Almost always too low with me. I'll click on the link to one of my file info pages, and I'll almost always think "Darn! Only 3 downloads this week! etc." (except for once where my AllReg program got ~300 downloads in a week or two).

Well, I actually got more downloads than I had expected on some of my programs!!! All of my 83+ programs got uploaded while the statistics were down, so I hadn't seen how many downloads they had until now. My polynomial factorer had *283 total* in less than one month, and >100 in the past 7 days!!!!! Sorry, people, I'm a little excited here....

Yah, I downloaded that, It had a pretty good setup, unfortuanately I'm not doing polynomials right now, It would have been helpfull last year. lol.

Sorry :-[ I didn't have an '83+ until a few months ago. Glad that you liked it....

Why are there no download statistics for AppVars? And while I'm talking about AppVars, why do some calcs not have an AppVars directory? My TI-73 StudyCards AppVar is currently in the Flash directory. Mabye I would know this if I had a TI-73.

Everyone download Radial Pong!!

Yea! and while you are at it, check out www.puffy.tk! It is this really cool website I found! (OK, so it is actually a really stupid website I put together last night, but check it out anyway.)

Talk about easy traffic! Just ten minuets after I posted the above comment, someone looked at the website! WOW!

MWM (So what if I am being ridiculous!)

Ahh! You plug your website worse than I used to plug my games!

I guess I should stop. I am trying to get my brother to draw some with something to do with calculators; if he does I might mention something about it here...

MWM

Not a bad site... but please, for the love of God, change the font... Times New Roman looks so bland.

Bitch, I was talking about Radial Pong on ticalc.org so I get hits.

LOL!!!!! Hey, I've downloaded it. Does that make you feel better? :)

If I remember correctly, it was fun, and it was an interesting concept for a game, but it would run a LOT more smoothly if you used _rowread() (games go unbeliveably fast with _rowread()).

Unfortunately I lost the source code the program when my hardrive crashed, I've recieved many great ideas for improvements, but it would require completely rewriting the program.

Then rewrite it. It can only get better...

I suppose I could rewrite it, but I'm currently involved in two other projects. If I get a lot of interest, I suppose I would consider working on the program again (at least during an all night hack or something)

Right, but things like that take a heck of a long time, ya know? :(
Though, it always is easier the second time around... it's just depressing to have to rewrite code due to not saving or a crash, etc.

Yep rewriting code sucks, you also forget alot of the code cuz yor so shicked it was totally cleared

Usually, it comes back to me, but it's still a pain. I hate that. Unfortunately, it's happened to me multiple times. :'(

well, not only do you forget stuff, but you sporatically remember stuff, so it's hard to run through the code the same way the second time through, because you have to periodically move around to fix and update things you remember, so you end up leaving out some stuff here and there...
i remember one time having to rewrite about three pages of code for a class project (damn people and their incessent... taking of things such as my disk), and when i finally got back my disk and compared the code... aww man, about three sections were similar... though, the second version was MUCH better...

You could disassemble it (yes i no its still hard to read) but then you could add all the labels in and stuff, make it faster, have more features, etc

Well, the problem there would be that the program was made in C.

TIGCC still compiles to ASM, then compiles to machine code (I think).

I know. C->ASM->Machine Code. If you were to disassemble it, it would go to ASM. So, you still wouldn't have your code. The C code isn't remotely like the ASM code, and the disassembler certainly isn't going from ASM to C.

Hey, waita second, I might have the code on my hard drive. Hey! You didn't incluce the C file in with the program! Well, that doesn't help much, does it? LOL!

If I had included the source in the zip, then I wouldn't have this problem. BUt you people are seriously interested in this? I might want to put off my 3D Roller Coaster simulation if everyone's into this program.

Whoa-- 3D roller coaster simulation? Work on that... that sounds amazing. LOL Unless you're one of those special people who can work on more than one project at once... I've found that I can't.
I haven't quite got the 3D stuff to work for me. Heh, I was messing with *attmepted* 3D graphics in QB for some time. I eventually gave up when my cube wouldn't rotate in more than two directions. (grr)

You should get into the OpenGL API if you like 3D programming. It is a blast!

MWM

I love OpenGL. And yes, I am one of those special people that can work on multiple projects, and in different languages. I'm currently working on:
- A highly advanced graphics editor for Linux [possibly commercial] (Java based)
- 3D Roller Coaster Simulation (FLASH APP C)
- Radial Pong [I started last night] (TIGCC)
- Advanced Geometry "Sketchpad" program (TIGCC)
- And any programs for my Software Design class, which includes a visible representation of an assembly language interpreter (a computer)

DirectX is THE 3D API!
OK, it just works well in VB6 :)
If you see ^^my site^^, click on OpenWorld. That's In VB6 and DX8.

I don't know if anyone is still listening to this thread, but oh well. The 3D Roller Coaster Program (codename "Motion Sickness") and Radial Pong have had considerable amount of progress done on them. With Motion Sickness, the entire environment and 3D engine have been created. With radial pong, a complete menu system is done, as well as the first stages to the actual game (you can move a paddle around a circle).
