Space Empires 83+
 

I have been throwing the idea for a calculator space empires game around for about 3 or 4 hours now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Does anyone here know how to program TI 83+ graphing calculators? All I know is basic and I don't think I could accomplish it using that. I already have some basic designs drawn out: Interface, Ships, Components, Facilitys, ect...

Re: Space Empires 83+
 

I think this would be a great way to get the word spread about the Space Empires series.

Re: Space Empires 83+
 

If that works for you set up youre own website and put a link into this forum and see how you go. Most people just prefer the computer Version thoguh.

Thank you, CW, Thank you!

Now I don't look so weird. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

it does sound like an interesting concept, although i don't know much about graphing calculaters, never having used one.

Re: Space Empires 83+
 

That is an interesting idea. I wish I knew how to help.

You may already know this, but these are some websites with info on the TI series calculators:

www.ticalc.org
also

I will have screen shots soon of what I have put together so far. Everything I have so far is all "concept art" and none of it is useable yet because I am still trying to grasp how to code it into an operational program.

Oh man I feel for you. But what a challenge. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Space Empires 83+
 

Ok here is my first "concept art" screenshot from my calculator.

Its crude but if its a good game will looks really matter and remember this is a graphing calc.

Top left buttons in this order are: Designs(ship), Research(beaker), Planets(planet), Colonies(building), Construction(crane), Your Empire/Diplomacy(its supposed to be a crown).

The the box with the Planet Alpha 1 in it is the box that shows what is currently selected, the other 2 are obviously the system and quadrant maps.
