I can't do too much yet on the TI-84 plus that I have but I am getting better at it. I have already made a Magic 8 Ball game and a Snake-type game. Anyone have any ideas?

I accually am looking for something too for the first game I make on the 89t. Hey, why not an rpg, thats what the site is about. I've been thinking about one, but I haven't played enough rpg to probably be successful.

I suggest looking http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/index.php?showtopic=1138, if not there I would like to suggest you work on the basics if you haven't done so yet. Btw Welcome to the forum you two!

Jons, even an ASCII RPG takes a lot of work, trust me. It is not necisarrily that hard, just time consuming. If you want some pointers though, this is the place for RPGs

I have an 89 tutorial on my site if you need it jon...

@programmer_to_be: What kind of games are you into on the console??? That is where I would start...

Make a snake game utilizing the newly discovered bluescale.

That would be pointless to do (getting xlib with a 500b snake program...)

I already used your tutorials on your site several weeks ago. Thanks they where helpful.

So its either an RPG, pong or snake. Hmmmm....

rivereye · « **Reply #8 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:17:00 am »

I would say an RPG, just because there are too many pong and snake games. You would have to create something really unique in them

something i would like to see: an empire game
could be entirely text based, you get to control an empire, have to build cities, get gold, and raise armies. Then attack other empires. That'd be pretty cool

AOE3 or w/e

, make a graphical version!

That sounds like a winner. I love Age of Empires. Now it's just the matter of getting started.

I found out the hard way that RPGs are not the greatest way to start programming. Of course, it all depends on the type and complexity of the RPG you have in mind (text-based might be easier). I myself am experimenting with different types of simple games, just to get the feel of different techniques and ways of making a game. I was pleasantly surprised when everything tied together and I was able to take the knowledge aquired from a small project onto my next one.

Best of luck,
