The first real game I've made on my calculator. Basically, it bases it's configuration off of a matrix that has only 1's and 0's in it. Based on those 1's and 0's, it shows you a 3d view of you position, where you can rotate by 90 degrees either direction and move forward one grid space if there's not a wall in front of you. It has a slight turn animation (which is really simple), and a overhead map you can look at that tells you what the maze looks like, where you are, and what direction you're pointing. I might even make it so it's multilevel. So anyway, I was wondering if any of you guys have ever made any games on your calculators or have beaten the games on them like Blockman and such.

Wait... what!?!?

Calculators?

The_Dancing_Donut · 2010-12-04 14:24:32

Calculator as in those basic plastic rectangles with rubber buttons? Like this?

yikes

AtomicBawm3 · 2010-12-04 14:35:17

Yeah, but on a TI-83+, which is a graphing calculator. You can write programs on them and play games if you have them.

I think AtomicBawm3 is talking about graphing calculators, like this one:

Yes people, you can program on a calculator. A graphing/programmable calculator, to be exact. Those calculators are more like computers than a average dollar-store calculator.
Sadly, I don't have one, so I can't give details. sad

Don't make fun of PoundWorld calculators! lol Mine works, uh, well!
Where can you get these magical programmable calculators?

They're pricey though.

Any chance of you uploading this game? I'd like to see it. I have my own maze game that uses matrices as well, but it's a bird's-eye view.

Kileymeister · 2010-12-04 15:00:45

I have a TI-89, which contradictorily, seems less advanced than the 83's, 4's or 5's. Most of the stuff on it is useless junk like clocks.

I don't know how to upload calculator programs, I'm not even sure I have the chord to connect it to the computer.

EDIT: I might be able to make a scratch version of it, though it sort of defeats the purpose. It's kind of like this project.

Just post the source.
Now it's uploaded.

Do you have a TI-83 or a TI-84?

Matrix [J] should look like:
[1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]
[1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1]
[1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1]
[1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1]
[1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1]
[1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1]
[1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]
[1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]

Turn off the Axes on the Graph

set your window to:
xmin:0
xmax:94
ymin:-62
ymax:0

I think that's all you need. Have fun!

Lol, yeah, it took a little bit of work, but it was fun.

AtomicBawm3 · 2010-12-04 20:21:41

I edited the pics so there better and added a feature that lets the map show the start and finish, plus a pic for the finish.

coolstuff · 2010-12-04 20:28:59

Ooh, that sounds like fun! I wish I could create programs from my calculator, but mine is boring and scientific. Can't make graphs from mine, sorry.

I'd love to see your game! When I get a graphing calculator (probably next year) I'll certainly be taking a look.

Nexstudent · 2010-12-04 20:31:36

Is programming a calculator difficult? Because it sounds fun!

It's difficult at first, but if you've done any other programming language, it's very similar. Besides, you can look up how to do stuff online.

That must have taken a while to copy down. I see you used the drawing window for your graphics. Personally, I use the main calculations window and use the Output function, but that's just me.

But when you do that, you can't make use of pictures, plots, circles, etc. It's good for questions and such, but if you want to make a game, the graph is the way to go.

I have pong on my calculator and I could download a Mario game. It's also touch screen. I've never programmed my calculator but it looks rather simple.

AtomicBawm3 · 2010-12-05 09:17:29

You have a touch screen calculator? Sounds like it's more like an ipod meant only for calculating.
