Congradulations to Mr. Mårdell. Personally, I am a slow worker, finishing class tests and programs with taking all the time that I am given. To be able to crack programming puzzles not only under pressure, but also in a limited amount of time takes much mind strength and dexterity.

I wish I would have had the chance to become one of the great ones... Maybe I would be able to buy a faster-than-1GHz machine... But of course, we know that this is not about the money. We all know that it is for the advancement of the TI Society, with maybe a little 10,000-dollar reward in the way. Just look at TICALC.ORG: we create programs, waste our time, upload them, and watch the little number on our account move up by people who we don't know downloading our creations. And, we do it without thought of a greater reward than being mentioned on the front page of TICALC for a week or so.

Congradulations, Mr. Mårdell.

>>watch the little number on our account move up by people who we don't know downloading our creations

lol, you've got it!

That's a good portion of my life......

By the way, I know that there is a TI-stat program available, but is it possible to get the number from your user profile and stick it on your website?

You must be talking about the ti-report, it is a perl script so it must be easy to use it at your web site, if you want help contact the author at roac@pandora.be, he should be happy to help you

tisk-tisk
It really wouldn't be that hard... if you're running a Windows server :p (boo) {HISS}

It might be a little awkward with a unix/linux server tho. just a little, nothing that 5 minutes couldnt fix.

and you would need perl support... hypermart worked for me.

Amazing...
Big congratulations! 8-bits coders rule (ok 16-bits too, but not as much). :)

8 bits-PIC! AVR! MSP430! You're definitely right about that. Oh, wait, MSP430's 16-bit :-[...

Wow. Way to go Jimmy!

Thank you everyone!

yes... very good job!

Great job!!! BTW, I REALLY like ZTetris and Sqrxz. ZTetris is on my calc right now, and I don't think I'm ever going to delete it.

You know, I think you have something brown on your nose.

There's nothing wrong with telling someone that you like their programs!!! >:O

Yes, but there is overkill, aka, brown nosing

But in this case, would you really concider it brown nosing? I mean, it is not like he went on for half a page or anyhting. He simply stated that he liked ZTetris and that other program that I know nothing about.

-Ooooh, I found more two cent pieces, I am W-

I wasn't going to "concider" it brown nosing until he said 'and I don't think I'm ever going to delete it'. That is brown nosing.

Yeah, what he said.

But is there really a reason to delete it? More to the point: If he is a tetris Addict, then there is no reason for him to delete it, no matter how crappy or good. "To phrase it a different way, if we were meant to be monogamous, why weren't we born already married?"

-W-

*Totally avoid your argument*

We've blown this out of proportion. We must be bored.

True dat, true dat......

-W-

because we aren't developed at birth enough to stay loyal, recognize the partner, or even reap any benefits of the marriage whatsoever, making it practical to instantly cut it off. What are you trying to say?!

Exactly what I said. But if you look closly, you will se that it has quotes around it, indicating that it is a quote. Therefroe, I am not the one who said it. It was originally the guy from VCPR (GTA Vice City Public Radio) Maurice Chauves. It is really funny. If you have not heard it and have a cabel modem, you should download it. It is like 200+MB.

-W-

1. It's true.
2. I didn't mean it to sound that way, and I didn't have time to think about the possible implications.

Relax, you know were just giving you a hard time...

Quick question that I can find out for myself, which calc did he write ZTETRIS for? z80, or 68k? just curious.

-W-

z80

Ah, I still have on of those. Now all I need to do is put the OS back on it, and get the program from one of the many kids I gave it to at school.

-W-

I am addicted to ZTetris - my high score (on an 86) is 42541. It is the only program that I wish would run on my TI-81 that does not (off topic, but does anyone know of a way to run user machine language on the TI-81?).

I know you probably know this, but I would approximate that ZTetris is on 80% of TI z80 calculators out there. Even those who don't know how to transfer programs and such between their calcs have it, thanks to us ticalc.org members or course. Anyway that is just un-believable. Congrats, great job and thanks for paying ticalc.org a visit!

I very rarely have zTris on my calc. Namely 'cos I don't have the time to play many games. I still like to program 'em though :)
