News catchup, part 3
Posted by Travis on 26 October 2015, 21:19 GMT
Last month Kerm released Tetric A for the TI-84 Plus CE. This Tetris rendition features some nifty graphics and five unique game modes.
Kevin Ouellet (DJ Omnimaga) also created First Fantasy: Mana Force for both the CSE and CE. This is a classic Final-Fantasy-like hybrid TI-BASIC game that uses Doors CSE (for the CSE version) or CE Textlib (for the CE version). It uses text graphics, but with clever use of color and animation. It reminds of my nostalgaic QBasic programming days years ago when I wrote programs and games using text mode (because it was simpler and faster than actual graphics mode).
Also, a while back, Kyle Ingalsbe uploaded a fully-functional Zelda-themed game for the TI-89, along with sources for the Crystal Engine it uses and the game itself. Although players extremely familiar with the official Game Boy games might notice a number of subtle differences in how this rendition plays compared to the originals, it certainly represents a lot of work and is worth checking out, in my opinion.

Thanks for the mention Travis and glad that ticalc.org is having news again. :)
Something I wonder is how 84+CSE/CE BASIC games will compete in the POTY, since the ASM sections for both calcs are separate categories? Will it be like when TI-83 and 83+ games competed against each others? Or will the TI-BASIC directory be eventually split like on Cemetech?

Thanks for my zelda mention. My crystal engine is a side project, but I do continue to work on it here and there. Right now, I am working to add more features and make it faster. If I have time, I will create another zelda game for the TI-89. My only issue is coming up with ideas for dungeons and castles. If someone wants to draw out some dungeons, castles, or an overworld for me, then I would be happy to take it from a picture and hard code it in.
