Hey Guys,
I've been working on creating a card game for the TI-NSpire! It is based on the Yahoo Games's game (games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=t21&ss=1 (http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=t21&ss=1)) of the same name. I've added in the subtle rules found from a fanpage: https://www.allegro.cc/depot/Tornado21/ (https://www.allegro.cc/depot/Tornado21/)
If you are up for it, give it a try! All source is also included as well! For the most-part the game is rather simple; as you just choose a column to play your card. But there are ways to get more points (Gold cards, bonuses) and as such the game has a far amount to it!
So far I only tested in on the TI-NSpire CX CAS; but I'll test on another calculator or two and make sure it looks alright!
I got a few code loose ends. I am tempted to add an animation of the card moving to the column (as well as animate off the screen when the column is completed) if it is necessary. I might add a small history like the Yahoo Game version too. Also I did run into a case where I got a Joker card by completing a column which caused more Jokers over and over; which might be on purpose but I might still do something about it!
Well I hope you like it! Let me know what you think!

Looks very nice :D. I don't have much time lately though so it might takea while before I can try it, but it seems pretty fun. :)

Thanks DJ Omnimaga,
If it helps I think I got a coworker addicted to playing it! :)
Whenever you do get time I'd like to know what you think of it! But until then have a great day!

The graphics are really impressive. I suggest the key ctrl instead of enter to draw a card.
Do you compress the picture ? The game's size is more than 1 Mo...

Hi mdr1,
Regarding the key; let's do both! I can make it so either Ctrl or Enter will draw the card! Thanks for the suggestion; that will be really helpful!
I did not compress any of the pictures! And you are right the program is large. There are a couple of places where I used images which might not have been necessary: the highscore screen and the help screen (I'll probably do something with this one). If I were to compress the images I think the size of the program will be about 1/2 megabyte (maybe).
Thanks for your feedback and enjoy your day!

Hi Guys,
(I hope this isn't a double-post)
I made some updates! I added in little history view on the bottom to the side. You can cycle through the history of completed columns using the plus and minus keys. I made a few tweaks including adjusting the position of the deck of cards.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on this! As I think it is practically complete!
Oh and have a fantastic day!
