Glass of milk 30 min before you go to bed.  I have a little sleeping problem, and while this sounds a bit young, it works every time :)  something to do with sugars and stuff...

Same here.  I'm using Firefox, and all I get is a 0, and when i put my mouse over it, it gives a ?, and then says 'The current Score of this Post'

EDIT: Tried IE and got the same thing :(

But where do you draw the line?  Where's the border?  If you can do radio text, why not fill the screen?  If you can fill the screen, why not fill only part of the screen?  Since that's basically rectangle filling, can we extend it to drawing the border?  How about a simple sprite drawing routine?  How about advanced key input, that's pretty simple.

See what I mean?  Its difficult to draw the line between basic hex codes, and all out assembly programing.  As it is, BASIC programing actualy means using the TI-BASIC language, which excludes all assembly, hex codes or not.  As soon as you do something like turn off the run indicator, you are already 1 up on regular BASIC

So lets say I re-created Super-Maro (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/174/17452.html) in regular uncompiled Hex, would that really be fair to regular BASIC programers?  HEX is no different from the assembly you write on the computer, and in fact, there are plenty of programs that enable you to write assembly programs on your calculator!

Its weird with mine, because there is only 1 getkey per iteration of the loop. but you can press 2nd (jump) then right and immediately go diagonally right-up.  And if you hit a ceiling, you don't stick there until your jump runs out, instead you immediately start falling, just like you had reached the top of your jump.

Yeah, i noticed that most of these types of tiles have the futuristic look, but not the kind of sleek futuristic look sometimes seen in movies.  This is the first platformer I've ever worked on, and it was quite difficult to get the physics working.

It supports collision and non collision tiles, and realistic-ish gravity.  When you jump right, it looks like this:

-----X-X-----
---X-----X---
-X---------X-


in a kind of parabola-esq motion.

Nope, i just liked the name.  (And you might find some of the characters share names ;) ) but it really has little correlation.

Yeah, it uses 1 layer of full sized ASCII, and then another layer that is shifted over 1 pixel.  This  gives tiles that are 6 pixels wide, and connected to tiles next to it.  The rows are also spaced 7 pixels apart so you get fluid graphics in all 4 directions!  Plus you get even more possible tiles because the order of the 2 characters used to make a tile matters.

So loading is fast! Yay!

Its finally time to reveal some screenshot of my upcoming submission to the contest.  The game will be called Serenity, the story is based on a spaceship, and that's all i will tell you! :D

 

 

I'm very proud of the graphics, they're like nothing i have worked with before

EDIT: I didn't upload animated screnshots, because wabbitemu doesn't like special characters, and i use a lot of those.

The line is represented as a unit vector (a,b,c) starting at (0,0,0) and the Sphere is represented as having a center at (x,y,z) and a radius of r

I am stuck.  really really stuck, and for some reason Google will not yield any useful results.  Does anybody know the formula for detecting a collision between a line and a sphere in 3D space?

Thankz
