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. |

What the community thinks:
as some of you may have noticed, I released a new orientation on Pong yesterday. It is vastly better than previous iterations with an opponent size wise, and has the ability to "spin" the ball, which adds a certain twist. I have also added a difficulty setter, so that you can make the game a bit harder for those more Pong attuned. I originally was going to make this as a proof of concept for a pinball game, but got sidetracked and I am now going to restart that project. Questions and comments on algorithms would be much appreciated.
The spin seems to have a problem sometimes. Sometimes, the the AI will hit the ball and it goes horizontal forever.

You could apply a bit of randomness to the spin to fix that.
I know about the AI spin issue, I already noticed that and fixed it. The AI can no longer unintentionally spin the ball, so it doesn't straighten it. That's a good idea though weregoose. I could definitely go for another use of the rand command in my program.
edit: also, sorry if my pics look fake. Their won't be a run indicator because my ti connect screenshot taker only works while the calc is paused, just like multiplayer programs. :-(
