So, i am working on a project called "simcity" (yes i know, there already exists simcity's for ti84/83) but okay, i just want your guys opinion ;)
It's also an early alpha, so expect free bugs :P

Thnx, this is my first big project in the last year :) i worked on a lot of basic games/programs the last 4 years i had my TI84 but i never uploaded them and lost them when my calculator had to be resetted with the exams :( but in my new school they only reset the RAM >:3

There are paid ones? O.O
Just kidding, this looks quite good. One suggestion I have, though, to stand out from the competition, would be to maybe use dual-layer ASCII tilemaps (drawing two sets of characters on top of each others) so you can use sprites, but without losing too much speed, kinda like Serenity, Zoith and Metroid Pi. :)

I heard from those ones before, but i never got to the point of "inventing" them, any idea where i can maybe find a database of them?

There isn't, but someone made a program that can help you create dual-layer ASCII sprites:

By the way, here's how a game could look like using them:

Basically, it rivals some xLIB/Celtic III graphics. :D I don't remember where I put the code for this, though (it could have been handy for chars combinations).
Try to get the main engine done first, though, to ensure you got full speed and optimized everything before adding eye candies that could slow things down.
