is this the same pang thats been out for a week or so?

Yup, I posted this news item on TI-News along time ago, along with a translated version...

Someone forgot to include PANG v1.01 in today (05/28/2000) new files.

boy, it sure is a good time to be owning an 89

especially a HW1. :)

you said it

hw2's are better since they are faster and with the new OS's greyscale works so hw2's are much better.

hw2's also have more archive mem

maxmem = gives HW1 users full 720k of archive memory

hw2patch = necessary for hw2 users to even be able to run most programs, grayscale on some programs (Tetris) don't work (at least Im guessing not, since it wouldn't work with other "fixes" for grayscale on hw2)

so as I see it, HW2s have more deficiencies than a HW1 calc

That might change after the SDK release.

are you sure theyre (HW2) faster?

from ti.com faq:
(explaining differences between HW1 and HW2)

Altered the management of the user portion of the Flash
ROM. You will recognize this update only when the
Advanced Mathematics Software Version 2.0 operating
system is installed. With hardware version 2.0 and the 2.0
operating system, you have more user archive space while
the total amount of Flash ROM is unchanged.

Once a user has loaded the 2.0 operating system and a
few applications, the hardware version 2.0 and the original
TI-89 are practically the same. This scenario is expected
for most users in the future as many great application
ideas are floating around.

Slightly increased the processor speed from about 10 MHz
to about 12 MHz.

HW2's would be awesome, because they support a lot of new features like better processor speed (like he said ^) and stuff... only problem being they crash so much having games on them isn't worth the trouble.

Many great things... you're right. Just look at all that green in the file icons for recent files... too bad it isn't St. Patrick's day *g*...

FINALLY!!! I am so happy to see an ASM version of Tanks! I've been waiting so long for this. I loved the old Gorrilas game back in the day, I loved the original Tanks... I really loved Scorched Earth... so much in fact that I actually registered it--only to get the internet a few years later and find it all over the net... Anyway, I love the new ASM version, it's great. all I'd add is a store like on Scorch... Ya know, lots of cool weapons that blow huge amounts of terrain away... stuff like that. I think the concept of winning money for not getting hit is kinda...well... dumb, but it's still a great game.

Pang...still an addictive game... can't get enough of it...

Solar Striker... well, I loved the demo, but I can't get this one to work... I'll try again later... I probably forgot to put a certian file on the calc...

On my HW1 AMS2.03 TEOS+TEX TI-89 (wow that is an interesting description), I had problems until I unarchived the levels...

try teOS with doors instead of tex

I have HW2 AMS 2.03 with Doors .96 and I archived Solar, and all of the levels (including Phoenix) and the game was F***ING AWESOME! It is just like Airofighters (aireofighters, something like that, dont tell me i spelt it wrong) Scrolling background(s), options, everything. I didnt even pay attention to how big it was becuase I was able to archive everything, I hate to say this, but I like Solar Striker better than Phoenix! Good job

You need to get money for not being hit.. otherwise you would not be able to make any comeback... if you did not have enough power to make it to the other person's tank, they would just be able to shoot you like fish in a barrel.

SolarStriker v1.00 Pre-Final is great!!!!
Can't wait for the final...

PANG is also great!

i like tanks

that's because you made it.

i also made it because i like it :)

Why would people develop games if they don't even like what they're programming? I personally can't wait to play the game I'm working on right now ;)

I just thought I'd tell you that I love tanks too! I had 2 friends over today and for an hour we were playing tanks full screen on VTI....thats how good your game is, so keep up the good work..and thanks for all of your time you spent programing.

Does anyone know of a place where I can get a tank version for my PC? I remembered playing tank all the time, the best version was "super blaster", there was a clowd and when you shot it, it would get pissed and kill you. I searched all over the net but couldn't find one good version of tanks, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Andy Dufilie (programmer of Tanks for the 89) has a PC version of Tanks 89 on his website. Go check it out!

hehe
yeah i do
(still needs work though)
