fun, don't you agree?

yup

Yes, an excellent game!

I have been a BigDyna fan for quite a while (when it didn't work on the new AMS, I immediately switched back to the old). BomberMaze goes beyond BigDyna, it even has animated blocks to blow up! It's definitely a new favorite for me.

Yeah !
Thanks for the news ;)

Post more games please:)

How come yall never post screenshots anymore?

Heck all you have to do is drag it onto VTI, right click and hit screenshot.

I am planning to buy a TI-89, and I was wondering about the quality of its LCD screen. Do the pixels have gaps between them? Also are the buttons 'soft touch' or are they like the TI-86's buttons that don't feel very good when you press them. By the way, I live in New Zealand and down here, you can't get TI-89s from a shop so I will have to maill order it... Thats why I need help!

w-w-w-.-t-i-.c-o-m-/c-a-l-c all the info is there.

hey, I am not dense!
You can't get that kind of info at TI's site! You can't push the calcs buttons online can you? :)

>I am planning to buy a TI-89, and I was wondering about the quality of its LCD screen. Do the pixels have gaps between them?
-No

>Also are the buttons 'soft touch' or are they like the TI-86's buttons that don't feel very good when you press them.
-I really like them. Of course, I didn't mind the 86 at all either. There isn't much resistance when you hit the keys on the 89; just enough to make it a little harder to hit the wrong key.

>By the way, I live in New Zealand and down here, you can't get TI-89s from a shop so I will have to maill order it... Thats why I need help!
-Just Curious:How much does it cost to buy a TI-89 and ship it there? Is it much more then in the United States?

Well, I am getting mine from www.globalproducts.com, the cost of the calculator is US$135 and it costs US$20 to ship to New Zealand. So it would cost me about $310 New Zealand dollars. I am going to do computer systems engineering, so I need a good calculator to last me through the four years. Don't plan on using it at school though, it's banned!

The 89 does not have spaces between the pixels and has perfect buttons.
I would recommend it that you got one!
(it may cost more to ship it, but still, its well worth it)
...I have one, and would've spent even $200 for it if i had to =-)

Yeap... You have to buy this kind of calculator. 89 is a lot more better than other kind of calculator even the incoming TI-83 plus silver edition.

And the best way to get a TI-89 is EBAY, where I get mine two weeks ago.

Thanks for the replies guys:). Isn't this site just great for getting answers. I will have to agree with you about the TI-83plus SE. I have a TI-86 at the moment and I think it needs an upgrade more than the 83.

I love calc games. Don't you?

This isn't related to BomberMaze (which I think is very cool, though), but is it just me, or does ticalc seem to be getting really lazy lately? There aren't any new screenshots being added, and sometimes file updates are a week or more apart. What's going on?

Ticalc.org is a fairly large site to keep running. I myself wonder where they got those funds. But still there is a lot to keep up with.

Funds? Er, what funds?

Hehe, if anyone has been getting money to update this site, he hasn't told ME about it. ;)

We're all volunteers--none of us make any money for this, and ticalc.org does not receive any money to help with the operations, either.

who cares

Speaking of not on the subject (although I already have downloaded, installed, and played the games several times) I have a TI89 basic programming question. Whenever I try ti run this program I'm writing I get an error that says "Missing of start or end of block syntax". Being completly new to the TI89 scene (I only know TI83+ basic) I have no idea what this means. It keeps bringing me to the EndPrgm command if that helps. Thanks for any help and to ticalc.org if they don't delete my message.

P.S. Great program. I started with bigdyna, then switched to bomberman89 and now I'm trading that for this program. I like it over bomb89 because the levels are more random compared to bomb89's checkerboard like layout.

that means that u have a "if/for/loop/etc" loop that u didn't finish. for every if, there needs to be an endif, and every for, there has to be an endfor, and etc.

ALSO

it could be that you have an extra EndIf, EndFor without a If,For etc.

Part of my program goes
If A=1:Goto A
If A=2:Goto B
goes on until
If A=9:Goto I
EndIf

Everytime I try to run it, it takes me to the end of EndIf with that message. I don't have to have multiple EndIf's do I? And I don't have any If's, For's or While's or anyting like that before it. Thanks for your help and any more anyone can give me.

Scharp

try instead of doing all the endifs, doing:

if a==1, goto 1
else if a==2..... etc.

For If statements follow these rules:

If COND:<do a one line statement>

If COND
<do a one line statement>

If COND
Then
<do as many lines as you want>
Else
<optional, do as many lines as you want>
Endif

in this situation you don't need and "endif." if you were to have a "then" in your programing, then you need an "endif."

i think ;}

could be wrong though, try it and see what happens

It's probably just because it's a big site and there's lots of time consuming stuff to do for it. There's no commercial incentive for them to keep doing what they do, so they only run the site because they enjoy running it. Being that as it is, they have no responsibility to always provide frequent updates or anything at all, but they usually put a lot of effort into the site, and I'm happy of that.

......finally,
someone who ACTUALLY does this just for the fun of it(like me :D )
I even have a hard time mainaining my site with all my projects, and i dont even post programs on my site(i want to, but theres no chance on earth i could have time).
I'd be more understanding... I mean, they try their best. Besides, i dont think they would intesionally delay on posting programs =-)

Yeah, my site is pretty time consuming as well, but I enjoy it. It's kind of interesting trying to keep up with message board posts, updating the program archive, working on a TI-89 FAQ, working on setting up a new forum, writing a TI-89 Basic programming tutorial, working on implementing SlashCode, and checking up on its search engine and directory placements all at the same time, all while being very busy with my normal activities such as school. =-) It's fun, though, and I'm especially happy with the result.

Ever since Nick D left, this place has gotten kinda dull.

the sites still hear isn't it?

thanks, guys, for keeping this site up. it's the best calc site i've ever found

dont forget that TICALC.ORG has been up for over 4 years and i wouldnt blame them for getting a bit lazy..
