I have had my brain depleted of good game ideas. I have a few, but none are worth (at least, in my opinion) to work for.
But anyways, here some are:
–>Deflecxion
–>A Worms-type game
–>Orbox (just google it)
You guys have any ideas?

I’ve always wanted to do a Matrix like game. It would be a puzzle like game, requiring thinking skills to solve. The only problem was, I couldn’t figure out something that would be interesting. It would be a hacking game.
I just came up with a new cool idea, have you ever played a game where you have water pipes and you have to align them so the water will flow through them properly? What if we did that with code? There would be a main program, and a ‘code’ program. The user would modify the code program so that it works properly. You could have 10-15 levels that get progressively harder. I think that would be a sweet game if you can do it good.
I really don’t mean for it to be a Basic tutorial though. Although for noobs, it might be a really fun way to learn TI-BASIC. Maybe we should concider the possiablity later. Id like to see this puzzle be for those who know BASIC. (Thinking more about this, I’m also liking this idea as well, but i still want to see the ‘hacking’ version first.)
The main program would do all of the running of the ‘code’ program. It would handle all of the user interaction, and checking to make sure the calc doesn’t crash. It would also display the code, and allow editing of said code. (I guess you could also use the TI-OS editor, but that would limit you to using the BASIC language) (It’d be fun to create a different language. This game would be insane if you used the brainf*** language.)
The levels would already have some code in them. The user would have to edit/add the existing code to get it to complete some objective. The user would test it, and if the code performs occording to the objective, they would advance to the next level.
Good idea. I still think that it should be geared toward a beginner-to-guru Basic thing.
I have no way of knowing if there’s an error or not. I could use Iambian’s CELTIC2, but I would still have to parse each line and check for errors. Any ideas?
Alright. If we use the BASIC editor, and write a program to run the code, we should be able to run any language. It would save the work of creating a seperate editor.
Do you want to use ASM for this program? I would say that it might be easier to catch the errors than checking to see if they exist. (of course this would imply that one must use ASM) Maybe someone with some more experience can shed some light on this.
Maybe I can come up with some solutions later, I have Calc hw. yay
Calc reset? My appologies for your loss, i know it really sucks when that happens.
Go for it. I wasn’t able to think of how to make it more challenging than guess the random number. I also was having difficulty thinking of an idea where I wouldn’t have an unfair advantage by knowing the workings of the game. Cheating like that would ruin the game for me.
I’m thinking like Caesar shift (or whatever it’s called, just replacing each letter with another one), but with random offsets. That would be cool, like a code-breaker kind of thing.
Oh yeah, I was also thinking of a “The Game” type thing, a physics based game.

That would be almost like a Basic tutorial. That would be interesting to make. Only thing is, what would be the purpose of the main program?

This is a good idea concept-wise, but I’m a little ASM-deficient.
As of now I am working on a Bomberman game in Basic.

Two player? There a real (just about impossible???) challange in basic.

Dunno, it just killed itself. I had no backup either…augh.
I like the hacking idea, but what about like a “Crack the Code” thing”?

Would this be like a cryptogram? Be careful, I imagine that you could make a puzzle that is easily unsolvable. (w/o guessing that is)
Is “The Game” the name of an already made game? Sounds like a Dr. Seuss sentence. :-p

‘The Game’ is a jumping-game made by Super Speler. It is in the topic “Strange Game Idea” at UTI.
