Lol, I love the way you actually post news Michael unlike all the past news managers. I hope you dont overdue it after a while, unless it doesnt take much time to post new news. I have some news worthy of a post, and i sent an email a couple days ago so ill just post it here. http://www.radicalsoft.org/ a site your a member of, has released Chasm an oncalc asm compiler for the 83+.

Ahem, all of them???? Apparently you don't remember the good old days with nickd as news editor.

i remember nickd. he posted aLOT of news.

I like all the news items. It makes me visit TiCalc.org several times a week, instead of once a month. I like to be informed of stuff going on in the TI community and if any new cool stuff is avaliable for the calc. I don't want something going by and not knowing about it because the news person "Didn't want to clutter up the news page", y'know what I mean? You don't? Oh well...I do. :)

Several times a week?
Several times a day for me!

Ditto. Among many other sites (Yahoo! mail, for one), TICalc.org is one that I visit numerous times each day.

I visit ticalc.org, yahoo.com (mail), itsyourturn.com (games), and ccoderz.org multiple times a day... ticalc.org probably gets the most hits. I think I view it about 4-10 times a day. And now, since there's more and more articles, I think my viewing frequency might increase.

I can't believe how much news is getting posted! two between last yesterday and now! WOW!

It's definitely an improvement, wouldn't you agree?

why, yes I would.

Now all we need are the archives... are you allowed to work on the archives, MV? Of course, that's not your job, so we can't expect you to do that ;)

Now this is what i have been waiting for. Many months have passed since something truly interesting, like the release of "Gemini" on 83 plus, has happened. The concept of havening The Legend of Zelda : Links Awakening on Ti-83 plus is AWESOME. Hopefully the game will be finalized and completed, and a new chain of grayscale games will emerge. kick ass.

Nobody said anything about FINISHING it, it's just a demo for his greyscale engine...

Maybe, but there is a plan.txt file which says:

plan for FULL game:
- code 8000 bytes
- sprites 5000 bytes
- text 1000 bytes
- map 6000 bytes
- overworld 6x6: 2880 bytes
1st dungeon 4x4: 1280 bytes
2nd dungeon 4x4: 1280 bytes
rest 7 screens: 560 bytes

Sounds sorta planned out to me; maybe when he finishes perfecting his engine, he will make the full game since a certain other person *cough* SAM *cough* is taking forever to get his done. Although I do have to say that sam's is an all new original game, not a remake.

Sam who? Sam Heald?

yes...

Just how would one go about asking a question in the mailing lists? Do you have to subscribe to them first? (I know virtually nothing about them...)

See link. It would be nice to see some traffic on them.

Jamcalc.org is closing February 2

- A site renown for its excellent TI Basic tutorials and games - what a shame :(

Too bad :( Even though I never heard of it.

I did, it was a pretty good site. What happened?
