I made a number guessing program using xlib and anything I could do to attempt to make a space wasting game. It is in TI BASIC. There is settings. The inverse screen doesn't work and I need some suggestions on what settings to add besides difficulty. I might post the source.


update: Ironically, I optimized it out of habit

add everything from animations to extreme guessing (1 digit to 34879328579475725 digits)

I was thinking of making it like two people talking. The guessing part is a good idea (in my opinion)! I think I could make that as the "easy" difficulty as a joke. Everyone that tests this gets the number in under 10 tries. My max. record is 30 tries.

Also add a feature in which they cannot guess the number right (extreme mode) It will be fun, looking at the user's faces when they've tried every single number in the known world and still cannot get it right.

imagine the look on their faces if I used random decimals (rand)
guess: 1
too high
guess:0
too low
... (rage quit)

Or exact strings. Like "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy bat" Then they will quit before they try. Or you can set a constant string every time so only you can reset it.

hm... I am updating with my calc sitting in front of my computer refreshing the page.

or even make it super slow.

apparently the default is easy(1-10), but it swaps to hard (1-1000) when you play. Let's call that a feature, not a bug.

Update:
Here's the source after your features(note: inverse does not work. Help me plz?)[I used source coder]:

Code:

There is a Flappy 2048 clone. Why not a Flappy Number Guesser? (You have to guess the number from 1 to 30 before you can jump, then once you do, you can jump as much as you want until you crossed the next pipe. Once you crossed a pipe, you need to guess another number before you can jump again.

Dear me, that IS a waste of space.

Small trick: "For(theta,1,500:End" can be switched out for "rand(43)" – that should be accurate to within one second over 100 passes.

try and make it so you cannot end program without guessing correctly.

1. The theta part is for a delay(think that's obvious)
2. I have just started learning TI BASIC (sort of)
3. I have no idea how to do some of these.

Also, I have no idea how to make that with BASIC. I'm thinking of using sprites to do something. Have to work out xlib first

Why not Axe?

Why not assembly? Could be a great learning experience!

Yeah... I'll try to learn that. I am still struggling with axe and don't have the proper software(and probably wont get it) to program Assembly. I learn most of my programming by reading manuals.

Well, Axe is for people experienced with BASIC. It has many more features optimized for speed. However, most of my DIY Axe programs crash the entire calc. Not recommended without downloading the app for TI-83+.

Because it has a command list.

I do have the app and a printed out manual

UPDATE:
I might need some help for the axe version.
I think I fixed some bugs with the BASIC version.
