Title: Drifter
Post by: ztrumpet on November 11, 2009, 07:59:45 pm
Here is my program Drifter.

The begining of the read-me:
Drifter is a game in which you slide untill you hit an object.
There are many pieces that you will come in contact with that change the direction you're going.
Collect all the +s and/or numbers 1-9 then reach the flag to win.
Drifter includes 16 levels and a custom level editor for endless hours of fun.

Enjoy! This is my first released game, and I enjoy listening to what people say, so make sure to download and write a comment. :)

I didn't try it yet, but I liked the concept, I'll be sure to give it a try at one point. I also like how you got a level editor too. It should extend gameplay even more :)

Well since it's the main TI game download site it might be a good idea, altough again, not everyone has their games there. I myself no longer have a Ticalc profile, and even when I had one, Illusiat series were all in one single file rather than each games separated

It's just, on Ticalc, your game will be visible for some days on the homepage, therefore it'll be viewed and noticed by a large croud, therefore someone might review it, therefore it gets some publicity, therefore people will know your name if you make some other good games ^^

You could type it all out if you really wanted...

Oh god, that would be horrible x.x And then you would have to deal with all the little errors you would invariably introduce :P

I did that with some ASM libs, back when I worked on ROL3. Let me tell you it takes quite a while to type 1600 HEX characters x.x (before doing Asmcomp(prgmNAME1,prgmNAME2, the program is 2x larger). Back in the days, there was an online tool to disassemble 83+ ASM programs into HEX code and you could copy the code into your calc by hand. Pretty useful for those with no link cable (or computer with calc linking ability) who still wants to play some small ASM games or who absolutely need an ASM lib. Very easy to do mistakes, though.

I could copy it but doing that would take much much to long i think i will just wait for another snow day and shovel driveways

Thanks. As to typing it directly, I'd estimate 25,000 perfect keystrokes.  Good luck. :)

I uploaded it to Ticalc today.  Let's see how long it takes them to put it up there.

Nice. Generally, since allynfolksjr and TravisE got hired at Ticalc.org as archivers, they tend to update the archives more quickly. It used to be a few hours to a day. Now it is usually one or two days of wait since they also do news editing too, now.

Reviews takes ages to process, though, because I reviewed F-Zero 68K a week or two ago and it is still not even up :(
