The new Minesweeper and Connect 4/5 by TICT (TI Chess Team) are great games!! Great grayscale and AI. I love their chess game, never found a good chess game till now TIChess, I just wish that the progs would run under DoorsOS II as well as being a nostub prog but I don't know if that is possible since I know very little ASM and even less 68k ASM. But either way keep up the GREAT WORK!!

hmm my last comment got deleted... oh well, anyways it bugged me that i couldent run these from doors, but with doors i didn't need the launcher for ams 2.03. I also thought the controlls were less then intuitive (we all hate instructions), but i was able to figure them out. Keep up the good work ti-chess team!

Man, I played a few dozen games of ticon45, sucker beat me every time.
PLEE TO TI-CHESS
Make mare AI levels (add easier ones)

Yes. They are great. I always think how to pay programmers for their great work. Maybe the congratulations is enough. Minesweeper rocks !

Hmmm... I guess that your gratitude makes us feel proud ;-)

.... thanx for the "roses" ;-)
We'll keep up with programs like that ...

these games are written in c not asm

Hexalon, I know the games are in C but the calc doesn't read straight C it is a modifed 68k ASM that acts like C but is really ASM just better, and besides I know C/C++, but i wish that the games would be nostub and be able to run from DoorsII that would be good cause some games are nostub only and I forget and am like this game doesn't work when I remeber it is nostub so DoorsII won't run it. Oh well.

Back to learning ASM and making skins for mp3 players,

The author has the source code in with the zip file. Just re-compile it under TI-GCC without the no stub line. Add the doors.h one instead. I hope that helps.

later.

i am a dummy, and i dont know how to figure thigs out for myself, but im gonna try this one, but for future reference could use send me detailed instructions on how to recompile a program for doors? but if u dont have the time er something please dont woryy about it, thanx

Am I still sick... or doesn't it say in the documentation to TI-C that nostub programs DO run under Doors? or I'm i messing smtg up here?

Yes, it runs under Doors....OS. No miracle there. Sorry for the confusion!

It's graphics like that that make me wish I had a TI-89

Only because the graphics? there are a lot of things inside a TI89 that can make you kill somebody to have one ! However, graphics like that proves the quality and power of the calc, much better than see it doing derivatives or integrals...

I know i'll kill someone if he even thinks of stealing mine

If you want a good Miesweeper for the 83 check out mine at the url.

/me opens up drawer, takes out ti-89, blows off dust.

This is the first news item or any of the like in months that I have actually been interested in downloading :) Hey, that's summer.

- one[2]

This news item and the previous one were so interesting that I clicked on the 89 downloads before I finished reading the headline!

While your calc is sitting in your drawer, my four didn't get any time off thanks to summer school:|(its to jump ahead) and a ga tech engineering program:](for fun).

You messed up the mailto link. Instead of mailto:mailto:fred@ticalc.org, it should be mailto:fred@ticalc.org.

Although I don't understand what that has to do with connect4 anyway... :-)

Nor do I.

Er, I mean fred@calc.org, not fred.ticalc.org.

Or fred@ticalc.org for that matter...
Fixed. I suck. Thanks. :)

Still, what is the significance of that link?

Anyways, we all make mistakes, particularly two certain BASIC programming groups full of hyperactive 12-year-olds, to paraphrase you.

Not just hyperactive 12-year-olds, but "power-hungry, pre-pubescent, twelve-year-old control freaks." ;-)

Most hyperactive 12-year-olds are arrogant narcissistic control freaks.

Nah, one of my favorite people in the world is an 11yo with ADHD. He's not particularly that hyper, and is very sweet and quite thoughtful and intelligent. I don't see him turning into a arrogant, narcissistic control freak when he's 12. (13, OTOH, is a different story. Most pubescents become hell to be around at that age--I was the same way--and it's amazing to think I wasn't killed by my own parents.)

Neither age nor things like ADHD (which I have myself) is an excuse for poor behavior. Someone who has poor behavioral skills simply needs to work on some character development.

For the record, when I *do* see such people screaming all over the Net and on Web pages, I just chuckle and find something productive and useful to do. Those who don't grow out of it will be beat up as adults. :)

I dunno - I don't think the two BASIC groups with hyperactive 12-year-olds actually /did/ paraphrase Nick much... ;)

_I_, not the 12yos, was paraphrasing Nick

I /knew/ that. It was just an excuse for a lame joke ;)

I just seem to be mistake-prone today don't I?

fred.ticalc.org indeed... /me shakes head at self

Obviously none of you have been on any of the TI related IRC channels where Fred uses the nick connect4... thus the association.

You're probably right.

I'd probably also be right in saying that half of us wouldn't know who Fred is. :-)

Likely more than that.

Who's Fred?
