PuzzPack v1.0 Released by TCPA
Posted by Nick on 4 December 1999, 06:54 GMT
TCPA has released another TI-83 Plus FLASH application today called The TCPA Puzzle Pack. It contains four of the puzzle games created by members of TCPA: Yoshi, Block Dude, Tetris Attack, and Pegs. This application was programmed and organized by Jason Kovacs. "The purpose of creating this flash app," Jason says, "is to collaborate the efforts of the TCPA, allowing the programs to share code and minimize the amount of memory used for them. We wanted to release our games in this more professional form since applications are officially signed by Texas Instruments themselves."

Yep, TI does indeed support games, as it sells calculators.
(They also obviously support math and stuff)
But WHY would TI sign somthing that contained copyrighted and trademarked material? I think Nintendo or that company that makes tetris could sue TI for that! (you need to pay royalties to use the name tetris or word-that-ends-with-tris)
What's next? TI signing 'Super Mario Bros 83+'? Lawsuit.

Actually, on the tetris matter:
I truely don't think that the word "Tetris" is protected by law (either by copyright, trademark, or registered trademark) anymore. It's because all these companies, including Nintendo, and persons creating Tetris-apps for the computer do not have anything in common.
The original tetris maker, I am sorry, but do not recall his name, although I've met him personally, probably doesn't care about the use of Tetris and -tris words. (He's a Russian guy, I think his name was Alex something...)

how do flash apps differ from normal programs (other than the obvious facts about staying on calc after reset)? Do they still need enough ram to run?

Wow, as I don't have an 83+ I can't play this app, but it sounds great! I have played the individual games on the 83 though and they are very good! (Especially Tetris Attack!) TCPA really seems to be doing a great job! Keep up the good work TCPA!!
