fucking calculator. was working on it last night, testing graphics, when i noticed that I started getting "Error: Memory" with 12k free space available. I chose "Goto" on the error menu, and the screen flipped out and gave me a BSOD. Pulled the batteries, stuck them in, and nothing happened. Left them out for a while, put them back in and turned the device on, and it says "Waiting for Operating System"

sigh, hook it up to the PC and put the OS back on there, and what happens? It flips out again, turns itself off. Turn it back on, it says "Ram Cleared". I go to ungroup my last backup, and there's nothing there. "Surely this cant be right." i say, hook the device to the computer, and open device explorer, check, and see absolutely nothing. sigh, throw the calculator into the closet, get a beer, and just play wow and stuff.

fucking calculator ate the project, and not once did I back up to the computer because I figured this'd never happen.

WORD OF ADVICE:

xLIB is really, really, fucking strange to work with, and is hazardous. use at your own risk.



on the plus side though, this frees up time for me to start studying a PC language. I'm thinking Perl or Java.


and FYI, that's fucking 2.5 months of work down the shitter because of this. I'm just going to call it a fucking fail, and move on.

Can I apply?
Everyone is allowed to apply, I'm sure o_O
Yes everyone can apply but we all know dj's response.
Which would be "absolutely he can."

you should.

***metagross111 slaps Drak around for a bit like a tool.

srsly though. last thursday someone tried to roleplay with me and they wound up calling the party van and they dialed whine one one to get the wambulance to take them to intensive care (because nobody gave a crap.)

what the, you cant roleplay on a roleplaying server.

I can roleplay on a roleplaying server whenever the hell I want!

***metagross111 pulls out some huge weaponry! Drak has to deal with attempted IRC style /me effects.

OK SO! Update time!

currently doing some tests with numbers and fine tuning things (yeah i know fine tuning is supposed to come at the end when everythigns done but its just buggin the shiester out of me.) and playing around with the idea in my mind of how to incorporate a Post Game "Versus" mode where you can link your calculator and send calculatorally transmitted diseases yyour data to the other persons calc and stuff to Versus fight them and .. i know its like amazing holy shiester anyway

been busy with life
planted strawberry plants :3  and gonna plant some more stuff holy cow thats amazing

anyway
not gonna do a video anytime soon of gameplay. gonna wait till I have a workin engine for map movement and the combad engine is done. that brings me to a rant about freakin row swap yeah its nice and all but when i'm doing it nine times in a row to shift everything in a matrix a given direction god damn its slow. is there any way to get this faster than 1.5 seconds? using a ti84+silver edition.


EDIT:


fyi if you ever was hyour calculator dont throw it out, i found that opening it up and using a toothbrush to clean it out actually worked wonders
didnt even lose my data ^^

wabbitemu only lets me send about 100 files before the link times out. :(
so i wasn't even able to get past the title screen before i ran into a missing program

how much memory does the entire game use? maybe it would be better to package the game into an app with basicbuilder

its really, REALLY freaking huge.
