This does apply, see if you guys can help. I can program somewhat in .z80 ASM (For the 83+). Just today I found out the SDK is now free on TI's site. So, I downloaded it and it looks very helpful. Anyway, I still cannot find anywhere where it tells how to actually assemble an App. I get it into a .hex file, and then what... Oh, and the Wappsign program (For signing Apps) will not work. It doesn't auto detect the key, and even when I manually find it it doesn't work. If someone has answers to any or all of my questions, please post an answer or e-mail me. Thanks!

The darned WAPPSIGN has to be run from an admin account. NORMALLY. But you can bypass that.
Go to your SDK dir, and copy a folder called utils to your desktop. Run wappsign.exe from there instead.

Hmmmmmmm I should enter, but I'll be so busy this summer......maybe a remake of Chasm with bugs removed?

You should work on Chasm some more, it was a good app.

yes, but release it under your own name, not radicalsoft, since radicalsoft is dead.

I was attempting to revive it. I don't see why I can't release it under both.

Okay, I have the TI sdk, but I cannot find anything that actually tells me how to program the app. Do I simply write a C program and assemble it with the TI SDK, or is there more that I need to know?

-W-

This looks cool... I remember when they did this in the last two years. I doubt if I could make something good enough to win or anything, but I might do it for fun, anyway.
I'm about to download the SDK that they're talking about... is it as good as TIGCC?

I don't know about the SDK because it won't work on my computer (surprise, surprise), which makes me <me>really</me> mad.

I wish that I knew enough asm and had a big enough imagination to make an APP

Ah, but they said that the SDK uses C.

-W-

The 89/92+/V200 SDK uses C. The 73/83/83+ SDK uses ASM.

I realize this is a little off-topic, but it has to do with calculator programming, so it might be ok. Anyway, the Ti community is seriously lacking RTS games. There are more unfinished versions of Legend of Zelda than there are RTS games for any of the calculators, in any stage of completion! As far as I know, there are only 3 in existance or development: Command to Conquer, Total Destruction, and StarCraft 89. All are for the 68k calcs, which is understandable, if lamentable. However, it is obvious that more are needed. Here is why:

Command to Conquer - Pretty good gfx, nostub, good techtree. But: No linkplay, AI needs improvement, and work on it seems to have ended.

Total Destruction - Great unit animations, Good AI, Linkplay. But: Poor terrain/bldg graphics, needs kernel, techtree is terrible, and it is no longer updated.

StarCraft 89 - Looks promising, good gfx. But: Not close to done yet, may never be finished.

If there are any that I have missed, I would like some feedback. As it stands, we need more RTS goodness for the calc. Let's get to work!

I agree, there hasnt been much activity there, but where in the world can i find Total Destruction?
Ive been looking for awhile, and all i found was a screen shot on a french site
in fact i cant find many of the games on the url up on top, does anyone know where i can get them?

Yeah, I had trouble finding it, too. (I didn't even know what it was named!) Anyway, go to the URL above and scroll to the bottom of the page. The latest version I have found is Beta 0.7. Does anyone know if a newer version exists?

Right now there is only one programmer who is working on StarCraft 89 and three gfx converters. Just a cople of days ago we kind of posted a SOS for programmers. If you think you are good enough and are interested in devoting a sufficient amount of time to help us out with StarCraft 89, go ahead and talk to us on our forums at Calcgames.org.

I would enter the App Contest but I realy don't want to because of the slow speed that Apps run at. I really don't have any ideas either.

What if we are interested in programming SC89 and have semi-mad skillz, but are uncertain how much time we can devote to the project? Should we sign up or not?

I've been trying to learn C lately, but im not making much progress, so i have no real coding skillz, but on the other hand i have lots of free time, anything i can do to help speed along SC89?

Hmmm... Maybe one person with free time and one person with coding skillz is good enough. How 'bout I use all of your free time to work on SC89?

Click my link. It will take you to our site and your questions can be answered by Zkostik and Barret, they are in charge of everything. BTW, how can YOU use MY time? :)

that's one way I can use YOUR time for my own joy and entertainment... did you read it?

Yeah I read it. You just reminded me why I'm so angry at them, they still won't give us our link back.

Some people are doers, others aren't. I think I see where you fall.
