Name that game:

Treasure Island

Excellent. It is enough to do RUN "DSK1.URMAIN" to bypass the load screen. I transfered it to a .TIDISK using TI99Dir, and used Win99/4a Sim's disk manager to export it to tape. Loads and plays fine on non-expanded setup. ur.zip

Fix it with 69 GOTO 62 before you run it. I made this in Magellan and tested it in classic99. I decided to RES 1,1 it before i shared it, but had no idea the goto would end up at some crazy line number when i did that. Sorry. Patched version: And, just in case you want to bring in 2019 in the same fashion, here is a program for next year:2019.txt

Little something to run on your TI for the first day of 2018. Ti Basic FIAD in zip (forum would not let me attach a file with out a extension...) 2018.zip

Automotion-sprites in basic, to me, do not seem to be of much use. However, as Morphy and my own parsec sprite demo with moveable user controlled sprites (Post #60) has shown, useful things can still be accomplished. I have a couple of ideas cooking for games using this. For now, i will experiment with simple games like tower of hanoi, tic tac toe, hangman, and rock paper scissors. Assuming they turn out decent, i will release them here on Atariage forum. Of coarse there is always real life to suck my TI time away from me, but that's just the way it is.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have been so busy playing with this in classic99 that i have totally forgotten to test any of these on real TI's. Then again, i do not have a nanopeb, so it may be a specific problem to that particular configuration. Hopefully senior_falcon can offer some advice?

Very interesting! Hope you can get somewhere with that idea! In the meantime though, i believe you wanted to see me use this new version, so "Let's a go!" You should know the drill by now. Load the first listing and run it, then load the second listing and run it.

Would it have killed TI to have included a brown in the color pallet? I would gladly swap one of the green shades for a real brown. Trees with yellow/red trunks just look... awkward.

Senior_falcon, am i correct in thinking there is not a easy way to do the equivalent of XB's CALL COINC with this technique? If there is, i would love the details on it.

This is a lot to wrap my head around. And i had just started to get the hang of the old-version you originally posted. This is very, very impressive, senior_falcon. I am not getting the negative hex numbers though. How is FC and F4 equal to -4 and -12? Hexadecimal FC = 252 decimal. Hexadecimal F4 = 244 decimal.

I present a little program to display all 15 colors inside of a 8 pixel by 8 pixel character area. The CALL CHAR()'s in the program are displaying the 'period' character [CHR$(46)] at just the right places to form a 8x8 grid of colored dots. Strobe effect used to fill in the last spot since one of the colors on the ti is not really a 'color' (transparent). First run this: 10 FOR I=1 TO 128 20 READ X 30 F$=F$&CHR$(X) 40 NEXT I 50 OPEN #1:F$ 100 DATA 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,6,248 110 DATA 55,215,158,200,0,255,0,0,0,0,0,159,34,0,0,0,33,111,0,0,0,0,0,0 120 DATA 32,0,33,224,42,93,3,179,216,32,131,186,131,212,215,224,131,189,215,224,131,188 130 DATA 215,224,131,191,215,224,131,190,4,224,131,196,216,32,131,187,140,0,4,91,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 140 DATA 224,208,133,15,71,128,53,103,0,0,131,144,0,0,33,111 Then run this: 10 CALL CLEAR 20 CALL CHAR(144,"53778E0153798E02") 30 CALL CHAR(145,"537B8E03537D8E04") 40 CALL CHAR(146,"55778E0555798E06") 50 CALL CHAR(147,"557B8E07557D8E08") 60 CALL CHAR(148,"57778E0957798E0A") 70 CALL CHAR(149,"577B8E0B577D8E0C") 80 CALL CHAR(150,"59778E0D59798E0E") 90 CALL CHAR(151,"597B8E0FD0") 100 FOR X=1 TO 16 110 CALL SCREEN(X) 120 NEXT X 130 GOTO 100

I was wondering if anyone had all the programs from SAMS "TI-99/4A: 24 BASIC Programs" saved on a .dsk and would mind sharing it? I have a pdf, but i really don't feel like retyping all of them to try them out. Thanks Lee!

I do not remember which user on here originally made this, but it is a scrolling demo of a figure walking against a brick wall. Just for the fun of it, i have converted it to run in TI Basic with a sprite. Just a bit slower then the XB original. (Sorry, i really have no idea who the original poster was. It was found in some thread where people were showing off little odds and ends they had come up with.) walking sprite in basic.txt

You mean the two separate programs? I believe the first program contains, essentially, embedded assembly code. I don't pretend to understand it myself, but apparently this assembly code manages to reset the basic interpreter after running? That is what it seems to me to be doing. After running the first program you are be back at a Ti Basic Ready prompt. No basic program left in memory after the assembly code ran, but it managed to modify some VDP registers. Senior_falcon could explain this better i think.
