Cirlce pong entry?

*Follows links* Oh... That's cool.

Yeah, that does look cool. I wonder if anybody made one of those four-sided pong games? I made a crappy-ish one for the TI-89.

i just uploaded quadropong today. so you can either get it from here or from either the MC or GF website. =]

I saw it uploaded here, at ticalc. :)
Looks kinda like the one I made, except mine could go at any angle, rather than the four diagonals... but I wouldn't consider my pong game that great. It gets dull after a while :-\

A couple of people have.

The winner of the basic version has uploaded their file for download here on ticalc.org. See the link above for its fleinfo.

Nice circle pong game :)

btw, the author of that pong is the one who did TiNY CAR

congrats kuda !

Circle pong is definitally one of thoughs programs/games that come in right under your nose, and stares you right in the face! Definitally a great consept, and an excellent implementation!

Leo Kuda seems to be the latest talented programmer that has arrisen in the community, atleast I had never heard of him. Though I have heard some people preach 'TIFT power'!

I was the one who tried to make tiny worms, which seemed to well start, nut in fact I would have to recode everything, I was unskilled, and I some routine were really good, but the organisation was horrible...

Is that the tiny worms on which also drubu prod works on? o.o

If only I wanted to take the time to learn z80 ASM.

Well, once you get started in the language and learn all the fundamentals, then it's pretty easy from there. Maybe if you get bored during the summer, that will give you something to do.

Or, I could rewrite cruel. I need to, to put in new features, and because I don't know how the orignal works.

-W-

Bored during summer break? I can't be bored then! My schedule is already packed. 9:00 AM through 11:00 PM - sweat in the hot temperatures and dream of winter, 11:00 PM through 9:00 AM - sleep j/k :)

But seriouly I'm going to be spending my entire summer expanding my assembly skills to.

Don't learn z80 ASM, learn TIGCC! Sure you might not have a calculator to play your stuff on, but that's what emulators are for. Please don't take me seriously.

how 'bout you get both calculators then you can learn z80 asm, 68k asm, and tigcc!

Dude, what do you think I used to program CRUEL? I don't want to learn z80 asm, you think I am going to learn 68k asm?

-W-

TIGCC is GNU C, not 68k ASM. I think you knew that but I needed to make sure.

What a waste of a contest....pleazee...a pong contest LAMO!

Why not a contest to get a desktop processor working in a ti-89, aswell as a pressure sensitive color screen for stylus action...and probably a mouse port to.

Well, well, who prevents you from organising one?

..someone already beat him to it. You can get the schematics and software for hooking up a mouse (PS/2, I believe) to a Ti-89 online. Of course, there are very few programs that take advantage of it, so its use is limited.

or you could just buy a PDA and put a ti-89 emulator on it

Hey, and while you're at it add
a 20 gig hard drive and a DVD burner!
But, really, these are calcs that we're
talking about, not computers.
I'm happy as long as it does what it's
suppposed to do.

Why do you add so many line breaks to your posts?

That's just how I type. Is there anything wrong woth that?

by the time you put in a new processor and a touch screen and a mouse, then, well, you dont have a ti-89 anymore. You have a suped-up piece of overheating plastic that cant run anything it used to, nor does it have the memory to run anything it should be able to...

But with a nice description you might be able to sell it for a nice amount of money on Ebay.

Wait, are you saying the contest is lame?

-W-

yes, i know, i don't agree with him either but this is (might be depending on where you live) america and he has freedom of speech (even though his opinions may be wrong ;), jk)

Because calculators are capable of alot more then pong...why not have a contest for soemthing like a 3d mario game akin to the n64 game or soemthing...

Crap, you did not get it. lmao, when you are dislexic, looks like lamo. As in lame. Man, I thought you guys would have gotten that.

-W-

Heh, I did :-D *feels special* I've always thought the same thing about LMAO. In fact, I read all the text that I type in my head, and I pronounce "lmao" as "lay-moh."

But either way... a pong contest really isn't lame. I think it's kind of clever, actually. But, whatever, we had this convo back in the article where the announced the contest. :)

I say the same thing for lmao. I even wanted to type it "lamo" over there.

-W-

All the 3D games that I've seen take up waaaay too much memory. And besides, its a CALCULATOR, not a PS2! Not that calc games are bad, I love making them, but there's a line between calcs and consoles! Besides, the point of the contest is not to try to design something that would be better suited for a computer, but to refine an old classic.
