Half Life 2: On-Calc
« on: March 16, 2010, 05:53:03 pm »
Hello.  As you can probably tell from the name, I am writing a version of Half Life 2 for the calculator.  I will write more information here in a minute, as well as an early screenie.  If you have feature requests or comments, please put em in here.

Cool, I saw some info in the Axe section but I can,t wait for more stuff and screenshots! I am curious about what you will come up with :)

Just make sure to not start too massive, though, unless you coded in TI-BASIC for a year or two (I say TI-BASIC since Axe is kinda similar and its roots, syntax-wise, are from TI-BASIC). Some people start incredibly massive projects as their very first calc games and don't realise how much work it can be x.x.

Thanks for the concern DJ, however, I have been doing TI-Basic for 5 years.
I already wrote this post once, and it failed to post, so I'm skipping a lot and just putting up the attachments.
The screenshot looks a lot better on hardware.
Please try it out, there isn't much yet though.

aaah ok I see, I wasn't sure since you weren't on forums for a while. Sometimes, people only join after 2 years or rare cases 3, but it's even rarer to see them join after half a decade or more ^^

Looks nice so far, can't wait to see more, though. :)

Btw, Netham45 is a big HL fan. I should redirect him to this thread at one point, so if you see a member with a pink nickname in the user reading this topic list, then it's a good sign

LOL I laughed at this!

I think Calc84maniac posted this program in a joke, though, and some sort of parody of misleading ticalc files titles and descriptions (altough this one was in the right section I guess :P)

Question: can the character jump?  Or is up-and-down motion treated as if this were a four-direction scrolling game (like an RPG)?
