Title: A Second Set of Three!
Post by: apcalc on April 22, 2011, 11:35:32 pm
In previous news (http://ourl.ca/10461) we announced the development of three new Lua games for the Nspire:  15 Puzzle, Block Dude, and 9sweeper.

Now, we have yet another set of three new games!

First, ingalls has posted a demo of his game nFighter (http://ourl.ca/10572/201543)!

Here is a screenshot of it in action:

Secondly, noticing that there were no tunnel games for the Nspire, I whipped up a quick one in Lua (which can be downloaded here, ticalc, or TI-Bank):

Finally, TI-Bank member Spirikoi has released a two player Connect 4 game on TI-Bank (http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=archives&ac=voir&id=3247)

We wish the above developers good luck in their projects! :)

Now, we will be in need of a third set of three games! :P

This looks nice. For some reasons the Tunnel game seems to flicker a lot, though. ???

Also are you planning to put your new stuff in the downloads section too? (staff section)

I hope people make more games in Lua to show the language potential. (hoping TI won't restrict its access in newer OSes)

It is supposed to do that. :P

The true effect comes when you play in color!  As I said in IRC, I should call it "Psychedelic Tunnel"! :P

oh actually nevermind, I just read IRC now. :P I had Omnom disabled so it took me a while to see it.

I will be releasing a snake game soon. I just want to see if I can add high scores to it.

I think he meant the Student software.

EDIT: Don't try the tunnel game in the student software! O.O It looks like this, but runs about 3.5 times faster! O.O

Woah! Lua is starting to get really popular among the community programmers. Niice!

Wow, Lua does seem to be a nice new avenue for people to program in. So:
Con: 3.0 basically screws up your calc
Pro: We discovered Lua.

Yep, that balances out quit nicely.

That tunnel game should have a warning about seizures.

Like it! I'll try the connect 4 game and maybe make it multilanguage....

Lol yeah the TUnnel game is kinda seizure inducing, especially on the student software, which runs much faster. That said I doubt it will be too bad on a real calc, though, because on my Prizm I recall trying a program once that flashed between colors and it was not too bad.
