This was cool but what unearthly perspective transform method are you using on the cube? The angles are all crazy-like.

I wanted to use 4x4 block rendering for the fire (instead of 8x8), but I didn't have enough continuous memory to store the values.

There's been a _lot_ nicer Ti-8x demos released, so I feel kind of bad that this won. Maybe that should be some incentive for Europeans to come ;)

Anyways, I have something of a surprise planned that I think will please quite a few :)

Btw, the link is a video file.
It's not really a cube, one side is a bit longer. Instead of using the standard 4x/z and 4y/z for the object perspective (like I did for the starfield), I use some wierd linear interpolation that makes it look like it morphs a bit. Personally, I thought it looked cooler.
There's also a bug in the same scene involving flashing lines, but I spent hours and wasn't able to pinpoint it.

Well surely it ain't the best TI-85 release and it has bugs but it's ok. The cube thing sucks and using rather large 'pixels' for fire and rotozoomer sucks also. The hardware should do better than that. Mostly it bothers me that you're adding the music to the video and it doesn't come from the device itself.

Anyway no thumb (up) until you release the freaking binary also. What the heck is with the video only releases :)

Calculators must be useful for something... else.

Nice (even if some effects were too blocky for 6Mhz Z80) and I love the music cover from one of my favorite A1200 demo!

who cares if the cube is a cube...I liked it.

awesome... now release the binaries. :-)

Hell, I hope the sound as not produced by the original hardware - that would mean they missed the purpose of a calculator ;-)
The idea is cool and the port of the best demo tune ever (Love) is excellent.

JAC, the sound was added during the video editing. The TI-85 has only about 28k of free mem, so there wouldn't be enough space :)
It is technically possible to produce sound on the Ti-8x calculators, but in all honesty I havn't really studied that aspect at all, and it surely must be horribly limited. I only know of 1 game that was ever produced for the 85 that had sound (zpong).
Music was added during video-editing to add some spirit, and because watching a prod with no sound is kind of boring, even if some purists may consider that cheating for a wild entry :)

Nezbie: I was going to ask, because if you managed to actually play that tune (even stand-alone) on the TI-85, I would... well, that'd be the best hardware hack of all time.

Now, I'm pretty sure you COULD do that on one of the TI calculators with the 68k processors... ticalc.org has such a program; you could probably hack together a primitive soundtracker.

Anyway, without the music, this isn't too spectacular, but I'm gratified to see something being done, so... thumb!

Youtube here

It looks like someone is trying to sell ringtones with it:

Can't blame them, I love the music :-)
(What pisses me off though is they cut the endscroller with the group credit)
