Source Seekers - TI-84+
See the summary. The farthest I've gotten so far is the Help screen and the map selection screen.

» Source Seekers - TI-83
Summary:
I got a brilliant idea to create a Dungeon Looter/Collection game, for both the TI-84+ and TI-84+CSE calculators, using the graph screen without color. The screenshots are taken on a TI-84+CSE, and although they sometimes show color, the game doesn't when running it on a TI-83 and up. The gameplay is focused less on combat and more towards collecting "rare artifacts", each map with a progressing difficulty level. Some levels are puzzles, but others will require fighting to obtain the artifact in question.
I have quite a lot of work put into this! Go to this page to get the more recent updates when they are first published: http://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/(to-be-named)-dungeon-crawlercollection-game/
I had a problem with my custom menu screen, but I fixed it :)

I am currently trying to create the maps. Thanks to an amazing suggestion by Josiah W on the omnimaga forums, I can create it on the Homescreen, and keep compatibility bewteen the two calculator models ^_^
Edit: Changed the title screen a little bit. Some issues that I had with this ate up a lot of time, so I may not get it done right away.

Yup. Setting Xmin to 0 and DeltaX to 1. If Xmax=94, it's an 83/84/+/SE. Else, it's a +C.

:Pause "(BUY NO MEALS)":ClrHomeThat was complete genius, by the way. Did you see the newer version 0.5, with a few fixes and stuff on the omnimaga forum?
For anyone who has no clue about what I'm talking about, here is the link.

Aw, it was nothing. I actually stole borrowed that from the page Electromagnet8 talks about below.
And I'll check out the newer version.
EDIT: Some special color commands like TextColor() and all that biz might prove problematic. So, yes, the only cross-compatible solution would be homescreen graphics. Sorry. :/

:Pause "(BUY NO MEALS)":ClrHomeI actually heavily use this technique for text on the graph screen.
As for creating cross compatible programs that run on both monochrome and color versions of the calculators, you can refer to this link: www(dot)cemetech(dot)net/forum/viewtopic(dot)php?t=8921
Here's an example from one of my programs.
The original code is from here: tibasicdev(dot)wikidot(dot)com/text-wrapper
This is at the beginning of my program.
Xmin+|E2DeltaX<Xmax->|NClrDraw
DispGraph
DelVar RDelVar CFor(I,1,length(Str1
If C<(91+165|N) and "^^o"!=sub(Str1,I,1
Then
If " "!=sub(Str1,I,1
Text(R,C,sub(Str1,I,1
C+6+3|N->C
If I<length(Str1)-1:Ans-2(" "!=sub(Str1,I,1->C
Else
DelVar C
R+6+6|N->R
End
C+4(C>(89+165|N->C
I-(C>(89+165|N->I
EndThanks Electromagnet!
Many updates past, I'm now in 0.7.5, have a site where I keep track of updates/history of this game, 4 maps, a storyline added, bugs fixed, and sluggish code optimized.

(account deleted)Cant visit link; its restricted. I'm at school at 2nd lunch right now.
Please look at the last date of the thread. This is almost 3 years old. Also, just because it's restricted doesn't mean that it doesn't work (Not that I would ever expect a link which is 3 years old to work anymore, cause files are sometimes removed)
