Great programs already downloaded and started playing

i also agree these are great programs, i personally like mahjong the best, and memory needs a tile set =)

im looking for some help too. Can someone inform me how to make these programs work in doors explorer: mahjongg, memory, lids, phoenix, queue, and tichess

im not a programer furthest ive gone is to make a basic math program that solves quadratic equations with imaginary numbers, my email address is redhick5@yahoo.com any help is greatly appreciated

nostub programs are nice, but i like doors explorer =)

I'm not sure if you're saying you can't get them to run or if you just can't run them from doors. Personally I run them with (diamond)+(number) shortcuts, by creating a program like:

kbdprgm7()
Prgm
phoenix()
EndPrgm

That way I can run Phoenix instantly without having to type or anything.

Nice job! If these programs are anywhere close to as good as I expect them to be, it would just confirm TICT's status as currently the best programming group out there. Other "top notch" programming groups I've seen have a bunch of members but rarely release programs, and when they do, they aren't all that great anyway. TICT doesn't have all of those inactive members and continues to give great release after great release for the 68k calcs.

I just tried your new programs and they are in fact great, and very addictive! There is just one thing missing: a high score list. This probably wouldn't take that long to make and it's nice to know what your high score is so that you have something to shoot for.

I love having a good Mahjong game for my 89, but I am disappointed by the tile set for it. One of the things I enjoy about Mahjong games is seeing all of the different tile sets people create. The playability is great, but I would have loved to see more traditional symbols. I can't wait to see what else you guys can do.

If you know a little about how to make sprites, you could probably easily change the tiles in the source code. Check out the tutorial at the TICT site about how to handle images in C, and create your own tile set! It would require very little or no actual programming.

Skin the program, eh? I might try that.

I love Mahjong, I can't wait to download it and play it in my calc. The nintendo game boy version is really great, let's see if this is as good as it.

Ok, I've been looking at that stupid LID name...I don't see the hidden german in it. Sebastian, someone, please tell me what he is talking about.

From tict.ticalc.org:

It's called TI-LIDS (Leckfett'n-Is-Des-Schwa).
If you wonder what the subtitle means: it's a styrian slang phrase I have used heavily during my tries to solve it

I don't know if that's German or not though...
-Sean

It's a slang phrase from the southern part of Austria. An approximated german translation is "Verdammt, ist das schwer" or in english "Damn, that's hard".

To be honest, it isn't really difficult after you begin to visualize and think ahead. In fact, I found that after I beat it once, it was easy from then on. Perhaps if the game had other levels, with more sections, it would have more playability.

I agree, At first I thought it would be impossible, but after 2 or 3 tries I got it and now I can beat it every time.

The next versions of TI-Mahjongg and TI-Memory will feature better graphics (maybe selectable piecesets), highscores, tries counters, statistics and all that stuff.
These games are part of my "lunch-break" collection, which means that almost the complete coding was done in my lunch breaks. Due to the fact that I have to focus now on something completely different, I thought releasing it in it's actual state will be better than holding them back for, let's say, some weeks until the additionally features are done.
BTW: If anyone wants to contribute a piece set:
In the distribution directory src/gfx exists a file called preset_tiles.bmp which can be used as template for making an own piece set. An complete pieceset should consists of 32 different pieces (splitted up in four BMP files).
Just send your creation to me or to Marcos Lopez.
Our email addresses can be found on the contacts page of http://tict.ticalc.org

Somehow, that isn't ispiring... i love programming, but doing it on your lunch time? :/
Good work, though.

It's almost the only free time during the week where I can to "creative" work which is not related to my job and doing these codings is my way to relax ;-)

What I meant is that isn't very inspiring to aspire too... Sorry... On the other hand, it's just lunch...

Well you guys have done it again....Excellent work Thomas and all of TICT!!!

joey:::

I have finished another puzzle game, but I need some crazy pictures for it!
Check our homepage (http://tict.ticalc.org) for more details.
I'm looking forward to your contributions ;-)

BTW: Does someone know how the real-world variant of this puzzle game is called in english? The real-world variant has numbers on its tiles (not part of an image).

Great Job TICT. The programs are really well done. I have yet to find a bug in the programs I have tried. (Chess, Mahjongg, Miner, LIDS, and Memory).

Something that would be useful in some the games (especially in Mahjongg) would be when you quit it saves the state of the board.

This feature (saving of board state) is scheduled for the next version.
Until now you will loose the board state when you quit the game, but you can turn off the calc from within the game to continue later with the actual game.
