I take it this challenge is TI-84+/SE only?
Where can I sign up?
I think Socks wants everybody to either leave a post in this topic or add their name to the challenges page.
Welcome to TI-Basic Developer!
Yeah, just edit your name in.
And, I suppose that since the 83/+ don't have a clock, that would exclude them. Although, they could write a psuedo-clock code that would simulate a clock, even if not accurately.

Thanks for signing me up. I have two questions. How do I post a finished program on here?
Also, what do you get for winning? (A framed screenshot like on TICalc.org????)
You could upload the file directly to the challenges page (if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will see a toolbar and a files button), but you need to be a site member to do that. We haven't really discussed a prize for winning, but a framed screenshot is a possibility.
Well, you do win bragging rights (not here, that would be arrogant. To your friends who know nothing about the subject).
What if we had made a small TI-83 program that only the Site-Admin's have, which displays a picture of a crown (or chocolate cake, as one person has previously won) and a list of winners for each challenge (not a description of the challenge, just a "Challenge 1 - burr"). Or maybe it would have a challenge description?
The idea is that it is an EXCLUSIVE program, which isn't posted up on the forums, and is personally e-mailed by one of the site-admins to the winner. That makes the program special because of it's rarity and exclusativity.
But then the program would be out of date to early winners (their program would show all program winners until the one they won). So perhaps make a portal or page on the site that gives access to only the winners of the challenge, so that they may retrieve the updated file at their will, and it still remains exclusive.

I'll give it a shot.
I uploaded my analog clock submission to the challenges page.
I had so many problems trying to run your program it is not funny.
I don't know what is wrong, exactly, but when I try to transfer the program, apparantly my OS needs to be updated to transfer. This is annoying because I do have the latest OS installed. Then I get tons of syntax errors when trying to run the program (after re-saving the file, and transferring successfully). And then domain errors.
I don't know what to do exactly. Perhaps you could re-test everything and re-upload?

What kind of calculator do you have? His game uses some of the time commands, which are only available on the TI-84+ and TI-84+SE.
Pft, that is most likely the reason why. Shame that TI couldn't integrate those commands and hardware into previous models. Another shame that I can't ever see the program. Oh, TI-83 Plus, my faithful calculator *tenders to calculator and strokes the side in an effort to make the calculator feel comfortable*.
Could you get a screenshot of it and post that?

It's posted now. Check it out. The second hand is the same size as the minute hand, but you can tell the difference by looking at the digital time on the side or by the fact that the second hand moves obviously faster.
It looks like a nice program :) I hope you don't mind, but I changed your image to a PNG because that only takes up a fraction of the memory that a BMP uses.
If you wanted to be really economical, you'd change it to a monochrome PNG instead of a 24-bit PNG :-)
That save option isn't available in MS Paint :D
Sure it is. Go to Image, Attributes… and select Black and White. Then you'll be able to save things in monochrome.
Yeah, but from what I read, that forces all pictures you work on from that point to be in b&w until you change the setting back.
Besides, GIMP is cooler than Paint! GO GIMP!
lol i guess I just happen to be the only clueless moron here, but where are the screen shots located?
Under the challenges page, click files, and the .png file is the screenshot.

If the clock was supposed to be judged yesterday and RandomProductions has no entry, then…….what?
Eh… let's let him finish. I'll PM him and ask him if he's planning on finishing it.

Hey Socks, can you use the challenge on BCS here, too?
What do you mean by that? You mean, bring them here and have them worked on here? I think that would be a little hard to pull off.
/Socks
Sorry, I gave up. I could have re-lit the earth's core if it went cold when I was trying to come up with the perfect circle. I could have been a replacement sun for 5 solar systems at the same time when trying to get the hour hand to work.
I decided to quit before I could warm up the universe.
Hi Guys,
I just thought that if I entered the competition that perhaps we could get along to the next one =D
I uploaded my TI-83plus file (although the program is PERFECTLY cable under the TI-83) as CLOCK-JAMES_KANJO.zip so you could look at it.
The programs were supposed to be judged on size, but I think it is worth considering mine as it is only (about) 105 bytes larger and I wrote functionality of the actual clock (TI-83s don't have inbuilt clock functions). At least I was able to show that it IS possible to program a clock into the TI-83 =D
I look forward to the next challenge!
Cheers ~ James Kanjo
EDIT: Sorry, I've just updated the file. In the previous .zip I had forgotten to set the Window variables. An added 37 bytes to the program so now there is about 142 bytes difference
Nice. I like how you made the seconds increase. Also, next challenge should be liek a racing game =D. We should start making games and programs that people will use often.
What exactly is going on with this challenge?
lol I think you win but nobody will update it. Nice program by the way =D
