Title: POTY 2018 !
Post by: Xeda112358 on December 04, 2018, 11:37:42 am
TICalc.org's (https://www.ticalc.org/) Program Of The Year polls are open!
For the TI-83+/84+ category, it looks like a bunch of older projects split between two authors-- myself and squidgetx (https://www.omnimaga.org/profile/squidgetx/) (ticalc profile (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/104/10456.html)).

Up for the vote are the following programs (in the order listed on ticalc.org).

Batlib (https://www.omnimaga.org/batlib/batlib/msg333914/#msg333914) (ticalc link (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/435/43590.html))
Batlib is a huge library for BASIC programmers. It has 120+ functions mostly for graphics and string and data manipulation, list and matrix manipulation, compression, and much more.

CopyProg (https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/copyprog/msg372301/#msg372301) (ticalc link (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/450/45019.html))
This is a small program that allows users to copy variables from RAM or Archive to another variable. CopyProg2 has a few other features as well (like line reading and reading the names of the variables on your calc). It allows you to do things like copy an archived appvar to a temp program for execution ;)

Embers (https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/(contest)-embersphoenix/msg303523/#msg303523) (ticalc link (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/449/44960.html))
Embers is an ARPG that won Omnimaga Contest 2012 (https://www.omnimaga.org/news/omnimaga-programming-contest-2012-the-results/). This was a really well put together game. It features good graphics, good AI, and storyline.

FloatLib (https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/floatlib/msg406623/#msg406623) (ticalc link (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/470/47087.html))
Floatlib is an app that holds many single-precision float routines from addition to hyperbolic tangent. It comes with a built-in reference manual and there are some examples like computing the Mandelbrot Set.

Gravity Guy (https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/gravity-guy-12900/msg241437/#msg241437) (ticalc link (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/444/44447.html))
Gravity Guy is "a port/variation of the popular iphone/flash game" of the same name. You basically get to flip the direction of gravity to help navigate obstacles.

LblRW (https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/labelline-edit/msg325962/#msg325962) (ticalc link (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/470/47097.html))
LblRW is a small utility for BASIC programmers that lets you read or modify data within the BASIC program, using a label offset. That's a mouthful. Basically, "Hey, I want to store player data in my RPG, let's store it after Lbl PD." Or you can store monster data for quick access for example ;)
(no screenshot, sorry :( )


StickNinja (https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/stickninja-(contest-entry)/msg222699/#msg222699) (ticalc link (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/440/44085.html))
StickNinja was an Omnimaga Contest 2011 (https://www.omnimaga.org/news/omnimaga-contest-2011-part-1-results/) entry that earned 3rd place. It's basically a platformer with awesome Stick Figure and Ninja graphics. Collect coins, destroy enemies; It's got it all.

Could you add some screenshots to the post. Other than that it looks good to me.
