Paper Plane Released
Posted by Michael on 24 May 2004, 22:58 GMT

[Paper Plane] Several people have e-mailed me with news of a falldown-type game called Paper Plane. Instead of the traditional ball with a fixed vertical speed, you control the direction of a falling paper plane. Each direction has a different, realistic speed. The two modes allow you to play on a constant level or a randomly generated one. Paper Plane is available for the 82, 83, and 83 Plus. Please do not attempt to duplicate this from the top of an office building.

Does anyone besides me find the controls seem backward?

Took a few minutes for me to get it and I still crash occasionally, but I would have to agree that for a flying plane with a direction of travel opposite to that of the user's viewing direction there should be an option to invert the controls. A quick fix would be to play it with your calc upside-down :)

Guess I didn't see that. I hate sounding foolish. At least I didn't say that it didn't exist, just that it should :)

I've reached the end of the random mode with a score of 607 or something. As for the classic, I'm stuck at about 368.

I first played this game for Wario Inc and was addicted. Havn't played it in a while, and then I see it on ticalc.org. (In recent uploads of course, never news anymore.) I decided it was one of the worthy programs that actually make it past VTI and onto my calc, and so it and MirageOS 1.2 came at the same time for me.

Has anyone else noticed that at ~620 points in the random level the level ends?
