NES Says
« on: December 09, 2009, 06:35:24 pm »
NES Says (CIII/xLib)

NES Says is a spin-off of the popular Simon Says game. (Originally designed to be SNES Says, but there wasn't enough room in my GUI for that.) Works exactly the same way, just has prettier graphics. (Although, I was planning on using real(8)'s ability to detect diagonals but not sure of how well that'd work out. If anyone's interested I can throw that in.)
I made this in Pre-cal class while I should've been taking a test. Didn't take much time. Did about 20 more minutes of clean-up, optimizations, and such when I got home.

Anyway, here ya go. Easy, simple game to pass some time. Small, only requires a picture, a few of your variables, and L1 and L2.
Limit of 999 built-in (doubt you'll ever get there anyway) and only other limitation is whether or not your calc can handle a list with up to 999 elements.

Anyway, only 678 RAM used on the program and the list grows as you use it. (L2 stays as a 2 elements list though)
Pic2 can be archived. Also, H is the highscore variable. Don't mess with it if you care about the score.
Or play with it to your heart's content. Just letting you know. (for this, you may have to record you playing for anyone to believe your score)

Also, the speed is only tested on TI-84+SE so I'm not sure how slow it is on earlier versions, although I'm almost positive it'll work fine.

You had my hopes up when I saw topic title (didn't paid attention to poster)' I was sure Calc84 added NES support in his emu :P

j/k, but that looks awesome :D

We had this game in the old Omnimaga forums arcade. I think the new arcade does too but I'm not sure anymore. My bro also had a Simon toy when he was kid

Haha, thanks.

It's nothing special. Made in a little under 1.5 hours. Just a quick job to kinda get me back in the programming mindset.

I did have fun with it though. Both playing and making it.

It looks good {AP} :)  I always sucked at Simon Says though XD

I made this in Pre-cal class while I should've been taking a test.

1.5 hours for a math test, that's awesome!

j/k (I know you did more work out of class)

Thank you~

I just looked at Ticalc.org and mine's the sexiest looking and smallest Simon clone out there.
It's sad because of the size part. A lot of much worse looking and even slower ones were huge.

That's exactly what I thought when I clicked on the link.

This looks nice.  I'll have to try it soon.

Yeah, I actually was thinking more of the Sega Genesis myself.
Still, "SEGA" wouldn't fit on the middle of the D-pad, so I just went with what I knew would.

Regardless... it's a very sexy D-pad. ^_^
