the FIRST Competition? I can't go this year, but my team, Team Lightning #862, is going. Our robot was doing really bad at Regionals, and the only way we got to nationals was that they picked our team randomly :P

Team #1388, Eagle Robotics

Huh. Well then...

The game looks pretty cool, though I really don't use my calculator much for gaming anymore. I actually use it for math. (Amazing, I know.) I saw someone in my physics class playing it though.

wow, that's scary...
e day. hm.
I think I like 3.14169265358979323846 day better.

Pie day could be fun too. (Pi*e=8.53973422267356706546355086...) Then we could actually eat PIES! :)

Does 'S' have any significant number associated with it? We should come up with a Mathematical dictionary:
pi, e, i, c (speed of light in a vacuum), au, g, and many others could be used because they are all constants (with the possiple arguable exception of the speed of light)...hey! you could spell "piece" with that...pi*e*c*e = 6959203550.8417e9 meters/second

Would you just look at what you have done!
