Shells, Puzzles, and Contests, Oh My!

A lot of big things have been dropping from Christopher "Kerm Martian" Mitchell and Cemetech recently, but where do we start? Action? Romance? Werewolves?! Better than all of those, let's dish on calc shells!

Many people know Doors CS as the shell that keeps on giving, the shell that has evolved into one that does it all. The reputation is upheld by its recent update to version 7.2, a now hulking beast that has come a long way, baby. This is said to be the last release of the shell, and it's certainly feature-rich enough to stay on top of any forseeable future software developments for its platform(s), but we'll still hold out a glimmer of hope for the addition of multitouch support for an eventual port to iOS. It's really been a joy watching this project unfold over the years.

In order to assuage the sting of a bittersweet "goodbye" to Doors CS updates, Kerm has released a soon-to-be fan favorite for the TI-84+ CSE: Tetric A: Color Tetris. Let's face it, everyone loves a good Tetris game, and Tetric A looks great. Plus, we love seeing such a quality software library for the 84+ CSE expanding so rapidly.

Finally, the recently-mentioned Cemetech Physics Contest has reached its exciting conclusion with some really knock-out entries. We hope to see widespread release of the great work that the contestants put in and would like to give a heart-felt congrats to everyone involved!
