Color Calc Screenshots for the Homepage

jonbush 18 May 2018 23:35

You may have noticed that all of the screenshots displayed on the home page are for BW/grayscale calculators. I would like to add several newer screenshots of programs for color calculators, such as the TI-84+CE or the Nspire CX.

The programs must be written in TI-Basic or hybrid basic (i.e. not solely assembly or C). If you know of a particularly worthy program, please nominate it in this thread, and explain why you think this is a good example of the skills fostered at TI-Basic Developer.

I would like to nominate my own Pong CE game. I learned everything I needed to know to make that game from the skill taught by the Starter Kit and questions I asked the members of this site, so I figure that it would be a good example of "skills fostered at TI-Basic Developer."

Other than that, Stick Hero CE by iPhoenix, Flow by kg583, and Flood-It CE by Michael2_3B are some other fine candidates.

Flood-It CE is a good candidate, thanks! But I would also like to nominate my Shades CE program, which is by far the most successful game I’ve ever made.

Well I thank you for the nomination…

Flood-It and Shades are also good choices. If I remember correctly there is a really nice clock program that came out recently on the Archives; doesn't do much other than exactly what it sounds like but it has nice graphics.

I would nominate the 2017 POTY winner on Cemetech, Donkey Kong CE by Rice.

Sorry, but that game is programmed in C. jonbush is asking for only TI-Basic and Hybrid Basic programs :)

I believe the programs he is asking for must also be available in the TIBD archives. After all, why would we advertise a program that isn't available for download on this site?

Many of the programs shown in the current set of images are not available for download on TI|BD, so I think it is acceptable to nominate programs that are not available in the TI|BD archives. However, the program still has to be in TI-Basic or Hybrid Basic like you said. We also need to be able to obtain permission from the file author to advertise it on the home page.

I see, that's fair…

Was anything ever done with this? What's the status on the homepage color screenshots?

Looking at the homepage…there's been no update.

The nominations so far seem sufficient to throw into the mix:

• Stick Hero CE by iPhoenix
• Pong CE by Myles_Zadok
• Flow by kg583
• Shades CE and/or Flood-It CE by Michael2_3B

It's just a matter of selecting the screenshots (I'd probably make a better set of shots myself from Flow, if we intend to select it) and putting them into the rotation.

PM me links to screenshots, and I can update that ASAP (preferably Dropbox links or Google Drive Links).
EDIT: GIFs are preferable.

EDIT 2: Also, keep in mind that the current ratio of monochrome to color screenshots is currently about 46:7, so it might take some time to even out the ratio.
