Hello,
After 25 years, I've updated two of my games for the TI-85 graphics calculator. The TI-85 (and the TI-86) graphics calculator was probably the best most advanced 8-bit calculator from TI.
Anyhow, here is the link to my GitHub repo:
https://github.com/VroomDev/ti85
Source code is included. I was lucky to find most of my Z80 source code on an old floppy. I fixed some bugs, improved it and added more levels.
The Scrolls and Caves games for the TI-85 calculators are part of the retro gaming scene that emerged around programmable graphing calculators. These games were written in assembly language, leveraging the Z80 processor in the TI-85 for impressive performance given the hardware constraints.
Scrolls:
Scrolls is an overhead scrolling game. This game is a dungeon-crawling adventures where players explore and solve puzzles. It often involves collecting items and navigating through mazes, showcasing creative use of the calculator's limited graphical capabilities.
Caves: This is an exploration-based game, featuring side-scrolling mechanics. Players navigate through cave systems, avoiding obstacles and enemies while collecting treasures.
