linking issues
« on: January 17, 2011, 08:40:48 pm »
Ok, so i was playing one of my two player games at school.  Worked great.
Came home. played again. FULL OF ERRORS ??? ?? (linking)

I garbage collected and reset ram with no avail.
Is the cable going bad after 2 months?

Never mind.  My batteries were very old (5 days) and the calc didn't tell me yet

Now, I use my calculator quite a bit, but 5 days seems a bit outrageous.  I get 4 or 5 hours of use a day for several months.

Yikes. 5 days = old? That's WAY to much time on your calc. Or really crappy batteries. What batteries do you use?

Kodak
Zinc Chloride Battery AAA 1.5V
Extra Heavy Duty  :P


A couple of notes:
* Since linking hasn't worked for me yes, I use full speed mode in my progs. (and turn it to normal during send( and Get)
* Every day for an hour, kids in health class play calc of duty on my calc.    (Calc's make kids popular)
* I probably could of gotten many more days out of the batteries.  They were just low enough to really mess up linking.
* Linking probably takes a little more power too, but i wouldn't know.

Woah 5 days? O.O Even with the worst batteries ever, despite coding 10 hours a day every day in 2002, it still took me at least 10 days before I start getting low battery messages, and that was with a garbage collect every 5 minute or so.

I think i read about it elsewhere. I guess it's a 2D game based on Call of Duty story.

Wow. Scary. I would never trust anybody with my calc for that long (except my friend Steven, maybe).

Yeah, I feel that the current linking routine is a little too sensitive.  I've heard other reports that the linking doesn't work well between different calc models either.  If anyone else can design a better routine, that would be really nice.  I don't have any other calculators to test it on, so I really can't design a fast routine myself without the hardware.

I am always open for testing between a ti-nspire and an 84+SE.
During school days I can also test with an 84+ and 83+.

Since I've found my 83+, and I own 3 cables, I could test between an 83+ and 84+ SE.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.
