How the Program Works

Naturally, some characters were defined in order to create the screen display in this program. Character 97, a, is fe-defined as an open square, 0 , and Character 98, b, is defined as a filled square, • (lines 200-210). When the 8x8 grid is drawn on the screen, it is done by printing the string "aaaaaaaa" eight times (lines 420-440).

The character codes as they will appear on the screen are READ in as DATA (lines 120-170). The string array H$(O,l) through H$(lS,1) holds the sixteen patterns of blank (" a") or filled-in ("b" ) squares. The string array H$(0,2) through H$(15,2) holds the corresponding code number or letter as you would use it in your programs later. The flashing cursor is red so that you can tell where you are on the pattern you are designing (lines 180-190). CALL GCHAR(X,Y,C) determines what character number C is at row X and column Y (line 480).

Fixed bug! And NOW Tags!

Retrospect · April 22, 2019

The cursor doesn't fit the grid properly, I don't know what the culprit is but I think line 460 and maybe a line that determines how many to the left the cursor can go needs altering?

Example Animated Program

The following BASIC program uses the techniques described in this article to produce an animated game. The object of the game is to maneuver the marble into the hole at the opposite corner of the display. Between the marble and the hole are two to five kids trying to catch the marble. The kids can only be seen at the start of the game or when one is close to the marble. The arrow keys on the keyboard are used to maneuver the marble.

Sound Shaper

Steven Kaye - TI Translation by Patrick Parrish

"Sound Shaper" manipulates volume and frequency to give the TI with Extended BASIC a smoother, more musical sound.. The program also runs on the TI with regular BASIC.

The TI produces waveforms which are square. One micro second the sound is off, the next it's on. This abrupt onset of sound produces somewhat nonmusical sounds. The tones sound electronic and unlike any acoustic instrument.

As an alternative to turning the sound on and off abruptly, we can increase and decrease the amplitude (vol ume) more gradually under control of the program. "Sound Shaper" has two sound producing routines that can be used in your programs. Echo effect produces a sound that its name implies. The actual routine producing the sound is in lines 550 to 670. The routine can be extracted as is and used.

The Shaped Musical Notes routine is a bit more flexible. The program will ask for a rise and fall value. Experiment with different values. Try low values like .5,2 and .1,1 and higher values like 10,10. For an eerie sound try 5,20. If the in put values are much higher the program seems to continue endlessly, but will eventually return to the main menu.

Experiment with values and write down the ones you like. Once you have found the effect you wantfor a particular application, copy the routine from lines 400 to 490. Be sure to supply values for R and D.

The Mozart Machine

Donald J. Eddington TI Translation by Gregg Peele

Your computer can compose music with this special tech nique. The compositions are remarkably Mozartian in style.

If you've ever gone through the steps to make your computer play a particular piece of music, you realize that it can be a significant programming task. To have your computer actually write music is a real feat.

To accomplish this, we've first got to find a way to work with CALL SOUND values in DATA statements in order to make the measures of music. Also, we need to be able to READ the values in any order so that the songs will be dif ferent with each run of the program. The commonly used string manipulation methods won't work very well here. We need variety, and the traditional way of working with strings quickly results in a tangled mess.

Array Referencing

The shortest, best way to solve this problem is to use a tech nique called array referencing. First, to get the measures of music, you set up an array of all variables, then reference them by subscript in a loop. Specifically, 14 variations on nine variables are required to make the music for this program. The random number generator is used to make the music different every time the program is run. A Mozartian flavor results from a deliberate shortening of the low notes and making the high notes of varying lengths. And to keep the music from becoming totally random, DATA statements select the measures by their underlying tonality— tonic, subdominant, dominant, or supertonic. In keeping with classical style, a cadence is provided every four measures with a final ending chord for each tune.

I remember, the PDF would not copy correct and I copy same line to not have to write "DATA" again and was then "mind blind" to that.

Sprite Editor - Something wrong with CALL KEY i think!!!

Larry Long

Here's a way to get maximum use of sprites on the TI-99/4A—and a program that generates listings for your sprite creations. Requires Extended BASIC.

A very powerful yet often unused feature of the TI-99/4A is its ability to display and control sprites. With the 99/4A and the Extended BASIC Module, it's possible to generate 28 sprites for display and independent simultaneous movement. Program 1 should convince any doubters that this can be done. Although a lot of colored letters floating around the screen are a bit pointless, if we can modify and control the sprites, we will have a most useful feature.

Sprites can be designed by drawing on a piece of graph paper and then converting the on/off pixels to a hexadecimal number. If the two largest sizes of sprites are used, the hexadecimal number describing the shape of the sprite would be 64 characters long (for a more extensive discussion on sprite creation see "A Beginner's Guide to Sprites" elsewhere in this book). A solution is a sprite editor that will allow us to draw the pattern we want on the screen and then have the com puter create the program we need to make that sprite pattern. Program 2 will do exactly that, and more. It will allow us to edit the sprite pattern. Then, when we press the L key, it will display a complete listing that would, if copied on paper and then entered into the computer, provide a sprite and the necessary routine to control its movement.

Your Options

When you run the program, the first display screen will be a design grid with a box-shaped cursor. The area under the cursor will initially be white (signifying an off pixel). Press 1

to change the color beneath the cursor to black (representing an on pixel) or to move the cursor about the grid using the arrow keys. To turn off a particular pixel, press 0 and the back ground color will be returned to white. When you have ""*] completed your design, press the P key to see it displayed as a sprite.

At this point, you are given several options. You can magnify your newly constructed sprite (M key), change its color. (C key), change its background color (B key), or set it in motion (E, S, D, X keys). If you are not pleased with the sprite's shape, you can modify it by striking the T key or (if the changesrequired are quite drastic) simply press the A key to start with a fresh grid. On the other hand, if you are satisfied with your sprite and its color and directional parameters, press the L key to create the BASIC statements needed to achieve these effects.

If using the sprite editor is your only concern, then skip the rest of this article and go straight to Program 2 and enjoy this easy access to sprites.

How the Editor Works

To understand what makes the editor work, let's take a general overview of the program:

Lines

100-260 Set up screen display.

270-460 The main loop of the designing portion of the program.

470-680 Evaluate the design, put its values in an array, read the values in the array, convert them to hexadecimal numbers, and then build a 64-character string to describe the sprite pattern.

690-770 Put the sprite on the screen and display new program instructions.

780-930 Main loop of the implementation portion of the program.

940-980 Change size of sprite.

1000-1150 Display a listing of the sprite program.

1160-1220 Change the color of the sprite and screen.

A cursor is needed to indicate where you are located on the design grid. I chose to use a sprite (line 220) because I could move it around freely without disturbing the display under it. Repositioning the cursor is accomplished in line 380 with a CALL LOCATE. The arrow keys reposition the cursor, and the ENTER key changes the area under the cursor.

What makes "Sprite Editor" so valuable is its ability to generate the hexadecimal pattern for the sprite. The loop from line 500 through line 560 determines the character in each position of the design grid and stores that value in the array B (R,C). Line 570 provides a string with all of the possible hexadecimal digits placed in ascending order. Line 580 sets M$ to null. The loop from line 590 to line 630 evaluates the array elements and converts each row in the left half of the design grid to a pair of hexadecimal digits and concatenates them to M$. Line 620 is probably the most significant line in ' this loop, as it provides the hexadecimal numbers. It causes the computer to look at a particular digit (element) in HEX$ determined by the values calculated for HIGH and LOW. Lines 630-680 perform the same operation as 590-630, only for the right half of the design grid.

Line 690 assigns the hexadecimal numbers to ASCII characters 104, 105, 106, and 107. It is necessary to specify only the first character number in the CALL CHAR statement. When this feature is used, it is required that you start with a character that is evenly divisible by 4. Line 730 actually displays the sprite.

Lines 740-770 provide instructions for the implementation portion of the program. Lines 780-830 check for specific key presses and provide appropriate branching to list the program; end the program; start from the beginning; change the background color; modify the existing sprite; change sprite size; or change sprite color. Lines 840-920 check for arrow key presses and then increment or decrement sprite speed. Lines 940-980 change sprite size. Lines 1000-1150 display a program listing that would generate a sprite like the one designed by the Sprite Editor. One problem with listing the program is displaying the quote character. The computer interprets it to mean that you want to end the PRINT statement. The solution is to redefine an unused character (I chose the lowercase n) to look like the quote character.

Finally, lines 1160-1220 allow you to change the color of the sprite and screen.

Worm of Bemer - COOL! Same PDF as above!

Stephen D. Fultz

TI Translation by Patrick Parrish

Nerm the worm is lost in Bemer Castle and needs your help to get home. You must guide him through 11 rooms and help him find magic mushrooms to eat along the way. The journey is a navigator's nightmare, because you never know where the next mushroom will grow, and if Nerm hits a wall or gets trapped by his tail, he loses one of his lives.

"Worm of Bemer" is a fast-paced arcade game in which Nerm the Worm travels through rooms eating magic mushrooms. Nerm is lost in Bemer Castle and wants to return home. Guide Nerm to a mushroom using the keyboard arrow keys (E, S, D, and X) so he can keep up his strength for the journey. After eating five mushrooms in a room, Nerm can exit to the next room. You must guide Nerm through 11 rooms before he finds his home. You start out with four lives. If you touch anything besides a mushroom you will lose a life. At the top of the screen you will see the current score, what room Nerm is in, how many mushrooms Nerm must eat to open the exits, and how many lives Nerm has left, includ ing the current life. You get 100 points, plus bonus points, for every mushroom you eat. Nerm gets a bonus life after completing the first two rooms and another for every third room thereafter.

Adding More Features

You can learn a lot about programming and games by modifying the action and settings in Worm of Bemer. Some features you might add include a routine to save the high score to disk, adding more players, or having Nerm go to a different room ' depending on which exit he takes. Simpler enhancements would be changing the number of mushrooms that Nerm must eat or changing his speed.

Duck Leader

Douglas E. Smith and Douglas W. Smith

This is no time to be feather-brained or daffy. There are hunters lurking in the maze of reeds ahead, and ifyou make a wrong turn, you and your friends will be duck soup. Two skill levels, ten difficulty ratings.

This game will challenge your skill and memory. Your assignment, as the leader of a squadron of 30 ducks, is to direct them through a series of marsh mazes to the safety of a duck sanctuary.

You must swim through five different mazes, each of which has invisible reed patches and hidden hunters. The reeds will send you back to the beginning of the maze. If you find a hunter, you will lose a duck. Save as many ducks as possible for a high score. Lose your squadron and it's all over.

Favorite Duck

After typing in the program, it's a good idea to list the program, check for errors, and then save a copy to tape or disk before running the program.

When you start the game, the title graphics will appear, followed by several questions.

1. LEVEL=?(1=HELP/ 2=NO HELP)

Enter 1 until you have gained confidence in your memory and problem-solving ability. With level 1 you may use the H key to quickly view the location of the reeds and hunters in the marsh (up to five times during one game).

Level 2 will double your possible score, but you cannot use the H key for help.

2. DIFFICULTY=(1-10) I

For your first game, enter 1. After some practice try the other difficulty ratings. Ratings 1-4 are easy, 5-7 are hard, and 8-10 are very challenging. The difficulty rating determines the complexity of the maze.

3. INSTRUCTIONS ? (Y/N)

Enter Y to read the instructions before the game begins. This screen briefly describes the game and the functions of the appropriate keys used for the game. It also shows the graphic characters used for the reeds, hunters, and the marsh exit.

4. FIRST NAME OF THE LEAD DUCK?

Type in your first name or the name of your favorite duck, and press ENTER. The game will then begin.

If you entered Y for instructions, they will appear first. Hit the 1 key to begin play.

At first the outline of the marsh appears, and then the positions of the reeds and hunters are indicated. You have 15 seconds to study the locations before the reeds and hunters become invisible.

Successful Maneuvers

The duck on the left side of the marsh represents your squadron. Move the duck by using the arrow keys (E, S, D, and X). You do not have to press ENTER or use the FCTN key.

If you hit the sides of the marsh or the invisible reed, your ducks will bounce back to the starting position, but you do not lose any ducks.

Meeting a hunter will result in gunfire and the loss of a duck, with the survivors returning to the start again.

The positions of the reeds and hunters do not change until you reach the exit to the next marsh.

Your goal is to maneuver your squadron to the right side of the marsh and out the exit to the next marsh. Once you have passed through the five marshes to safety, the program will congratulate you, show you the remaining ducks, and print your score.

The highest possible score is 6000 and can be achieved only at level 2 with the difficulty rating 10. Nobody has achieved this score to date.

The marsh border color changes to red if the squadron is depleted to ten or fewer ducks. Losing all the squadron will put you in Duck Soup, and give you a zero score.

After the score is printed, the program will ask PLAY AGAIN? (Y/N). Enter Y to play again at the last selected level and difficulty. Enter N to choose a different level and difficulty.

The Hkey may be used if you selected level 1. Pushing the H key while playing the game will give you a quick look at the marsh. Using this key does not change the position of the duck. You are limited to only five helps per game. Remember the highest score using level 1 will be half that of level 2.

On occasion, the program will generate a maze which is impossible to cross. (Ducks don't always have it easy, do they?) Press the N key and you will move to a new marsh. The change in marshes will cost the squadron five ducks, so use the N key only if there is no way out.

Some Noteworthy Routines

The "Duck Leader" program employs several very useful TI BASIC routines. Creation of the maze is accomplished using the RND function to place the reeds and hunters (lines 620-670). The CALL GCHAR in line 800 tests the randomly determined position for characters already present on the marsh.

Line 800 checks to see if an empty space is present and, if not, calls for a new set of coordinates to be generated.

The CALL KEY routine (line 890) is used to move the duck through the marsh. Keys 68, 69, 83, and 88 determine the direction of the move. Once again the CALL GCHAR is used to test for an empty space. If found, the duck is printed in that position. If a reed or hunter is found, lines 1250-1260 execute the proper action.

Several loops and counters pause the program and keep track of the ducks. Lines 690-720 give you time to view the maze before the characters become invisible. The H key sends the program to lines 1140-1220, making the maze visible. The ducks left are counted in lines 980 and 1310. The number of marshes traversed is counted in line 1380. The score is calculated in line 1550 and the ducks saved in line 1540.

Changing the Difficulty

You may wish to make the game less difficult by making one or more of the following changes:

1. Set the final value in the FOR-NEXT loop in line 690 to a higher value to increase the length of time you have to view the maze.

2. Increase the final value for Xin the FOR-NEXT loop beginning in line 1170 to give you a longer look when you use the H key.

3. Change the 5 in line 1150 to a greater number to increase the number of times you can use the H key.

Interesting- I wonder if this is the same Douglas E Smith that did Lode Runner?

Duck Leader

Douglas E. Smith and Douglas W. Smith

This is no time to be feather-brained or daffy. There are hunters lurking in the maze of reeds ahead, and ifyou make a wrong turn, you and your friends will be duck soup. Two skill levels, ten difficulty ratings.

This game will challenge your skill and memory. Your assignment, as the leader of a squadron of 30 ducks, is to direct them through a series of marsh mazes to the safety of a duck sanctuary.

You must swim through five different mazes, each of which has invisible reed patches and hidden hunters. The reeds will send you back to the beginning of the maze. If you find a hunter, you will lose a duck. Save as many ducks as possible for a high score. Lose your squadron and it's all over.

Favorite Duck

After typing in the program, it's a good idea to list the program, check for errors, and then save a copy to tape or disk before running the program.

When you start the game, the title graphics will appear, followed by several questions.

1. LEVEL=?(1=HELP/ 2=NO HELP)

Enter 1 until you have gained confidence in your memory and problem-solving ability. With level 1 you may use the H key to quickly view the location of the reeds and hunters in the marsh (up to five times during one game).

Level 2 will double your possible score, but you cannot use the H key for help.

2. DIFFICULTY=(1-10) I

For your first game, enter 1. After some practice try the other difficulty ratings. Ratings 1-4 are easy, 5-7 are hard, and 8-10 are very challenging. The difficulty rating determines the complexity of the maze.

3. INSTRUCTIONS ? (Y/N)

Enter Y to read the instructions before the game begins. This screen briefly describes the game and the functions of the appropriate keys used for the game. It also shows the graphic characters used for the reeds, hunters, and the marsh exit.

4. FIRST NAME OF THE LEAD DUCK?

Type in your first name or the name of your favorite duck, and press ENTER. The game will then begin.

If you entered Y for instructions, they will appear first. Hit the 1 key to begin play.

At first the outline of the marsh appears, and then the positions of the reeds and hunters are indicated. You have 15 seconds to study the locations before the reeds and hunters become invisible.

Successful Maneuvers

The duck on the left side of the marsh represents your squadron. Move the duck by using the arrow keys (E, S, D, and X). You do not have to press ENTER or use the FCTN key.

If you hit the sides of the marsh or the invisible reed, your ducks will bounce back to the starting position, but you do not lose any ducks.

Meeting a hunter will result in gunfire and the loss of a duck, with the survivors returning to the start again.

The positions of the reeds and hunters do not change until you reach the exit to the next marsh.

Your goal is to maneuver your squadron to the right side of the marsh and out the exit to the next marsh. Once you have passed through the five marshes to safety, the program will congratulate you, show you the remaining ducks, and print your score.

The highest possible score is 6000 and can be achieved only at level 2 with the difficulty rating 10. Nobody has achieved this score to date.

The marsh border color changes to red if the squadron is depleted to ten or fewer ducks. Losing all the squadron will put you in Duck Soup, and give you a zero score.

After the score is printed, the program will ask PLAY AGAIN? (Y/N). Enter Y to play again at the last selected level and difficulty. Enter N to choose a different level and difficulty.

The Hkey may be used if you selected level 1. Pushing the H key while playing the game will give you a quick look at the marsh. Using this key does not change the position of the duck. You are limited to only five helps per game. Remember the highest score using level 1 will be half that of level 2.

On occasion, the program will generate a maze which is impossible to cross. (Ducks don't always have it easy, do they?) Press the N key and you will move to a new marsh. The change in marshes will cost the squadron five ducks, so use the N key only if there is no way out.

Some Noteworthy Routines

The "Duck Leader" program employs several very useful TI BASIC routines. Creation of the maze is accomplished using the RND function to place the reeds and hunters (lines 620-670). The CALL GCHAR in line 800 tests the randomly determined position for characters already present on the marsh.

Line 800 checks to see if an empty space is present and, if not, calls for a new set of coordinates to be generated.

The CALL KEY routine (line 890) is used to move the duck through the marsh. Keys 68, 69, 83, and 88 determine the direction of the move. Once again the CALL GCHAR is used to test for an empty space. If found, the duck is printed in that position. If a reed or hunter is found, lines 1250-1260 execute the proper action.

Several loops and counters pause the program and keep track of the ducks. Lines 690-720 give you time to view the maze before the characters become invisible. The H key sends the program to lines 1140-1220, making the maze visible. The ducks left are counted in lines 980 and 1310. The number of marshes traversed is counted in line 1380. The score is calculated in line 1550 and the ducks saved in line 1540.

Changing the Difficulty

You may wish to make the game less difficult by making one or more of the following changes:

1. Set the final value in the FOR-NEXT loop in line 690 to a higher value to increase the length of time you have to view the maze.

2. Increase the final value for Xin the FOR-NEXT loop beginning in line 1170 to give you a longer look when you use the H key.

3. Change the 5 in line 1150 to a greater number to increase the number of times you can use the H key.

OK... I made it bigger, but there is a slight hold at the start... is it possible to make it move more even around and around?

Hmmm, if I go this way...

DATA 32,"00"

DATA 1,2,128,"C038040000000000"

DATA 1,2,129,"0000040202020101"

DATA 2,2,130,"0101020202040000"

DATA 2,2,131,"00000000000438C0"

DATA 2,1 132,"0000000000201C03"

DATA 2,1 133,"8080404040200000"

DATA 1,1,134,"0000204040408080"

DATA 1,1,135,"031C200000000000"

Read Char nr., "pic"

Display it in a for-next loop - LINE NR CALL HCHAR(A,B,C)

Then GOSUB the time delay

Maybe even not have Char 32 in DATA as it is the same... would that make it more even?
