Plan for Jeremy Alessi

by Jeremy Alessi · 09/29/2004 (2:16 pm) · 3 comments

I learned to program in High School so that I could make a drag racing game on my TI-85 calculator ... wow now look where I've gone with it and still with no racing game to show for ... well until now anyway. We've finally begun working on what is sure to be our best game yet. The game will be more arcade style than sim but should hit a little on both ... just enough to make it easy to pick up and play and then also to make it deep. A.I. is viewed racing in these pictures (we're going to tune the A.I. by having them race eachother ;) ... there will also be networking support for multiplay, lap times, and possibly new cars, upgrades etc...

I used to program RPGs on a TI-89 in highschool. It even had its own map and dialog editor. I also wrote an application in assembly for a TI-89 to create grayscale images.

Good luck to you and Leadfoot.

Hehe, I bought a TI-89 in college just so I could do some faster stuff (was also hoping to use it's 3D graphing functions for something). I ended up liking my TI-85 better though and used that thing A LOT to code on. I only wrote one assembly program ... I think it was for Z-Shell but I can't remember exactly. I was the worst ... I'd be in my computer science courses programming games on the calculator ;) That was somewhat acceptable I guess ... I think it was when I was in Spanish class coding games on the calculator that the teachers really looked at me suspiciously ;)
