After many years of wait, Chips Challenge is finally arriving on the TI-83+ series of calculators!
Chip's Challenge for TI-83+ is a clone of the famous puzzle game of the same name on the Atari Lynx and PC, the first ever for TI. This is also the first game for the TI-83+ series to have 8-level greyscale graphics! Included are all 149 levels from the PC version of the game. But enough about that - perhaps you're wondering what this game is all about. "Nerdy" Chip McCallahan is trying to join an exclusive computer club called the Bit Busters, but first he must pass the initiation. Chip has to find his way through a magical clubhouse, which is full of obstacles and tools like teleporters, invisible walls, pushable blocks, force floors, water traps, locked doors, and plenty of monsters. This game will supply hours and hours of nasty puzzle fun!
Since this application is massive (about 131 KB on calc), smaller level packs versions of the game were included with the game as well for those who need a lot of space for other stuff.

Game download is avaliable in the download section here (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=456)!
On a unrelated note, we also added TI-Boy SE GB emulator to the download section, but the download link will redirect to the ticalc.org file info page as it is updated regulary.

Wow. This is incredible calc84maniac!
At this rate, you might be competing against 2-3 other projects of yours in POTY ;D

omgomgomgomgomg
damn, have to wait a while to transfer it (only can do on other PC)
I'll get it like tommorow or something tho
Awesomeness :D
-
yay now to find my new batteries they died again :(
-
I know I'll be carrying my calc around with me everywhere I go like the good old days again :D
Epic win!
-
After playing some more, I think some of the tiles are a little too bright. In some places it's hard to differentiate the movable blocks from the floor.
-
*drools* i cant stop playing x.x
literally, im taking a (small) break from piworld just to play this, its epic
i give it a rating of 9001/10
wonderfully done :D
-
Shoot... I am playing both Chips and Illusiat 13 at the same time... No time to code TLM lol
I, just like miotatsu, am taking a *short* break from coding...
-
as long as you don't discontinue the projects :(
(and backup)
-
I don't want to do this but
yeah, it's me again, with bad news x.x
I just installed Chip, saw the spash image, and,
the game is messed :/
the screen moves vertically, so what dissapears at the bottom appears again at the top if you know what I mean.
Sorry for the bad news, I hope it doens't happen on all the calcs of my series :/

nope, I always have it on my calc, just in case, and it has no effect on it :/

Have you run it recently though? A RAM clear or maybe another program could have messed with it (the TI-Boy patch comes to mind here :P)
-
hmmm i had the same problem with a 83+ that i transfered it (from my calc to another kids) we just deleted it cause we didnt know what to do 0.0
-
i transferred it to ti 83+ to my friend in school, and it worked fine... Could it be another hardware change through the different versions? (i mean like ti boy).
btw my friend has a pretty old calc, although he has latest OS patch (1.03 i think or whatever latest OS it is on TI 83+). And he got the full version of chip, not the divided one, because he only has omnicalc in the calc (he said he wanted to type in lowercase letter)

Yeah, they started making the LCD more cheaply so it responds slower. Maybe I should add in some more delays (though I'm not sure if the speed loss would be worth it)
-
Calc84maniac, the ALCDFix is unfortunately just for 84+ calcs. I have no clue if a fix for regular 83+ calcs was ever made. You would need to ask on Revsoft or United-TI. Some 83+s got broken LCD drivers
-
well I am using 84+ R and ALCDFIX doesnt affect the screen-mess I'm afraid
Some or what I hope I'll be the only one having this prob.

Congrats on the feature on ticalc Calc84 :D
-
yh, grats Calc84 :D
-
Thanks! ;D
-
I'm addicted as well ;D bean playing it a lot lately. I can't believe there are so many Levels! :O And i did notice some interesting instructions, like when it suggests pressing ctrl-r to restart ;)
And congratulations on the feature!
-
damnit, I can't properly play it cz of the screen bug, but I played like 3 levels and it was uber-addicting D:
-
congrats Calc84!
