[Staff] MaxCoderz 5 Year Anniversary!

Post by **tr1p1ea** » Fri 06 Oct, 2006 6:34 pm

Well it has been announced that MaxCoderz has celebrated its 5 year anniversary and that there was a special suprise for those who purchased a trophy from the shop.

That suprise was a special tribute program!

You will be thrown into the ever prosperous MaxCoderz Village. Here you will find all sorts of interesting characters to chat to ... you might just find out a few things along the way

.

Features:

- 4-level grayscale
- Smooth scrolling tilemap (scroll speed of 2 tho

)
- Animated tiles
- A whole bunch of NPC's which are more than happy for a chat
- HUGE filesize ... okay so its not a feature

NPC's will tell you things like the history of the group, past members and projects etc

Hey, even I could beat it! That must be a prime indicator that it’s too easy.

Actually, it wasn't flickerless on my 84+SE. My calc had a good driver to begin with and didn't give me the messed up lcd driver problems like a previous one did. However, even with Jime's lcd fix, this program still flickers quite noticably.

Well it works okay on my 84+SE, but i do have new batteries. I was going to take that claim out, but i didnt think anyone would care enough to bring it up.

Happy?

I just wanted to let you know. I don't really care, it still looks very good. I can't wait to see a game based on this.

Heh, great idea, and canÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t wait to check out this little MC momento.

Flickerless on mine.

It's a pretty funny little thing.. A bit slow though.. And why the hell can you bump into flowers?

Content-wise, I expected to see real people from Maxcoderz in the game after reading the instructions, not the sprites of characters made by those people

Yeah, I was kind of expecting that too. But w/e. Maybe next year?

You kind of have to know what everyone looks like ... and how would you recognise a 16x16 sprite? I guess i could change the documentation.

I was kind of expecting just a bunch of generic sprites(like people in one of the old gameboy pokemon games) that would tell you things like who they are, what they like to do, and what programs they are working on/have finished.
But, what you did was fine. I thought it was very nice.

I am also interested in you saying it is a bit slow? I dont think it runs slow on my calc ... then again we might just have different standards

I ran it on PTI, Ti-83 version, and moving around was just a little too slow for comfort. Maybe we have different standards, but it's probably the difference between Ti-83 on PTI and TI-83+ on hardware.
