ASM / Z80 ASM tutorial (can't find it)
« on: September 25, 2011, 08:26:12 pm »
Hello, I was downloading and reading HotDog's  Z80 ASM tutorial for total beginners(I think that was the name  :banghead:) earlier today.  I closed the tab thinking I could just find it later, but I can't.  If anyone can point me to where that post is I would greatly appreciate it.

Art / Super Meat Boy for the Calc (possible?)
« on: September 22, 2011, 02:38:51 pm »
This is more of a thought than an ambition.  Wouldn't it be possible to make a Super Meat Boy for the calc with reasonable success?  Obviously sprites and tilesets would have to be significantly less detailed for most calcs.  I just thought it sounded like a fun idea maybe someone could turn into a project. Maybe it could be done with some of the physics based coding tools I've seen on here.  Meat Boy already is a cube so it wouldn't be to hard to just make him a square, atleast I wouldn't really care how detailed he'd be.  I just got to thinking that maybe you could replicate a game where you're able to sprint, jump off walls, and control your character mid flight.  Those features are a great combo.

TI Z80 / Metroid Ethos
« on: September 22, 2011, 12:44:49 pm »
I've been thinking, of taking my Metroid themed Adventurecraft map, and make a parallel of it, for the TI-84+(obviously i would want to make it a sidescroller)

My idea so far (atleast for Adventurecraft), is that you would play as a Galactic Federation Marine, on a planet outside of Federation jurisdiction.  The planet being Ethos, a planet harboring Space Pirate activity.  So far the idea is a desert planet hiding a volatile genre appropriate environment underneath the sands.  So far I've built a few Romanesque ruins and a semi aquatic area along with a work in progress Tourian-ish(no mother brain  :P) sector.  The pirates are seeking technology left by the extinct Ethos inhabitants(kinda cliche but gameplay will be adjusted to reflect the hero of the story).  I do want to include some metroids, but it would make most sense to make the planet a safe-haven for Pirate experiments(metroids :)) , rather then making the metroid a native species.  I think I can teach myself, the art of making sprites. One plus is that I don't have to worry about making the character look like samus so maybe I can make a somewhat convincing sprite at a scale appropriate for gameplay and also with the limited resolution.  If you guys have any doubts that I'm actually working on such a project, I'll be sure to upload some screenshots when I get back home(it's not that hard to make stuff with the adventurecraft tools)  I just want to gauge how ambitious it would be to make a playable app for the calculator, and maybe pursue it  :) 

P. S.  I don't plan on making the instinct inhabitants of Ethos, Romans lol ;)

Introduce Yourself! / Hello there!
« on: September 21, 2011, 10:04:34 pm »
Hello, I registered to this forum because of its thoughtful and intelligent community of coders!  I just purchased my first graphing calculator a TI-84 Plus SE.  Even though I have absolutely no coding experience whatsoever, I do really admire your guys's effort to squeeze the most out of your calculators as electronically possible!  I would like to think of myself as a creative person.  I have spent a lot of time with the "Adventurecraft" Minecraft conversion. I've been working on a Metroid themed map that I'm quite proud of, but eventually I will have to share what I have with the coding community and ask for help before I'm able to release something I'm satisfied with.  I'm amazed by the quality of openness here, you guys have collaborated and made some very impressive projects that you have every right to be proud of.  I think I may try to pick up coding as a new hobby.  I think that my calculator is probably the best place to start a project of this type, and have it reach completion.  I am a mechanical engineering student and I'm very familiar with the software in that realm.  I do hope to learn a little bit from you guys, but I of course also want to play around with some of the apps already made on this forum  ;D
