A82: Re: ASM High Score Archives??
This would be neat, although there is no way to 
keep people from cheating.
 
I had an idea along the same lines as this.  Create a 
high-score program for each calc that would store a database of high scores for 
each game on the calc.  A game would update this database whenever a new 
highscore had been set.  It would be sort of like the much-hated libraries 
supported by some shells for the 85.  The main feature of this program is 
that it would link to another calc, possibly a different type of calc (ex. 86 
<-> 82), and update both calcs with the highest scores for all 
games.
 
I'm well aware that no one will want to program or use this, 
but it's a neat idea none-the-less.  Also, it might work better on calcs 
that have one shell that must be used, such as Usgard or CrASH.  It could 
be built into the shell, so the score calls would always be in the same 
place.
 
I am willing to help (design or coding) if 
someone actually wants to write this.
    
    Why doesn't ticalc.org 
    or TI-files or some other place put up a ASM High Score Archive, where 
    people can submit the program with their high score in it.  Has this 
    already been done, and I just overlooked it?
