Deep Thought, from our programming team, has recently released PapiJump for the TI-83 Plus. Written in Axe, his port of the iPhone game features grayscale, parralax scrolling and physics.

You can download it at ticalc.org (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/435/43518.html). Discussion can be found in this topic (http://ourl.ca/8177/170649;topicseen#new).
However, he is not the only one to have been working on a PapiJump clone lately. One of our more recent forum member, Mohammad, has just released a new version of his Doodle Jump game and it seems like he might add more features in the future. His version focuses more on power-ups and fast-pacedness:

Yes i plan on making it much much better :)
push the limit. its already so big that i have to archive the source to make the app ;)
and also: adding new powerups is very easy the way i organized my code (the real hard part is scrolling all the way down lol) so as of nowi could add pretty much any powerup i want. so please suggest some to me :)
-
Cool to hear. And yeah at one point it gets hard to work on stuff. When I worked on Illusiat 13: The Final Chapter, to debug events I had to unarchive the original source file (Goto didn't work because it opened the temp RAM copy), edit code, archive, then try again. Each event program were 15 KB in size and if I remember, there were 3 when I stopped working on the game.
I'm glad to see you found a way to make power-up addition easy. :)

i like how development follows such pronounced trends here at nomnimaga, with all the games of a certain type coming out at once =D
these both look cool, and i agree about powerups.
-
Maybe we could add a little bit of competition here and vote on the best game once both are released

Well actually versions of Doodle Jump have been coming out for a while, but I wanted to wait until the next one to post a news, and it happened at the same time as PapiJump, although PapiJump was released a few days ago.
Not sure about competition, though, since both games are great.

lol i would so lose if their was a competition! That papijump grayscale and physics are untouchable by my no gravity jumping lol!

Also, power up adding is easy. each powerup takes up only 1-2 variable (true/false and magnitude) and then i need to go to collision detection code and add like a couple lines for each powerup, and then go to the frame update(dispgraph) and add a Pt-on(Pic... thing so it displays the powerup...sounds complicated but only 3 main parts ;)

Good Axe Parser games just keep coming out. Completely rivalling assembly. =D

Thanks! :) Your Doodle game is pretty awesome too. Especially the powerups you have.
I might eventually add the FALL and ENEMY levels to my game. Not sure how they work, though, since they don't appear to be in the free version.

Cool game! :)

Heya goldenarrow45 and welcome here. :)

DEEP THOUGHT, This looks epic, fantastic!

What about Mohammad? D:
I think both looks great. I like the graphics in the first one better, but I like the features in the 2nd one a lot. :D
-
should i upload my app to ticalc?
-
Of course :D. By the way I found no bug so far, it seems. When you reach 100 posts you can even put it in the downloads section here too (although it must be inside a zip file).
If you have a readme you can also put a link to the discussion topic if you want users to get more updates on progress.
-
@Mohammad you should add acceleration going downwards :) Looks great
-

Make sure you sign it/take care of everything when you upload it :) I've had bad experiences with uploading files that didn't work, again and again.
-
cool..im inches from a release...well..weeks but after i release it ill upload to more sites ;)
cool to hear no bugs were found...however i found one and i may keep it as a cheating method...if you run off the side of the screen with a spring feet without showing up on other side, doodler keeps on jumping until of course you run out of spring...this one has always been there ever since i make springs lol
@Mohammad you should add acceleration going downwards :) Looks great
i wlready discissued that and its not really possible for me to do this the way i coded everything :( sorry...however, the jumping in the menu has gravity! lol
also, its hard enough to land on a moving platform with a tiny screen, going down faster would make it even harder, not to mention multitasking like shooting aliens and jumping would become impossibly hard :crazy:
I still need to sign the application. someone needs to help on doing that please :) ty

for signing, Axe comes with a folder labeled "Application Signing." Inside there's a file that'a named "Drag App Over Me". Drag the app over it. (Make everything in the folder is extracted first though and not still in the zip archive)

Doodle Jump in my TI? Finally Math classes aren't boring :thumbsup:

A friendly piece of advice: before you post, please check the date of the last post. if it's more than several weeks, it's called a necropost and is not very polite :P
However, welcome to omni ;D
and I feel the same way... papijump=great

Seems like the accelerometer idea isn't completely dead yet. Someone just emailed me asking for the source so he can work on one :w00t:
-
Do you mean that thing in Mohammad PapiJump game that lets you jump much higher?

An accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration.
-
Ah ok but in the game what would it be for? Do you mean that thing that displays at how many miles per hour you move?
-
I mean a device that you can attach to your calculator to detect if it tilts left or right, like on the iPhone, like with Happybobjr's suggestion here (http://omniurl.tk/5580/95384/).
-
Oh ok. Hmm that might not be popular, though, since not everyone may want to buy extra hardware to play calc games.
-
It'd be cool though :D
