This is a ti basic game similar to escape (one of the axe contest programs), which the object of the game is to escape from one prison cell to another, by beating the puzzles found in that room. You can move the big N blocks, and the black = blocks are solid/stationary, and you can push the N blocks into 0 blocks (holes) to fill the holes up. Notice these are the easiest levels (don't want to give solutions away), and so far I only have the first 10 levels with more to come in the upcoming week. It gets pretty challenging.
-
Interesting, I like that type of games. Is that a TI-84 Plus screenshot by the way? SOme of those puzzles looks pretty fun :)
-
That's awesome! I think I'll have some fun with this game. ^-^
-

Well if you count the Ti-84+se.
Here is a screenshot teaser for levels 5-10.

-
wow, that looks good. Levels are definitely better than mine. :P
-
Hey, Thanks yunhua. I was going to make the button to open/close doors but it made walking a bit to lagged.
-
I'm programming very much in basic, and this is impossible to make in Basic.
You have used xLib, right?
(only with xLib ou can use the inverted "=" and a few other things like the "<" and the ">")
I think the text atr the beginning is graphics and the game is with Output, or?
But it looks really very good!!

you can use the alt characters by using hex or an asm program, store them into a string, and recall the string into the program. So he probably didn't use xLib. ;)
-
No this is completely in ti-basic no x-lib allowed. The characters come from KermM's DOCDE7 program which I made a string of all the characters, then I tokenized it into a program which thus gave me the string of all characters. Also the maps are all made out of strings and the detection uses mainly the sub( command. Looks like I have been ninja'd
-
heh, I was wondering why sub( would be needed for detection before I remembered this was in BASIC. How big is the program?
-
Ah
so you saved the lines (1-8) as strings and then use Output to show the person
If you use other extern programs, it's possible of cause!
But in real basic, you can't use these characters!
(It would look better if you use another character for the person, not the "x")
-
Well including all of the maps (held in a subprogram) it is:6120
Levels:2467
Game: 3653
I haven't optimized yet so it will be smaller before final releases.
P2:
Actually I have each map held in str 1, and when encountering a N block, cuts str1 up to N block-1 -> str0 then cuts str1 from N block+1 to length(str1) ->str1 flips the N block and the space and str0+"N "+str1 -> str1. If that makes any sense.
What character would look better?
-
Have you written it in a block or a single line for every command?
(In such a big program you can save 50 to 100 if you write it in a block. But then it'll be hard to read the code. And then it'll be very annoying if yo press CLEAR!!!)

well, he probably saved the entire map as strings, and he is using real basic. As long as he can recall the characters into the code, it displays it. TI just doesn't give us an easy way to access those characters, but they're still there.
They're ASCII characters, not sprites. ;)

Well I could but not untill I am done completly.
-
A little hint:
Go in MirageOS, press ALPHA,
choose KEY AND ...,
Choose LOWERCASE ON,
press CLEAR, CLEAR, MODE
then you'll be able to use lowercase if you press ALPHA twice!
-
Actually, also available through DoorsCS7 and x-lib (hex command) and axe parser. So I do have lowercase, and thinking they are each 2 bytes so I try to minimize use of lowercase.

If you do that, be careful with the Output and text command, to avoid things like
Text(0,0,"lol:1→A:Text(0,0,"A ←way you want it to be seen
Text(0,0,"lol:1→A:Text(0,0,"A ←way it is seen
(This will mess up because of the "→")
-
Wouldn't it take more memory to add all of those closing " ?
-
yes, so you should use separate lines.
its better for optimizations and readability.
-
I was planning on it anyways, That is not a way of the basic 1337 rules.
-
You can write it all in big blocks, but make it like this:
:Lbl A
:text(0,0,"Hayleia.orange"):Goto Aand not like this:
:Lbl A:text(...or like this:
:Lbl A
:text(0,0,("Hayleia.orange:Goto A
Always put every ) and " and always use a new line for a new Lbl

yeah, but that makes it more difficult for optimization. ;)
So I recommend just using separate lines.
-
yeah, of cause it will be diffivult.
I ever made it like this:
Write every command in a new line.
NEVER forget any ) or "
If all is ready, And you can't optimise the code more, write : at the end of every line and press DEL
Then it will all be a block without any mistakes!

I'm not asking how to write a block without mistakes, I meant why write a block at all?

You actually don't save memory if you write it in a block, you waste memory most of the time.
:Output(1,1,"HI
:Pause
^11 bytes
:Output(1,1,"HI"):Pause
^13 bytes
-
Blocking is good only for readability in most cases. Things like "A->B:B->C.." are the same size since a colon is the same size as a newline character. But when strings and parens are involved, screw the blocking, expand it out on multiple lines.
-
Well I don't have to worry about that, my calc is really messed up. :(
-
I'm really not sure, And I'm NOT telling yoou should do this, but maybe it would help to take out the backup-battery!
So you can't turn your TI on???
That's bad!!
-
I already pulled out the extra battery, I can turn it on but on the screen is some black lines every where, also none of the buttons work (meaning only way to turn it back off is to pull out a battery). Sorry I cannot be on irc chat, this computer I am on (at my grandma's) is so slow and won't let me.
-
Try to connect it with your computer (TI Connect) and look what TI Connect tells you to the TI
-
That the problem, ti-connect doesn't even register that I have my calculator on (with the crazy screen) and plugged in, so I can't do anything. :(
-
May you send it to TI and get a new one for it?
Can you please upload a video/a few photos of that?

We've had several people allege that their calcs have stopped working recently... x.x
A picture of the screen would be nice, yes. As for nothing working, not even the [ON] key works?
-
On is the only key that works.
-
YAY!!
one key is still working!!
Now, there are only 49 keys left, we'll have to repair!
may you upload a photo, or draw a picture how it looks like and upload this?
-
Drawing, maybe but using what program on computer?
-
Sorry to hear your projects are gone, but you really need to learn to backup next time.
-
I know,
may you upload a photo, or draw a picture how it looks like and upload this?
should I use paint, and save as a bitmap? so you can all see?
-
I guess you could do that. Make sure to resize the picture under 1000 pixels height/width, though, before putting it online.
-
I have an idea, but I doubt it will work. I could send the OS file to my casio prizm then try again and agin to get it to my ti-84se. Maybe???
Still I am mad :mad:
-
I doubt that would work. Sadly TI Connect is a PITA to get to work sometimes, so you might need to use TiLP instead or ask for help in the help section.
-
Try holding Clear as you put the battery back in after pulling one. You may need to press On as you do so. Let us know what happens. Then try again with Del instead of Clear.
-
Btw clear didn't work. But the delete thing worked, cleared the Os and allows for a Os update. But when I download a new Os to my calculator, it slowly counts up to 100% but when I turn it back on it is completely blank, nothing works once again. Except on (when it is off) and the only way to turn it off is to take out a battery. I don'y know what to do. *bang *bang *bang Ow that was my head. :mad:
-
Good new, I actually had backed up my stuff, I just found it all in some folders. So I have the dungeons game, not entirely updated but pretty close. :) Yay... except my calc is still garbage. But I do have my old trusty ti-84+ and my ti-83 I can use.
-
Make a photo of the calc with your sellphone on something else.
Maybe, I had something like that, too.
(I had every possible bug!!) ;)
-
Bad news, i don't have a camera or cell phone. It is just blank when on, you can tell it is on, but no cursor or any buttons work.
-
have you turned the contrast veeeeeeeeeeeeeery low?
have you a webcam?
-
No web cam, contrast is not low i can see the pixels (which are off) squares. Meaning it is on, but no avail. Also when i do the del+battery back in thing the contrast is normal when it says i can update the OS.
-
so it is possible to go to the screen, where it tells you that you should send a new OS?
That would be great!!
-
Well, after I take out a battery, and push del and put it back in. It says "Waiting... Please install operating system now", and I connect to ti-connect and that says "ti-84+se detected but couldn't get status" so then I send the Os to the calc, But then a popup comes on screen saying that there was a problem with the ti-connect, but the Os starts to send anyways, it really really slowly creeps to 100% (takes about 1/2 hour) and so the calc now has a new Os. But when I turn it on it looks like the picture below (it is on just nothing shows up) and none of the keys work.I know this picture is big but I will delete this post after (p2) sees it. The first one is the Os screen the second is what the calc screen looks like after an Os update.
-
make this:
send a new OS
pull out the battery at more than 1% (while sending)
then the OSwill be deleted!
Then send a new OS (It should work then)
(I know this because I had to make this two (or three?) times at my TI!) ;D
Don't delete the Post
-
Will it work if I am sending the Os from another calculator (another ti-84+se)?
-
NOt the most securised option...
-
While sending the OS from another calc isn't the common way of doing things like these, I don't see any reason for why it shouldn't work.
-
I hope your calc isn't defective Zeldaking x.x
I am glad you got other calcs, though.
