Will other stages of POTY voting be available after initial voting?

Yes. There is a news article about it.

Go Cabamap! Go!
Why don't updated programs get into the poll? ;-P *cough Omnicalc 1.24 MirageOS 1.2*

what IS cabamap????

Pretty much just an application with an RPN environment that can deal with REALLY big numbers...

I once got it so high that every time I multiplied it by 2, it took around 4 hours to complete... never could scroll all the way to the end of the number... gave up after 2 whole minutes...

(: :)

Remember: Holding [on] while scrolling a number in the stack causes it to use "turbo mode."

Woh... didn't know that.. Thanks!

Reading the manual helps. ;-)

I think he means:

Since there are so many programs to vote for in this one section is there going to be a second vote with some of the less worthy programs puled out?

My guess would be no, but it would be nice to be able to vote for more than one program :-/

Hm, I don't use my 83+ much anymore, but I liked Our World. But timerize was a close second. :-p

you better not be making fun of my program!

ah, if only it was asm. but, just wait. you'll see it improve in 2.6, coming out very soon- 3 clocks, and an improved layout.

We've been making fun of it a lot lately since this poll was put up.

If it wins, several of us are going to have to go kill ourselves. >.<

I mean, it's not that hard to make an analog clock in basic. Yes, if you want a fast one, then you need nice lookup tables and all, but even that isn't HARD, just TEDIOUS.

Well put. But we won't kill ourselves, instead the ticalc server will collaspe upon itself, and the timeline (no pun intended, or maybe it was) will change itself to make it that graphing calculators never exsisted. And then I might kill myself.

And yes, it's been the topic of a few jokes. :-)

I voted for the pinball game. But the rpgs were real close. CruncyOs right after the rpgs. And tomerize after that. Arg! Too many good programs too little memory...

Yeah, I voted for Acelgoyobis too.

What does Acelygobis mean though?

Read the readme.

It means "steel ball" in Hungarian.

No, it only resembles a word with that meaning.

I'll rephraise, then. It resembles a word that means 'little steel ball' in Hungarian.

Is it pronounced "Atch Uhl Goy O Bis," "Ass Uhl Goy O Bis" or some other way?

Since it's not a real word, you can pronounce it as you wish. FYI, the original 'acélgolyóbis' would be ["Qtse:l%gojo:biS] (SAMPA notation -- see link).

Acelgoyobis is definately the best

yep definitely the best
though i think that TVF was a close second w/CrunchyOS right after

I dunno, for some reason I wasn't impressed by TVF. I had problems with the leveling and combat. It seemed like it was okay but needed more work. And then I gained a level and killed the final boss incredibly easily. Balance problems maybe?

The pinball game was incredible, though. Wow, I'm glad I finally downloaded it.

Yes, I have to agree. Although TVF has some nice graphics, The gameplay is "pokemon"-like. I like the pinball game.

...seems like EVERYONE likes the pinball game...

It's PINBALL!!!!!

I seriously don't understand what is so good about Timerize. No offense to the programmer, but it's not exactly very hard to make. Especially since it's in BASIC.

It was innovative, the first program like that.

Clarification: The first program like that that the author felt like posting because they either thought they were up to the ridicule or was oblivious to the fact that there would be ridicule.

It was actually featured because it was the only program that works on the 84's and not the 83's. It was featured to show a point that the 83 and 84 archives should have been rejoined. So the program itself was not featured, at least, not directly, in the true sense of being "featured."

According to the unwritten rules of how a program is featured, it followed the rules just like any other program.

CrunchyOS has been in beta for a while though...

Harvest Moon Rocks All!!!!

HM is aight, but the best game is tiny car! bettah recognize mah homies.

Oops wrong reply link...
Ohh well...

No, I think he (she?) new what he was doing. Exbzurg does mention that he (she?) would have voted for CrunchyOS after Acelgoyobis and RPGs.
