Can anyone tell me how you can make 2player games where the calculators are connected by a cable?

In assembly or in TI BASIC?
In TI BASIC you only have GetCalc and it only works while the other calculator is idle, so it's hard to make 2player games in TI BASIC.
In assembly there are
several build-in routines and also direct control of
the link port

There's a routine called Zcom for BASIC programmers here
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fi ... 36828.html it works even when calculator isnt idle iirc

I thought you had to explicitly put the calc in receive/send mode with zcom..
But that was some time ago, maybe the newer version is more practical

If in assembly, try

Also, King Harold rightly pointed out the WikiTi, which should help a lot.

And if you use it, let me know
I still want to set up that "Applications using Brass"-page, but so far I've only got a few promises from people who just started new projects
