Space Snake

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

Use the up/down arrows to move up and down, and go through the = signs (asteroids) to get points (you get a point when the 2 pixels above and below you are both on) (sorry about the crappy animation, jsTIfied's animated screenshot tool is glitchy. The real game looks much better (though it's more blurry)) It is short enough to type into your calculator: prgmSPCESNKE :0->I% :ClrDraw :Repeat pxl-Test(31,47 :Pxl-On(31,47 :Text(randInt(0,57),91,"= :I%+pxl-Test(30,47)pxl-Test(32,47->I% :getKey :If Ans=25 :Asm(prgmDOWN :If Ans=34 :Asm(prgmUP :Text(0,1,I% :Asm(prgmLEFT :End :Text(0,0," (10 spaces) :If I%>ZnMax :I%->ZnMax :For(X,1,9 :Asm(prgmFLASH :End :Text(51,0," SCORE: ",I% :Text(57,0," HIGHSCORE: ",ZnMax :Pause :ClrHome prgmUP :AsmPrgm214C9311409301F402EDB0EB010C00EF304CEF6A48C9 prgmDOWN :AsmPrgm213396113F9601F402EDB823010C00EF304CEF6A48C9 prgmLEFT :AsmPrgm213F960E40060CB7CB162B10FB0D20F5EF6A48C9 prgmFLASH :AsmPrgm210000115F3FEF5F4DC9 Also, it doesn't use any variables! (except for keeping track of the score)

The concept is cool and the code is nice and compact. But that comes at a price. Your graphics could be greatly improved. I also think you could get away without the use of assembly by moving the snake itself up and down by changing the Y-Axis coordinates. You would have to use a variable to store the height, but it would greatly improve your graphics and increase speed a tiny bit.

Doesn't work?

12Me21 09 Jun 2015 12:45

The code doesn't work. the Y variable gets reset to 0, which immediatly causes a domain error, also there is no Pxl-On command. Also, the ZnMax code should be outside the main loop. Also, your code doesn't seem to improve the graphics…

Anyway, it needs assembly to shift the screen left, so the "asteroids" (= signs) will move.

the code for up, down, left, and flash is found underneath the main program.it is in hex assembly, so just type everything you see next to the program down below.

check to make sure you put in the code right. Tends to fix the problem!

Please note that this was over a year ago (I tend to make the same mistake as well, just look out for the date on the post).

EDIT: To improve game performance, while playing, take away the Text at 0,0. And, delete the Text for the 10 spaces. The speed is amazingly faster!
