Ive played games similar to this, they are deffinately addictive...
Here is one that I think is similar (It looks like it) for those without an Idevice:

aeTIos, I think your post is epic for one or another reason :P
As DJ_O said, a video would be nice.

^ Pretty much agree.
If you guys are going to post project ideas, give descriptions, link to wikipedia pages, or provide videos (or all of theses). Chances are some people won't have a clue what you are talking about. Not everyone is going to have an Ipod/phone, XBOX, PS3, or whatever platform the program was originally developed for. ;)
*Edit* The official link you provided is nice, but it doesn't reveal much about the program.

Subtitles:
"Ehm. Screenhots? Do you have any ideas on how to do this?"
"[ trying to tell you that you didnt really say anything]"
"[/ sorry for backseat moderating this]"
So yeah, that game looks pretty dam epic O.o
And I agree with what AoC said.

I absolutely LOVE this game, but I don't really see a point with porting it, seeing as me and all my other friends have our iPods with us wherever we go, but maybe for in-school "Tiny Tower-ing" this would be nice.

I can give you two reasons:
- Port it for people who don't own an iDevice and don't plan on wasting money on it
- Show people how iDevices' potential is unused by porting their games to calculators
-
AeTIos' posts could be formulated a bit difference because it's a bit rude in my opinion.
-
Is the game available on Android? Some android phones are available for $59.99 (but again I saw them at a Zellers store which is midway through liquidation)
Maybe add exclusive features to make it stand from the original?

Uh, so yeah I don't have an iPhone nor iPad nor iPod nor iX. So yeah.

Looks like it doesn't only exist for iOS-devices. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobage.ww.a560.tinytower_android&hl=en

I'm one of the guys that doesn't have an android device either. (I do have 2 calculators though :P)

Same, I have 5 calculators but no smartphone :P

Perhaps you guys could try the link to the flash game that Jwalker gave? Although it isn't exact the same game.

I'd do it if I knew how to code in C to be able to port that game, but I can only code in Axe. So I don't want to try an addictive game if I can't play it afterwards :P
-
Nice to see it also exists for other stuff. IMHO since TI calcuklators are in constant battle against mobile devices to keep a decent audience number, it's good if when ports of mobile device games to calcs are done that exclusive features are added or if other stuff get changed so that the new version stand out and attract more people. Otherwise if there is the same game on both Android and TI-Nspire CX devices, people will be more willing to go toward the mobile phone than the bulky calc that lacks sound/phone features since there will be no point in playing the calculator version of the game instead.
-
Well I'm pretty sure there is a way to get sound out of the cx...
-

Of course there is. But that would need at least an adapter from usb to 3.5 mm jack. That exists, but no one has it. So I guess no one really bothers making sound on their calc because no one would be able to hear it without an extra cost.

Jim got sound out of the nspire. Don't know if it still is possible though with the updates.
There should be a video of it on youtube.
-
Sound is possible, with C and ndlessed Lua, but almost no one has the tools to listen to it (dockconnector -> loudspeaker/headphones). And no one has tried USB sound.
-
The issue with sound is that the CX has no 3.5 mm port and you need to connect two cables in the serial dock at the right place so it isn't really convenient at school or something.

Exactly, I dont have a phone either, I have an android tablet galaxy S for my whole family and I think it would be nice for math class.

I'm pretty sure that certain schools ban mobile phones from classes or are on the verge to do so, since a lot of students disturb the class while the teacher is talking or text during class instead of working. Since banning calcs would be harder then maybe a calc version makes sense. Also mobile phones are expensive sometimes so some parents who have to buy a calc might not be able to afford the phone (nor the overpriced plans).
