I'll look into speeding up the 83+ ports. The Linked Edition is 26.2kB, so they'd probably need to do it as an App somehow. When it comes to 83+'s I'm about as fuzzy as dryer lint, so I'd need some kind of flash expert on that job.
[edit]
If anyone want to contribute to the project, I'm currently in search of ideas for some Mario Party-style minigames to put in the upcoming revision.

Cool, Missing. I'll send you the source and graphics on monday. There's a lot of commenting, so that should help move things along too.

Alright, here is part of the arcade zone that's going to be featured in the upcoming update. After thinking about the old DOS games, I decided to go with an oldschool ASCII art theme. The game is on the
ticalc archives, so be sure to rate the game so I can make more adjustments to the revision.
Because of school commitments, this version won't be out before Christmas. With the new compression system, the revisions will be about 400-500 bytes smaller than the originals
with the new features.

Okay, an update on the update here. The compression did better than expected, but instead of filling that with new features, I'm just added the Pong battle element.
I finally got my link working for the first time 2001 and finally got to see the game in living color...so to speak. With a better idea of what the graphics will look like, I retooled the rain animation and one of the fight backdrops. The pong minigame is compete and there is a 2nd roulette game that will only appear in the Standard Edition.
The upcoming Lite Edition will probably reach 83+ first. It uses the exact same rules and levels as the Full Versions, but drops the linking and some of the flashy eye candy. Any calculators with a 96x64 screen will probably get this version first.

So does that mean there is already an 83+ port Digi?
Cause I did port it, but it is 25000+ bytes...I assume the Lite version will be smaller...
I have no idea if it works, because I couldnt test it in PTI or on my actual calc...but alot of the main stuff was converter to work for the 83+.

If needed I can test for you and see if the port is errorless.
