Been 2 years since my last visit.

I just can't believe triplea is still going on. Man you guys never get tired of that Ti ;).
Sad to see nobody took on Starcraft my friend and I wanted to finish.

Writing that you allow other people to modify your program in the readme would help. Can we assume your Starcraft is into the public domain ?

Oh of course, it's free to be continued by someone else. My friend stopped working on it and makes opengl games for pc now, he doesn't mind at all.

Curious, I found that in ticalc and downloaded...

RTS for z80 is one of my ideas. But I don't feel like basing a game in another...

It is good that you released the source code of Starcraft, but it is not enough to make it easy for people to continue the development. I've downloaded the archive and tried to compile the source. I think the problems are:
  • you give no build instructions in the archive.
  • the source code itself is hard to get into because:
    • it is one big file
    • it has no comments, nor documentation explaining the main structure
    • it is mostly in French
So, if someone wants to see a completed Starcraft on TI-83+, they would have an easier time by restarting from scratch instead of trying to understand your program.

I've tried to build a version by removing all features related to flash apps (ie, pasting a level directly in the source code and making the program load it), but I gave up because the level format is not documented. Do you have any developer files (doc, build instruction) that you can release ?

So it seems he doesn't answer his mail, I guess he changed it and forgot to tell me his new one.
He lives in France and I'm in Quebec, heh.

Don't they teach you French in the states? :D tsk tsk tsk, what a pity...


I live in Flanders, Belgium. Learning French and English (later on) is obligatory!

Creole doesn't count? I didn't eat all those dinners at Pappadeaux for nothing, you know? :P

Me? I'm just glad TI's are still in the game. When I joined ti-programmers, I would of figured they'd be replaced by PDAs or something by now. Not happening anytime soon.
My diet consists of nails, code-stealers, and HP fans.

Robot War [TI-82, TI Flash App]
Sonic the Hedgehog [Multiplatform]
