this game is awesome. it will definately keep you "bussy" in school. especially if you are taking the SAT tests and you finish a long time before everyone else cause they are all stupid. btw, the A lisense is pretty hard to get, but i got it :D

Ha! This news item was removed! How embarassing.

So how exactly is this news? Gran Tourismo has been out for ages... It's been a great game since about version 0.2. This news post makes it look like its something new and spectacular.

That's what I thought.

We had a few problems with the game and we realize that it was added a while ago. I am not going to say what the probelms were, so don't ask.

Just think of it like this, it is the first time v0.56 as been released.

Well, it works now :)

I think they meant something about it being inappropriate or something... but then they wouldn't have uploaded it... oh I don't know :)

Oh... I read through the history list of the game and found the "problem" Oh well :(

Hey, on VTI, it's impossible, VTI doesn't handle the time correctly, so it's impossible to get your license :( I NEED MY REAL 98-IT TO PLAY IT! AARRRGGGGG!!!

Didn't they alerady have a news item for this game before? I vaguely remember seeing it and thinking, "this game has been out a while, why now?"

-W-

Great game! I've downloaded it to my TI-92 Plus and forsee myself playing it during Electronics class. =)

Completely off topic, anyone else here remember opensource.calc.org? I'm trying to find a copy of the site, but as close as I can get is with archive.org, but that didn't follow the src.php?bla links. =(

This game looks awesome...

I wish I had a TI-89

Looks really neat! now all we need are a bunch of porters to port every single game in the 89 list to the 83p list!

(of course, it'd take too much work, so i doubt anyone will take up that challenge)

That's crazy ;-)

C'mon, be sensible.

That'll probably be accomplished in a few short centuries. :)
All these new games are making me want to get an 89 ... trying ... to ... stick ... to ... 86. Actually, I'd have to give a bit of justification to my parents as to why I would want an 89, especially since my 86 is working perfectly (and the games excuse won't work).

yep bought an 89 today time to go have fun testing stuffs

For some reason, in v. 55, it would always exit after 9 seconds...

It looks great. I hope it is bugless...

Out of curiousity, am I the only berson here who is a member of the www.comp2realm.com forums?

This update was to fix a bug in the previous version, so it should be bugless.

What was the bug? (just out of curiosity)

yay gran turismo this is a good game on console havent tried it yet on handheld calc. keep up good work

that would be "Tourismo"

Did he name it that to avoid copyright legal stuff, or was it always "tourismo"?

he id it to avoid copyright, i think it said that in the release before v0.56. He had the GT logo too, but he changed that...

I just looked at the history list... that's what happened. Did they complain about it, or did he just feel it would be better not to use the copyrighted name? What about tetris and all those other clones?

Worse than copyright...it's trademarked.

Did he get in trouble for it by the company that makes the game?

He might have, or maybe he did it just to be on the safe side. I remember a while back that Kirk Meyer was forced by Parker Brothers to stop development of his Monopoly game because of trademark infringement or something.

Wait, we can't make Monopoly games? Aww man, I already started one for the TI 89.

<shh> They won't know :)


Hey, wait a second... why not? Palm did it... my friend has Monopoly for his palm pilot... and Chickendude is making a monopoly game... Whaaaa??

Well, I'm going to make it in C for the TI 89. How do I make it so it can be run on the TI 92 and Voyage 200 and Voyage 400 (j/k about 400)?

When you make a new C source file it will ask you which calcs you want to develope it for. Select all three.

I'm assuming this is in TIGCC. Thanks!

Yes, and you'll need to adjust the screen resolution and the rowread keys accordingly.

Also be sure to make the 'Lock' key the selection key instead of the '2nd' key.

yes you could make a monopoly game or any other copyrighted game you want. All you have to do is pay the owner royalties. Which means that you have to charge for the game to make up for it.

Oh, so is that why Grand tOurismo had its name changed? He didn't want to charge money for it? (Good move)

hey, the copyright for monopoly ran out, so we can get all the monopoly we can make! (copyright running out is why there are so many goddamn monoply versions)

chickendude is working on monopoly at greenlight.

Yep... has he made any further work on it since I last looked?

i haven't really paid attention to it.

Come to think of it, he hasn't really shown up here in a while. I wonder where he went?

wow it looks like there are alot of "Re:"s
