And that’s it for April’s Projects of the Month. Be sure to vote in the poll for your favorite completed project.
- Astro-Calc: linkjt9 has released a stunning new local PvP game for the CE, pitting two players in a space battle to the death. Customizable controls and skins are to come, so be sure to give this one a play!
- Data Converter v1.0: CarlosTI84 has released a unit converter for the HP Prime, rife with conversions for various bit measures.
- graphy (Column-Major graphx): ZERICO2005 continues their work on graphy, showing off their code in (now packed in library form) with an OIRAM demo that removes diagonal screen tearing. Better yet, you can now play as Luigi!
- RPG Starter Kit CE: tifreak8x has completed porting their first RPG Starter Kit to the CE, packed with mapmaking and character interaction utilities. TI-BASIC coders old and new alike looking to make an RPG should definitely give it a try.
- SD Picture Viewer [BASIC] [TI-84 Plus CE]: TheLastMillennial has remade their somewhat silly TI-BASIC picture viewer using Python as the backend, with generated code improvements that accelerate the rendering time from several minutes to slightly fewer several minutes.
- TI-85 Scrolls Caves games updated: After a mere three decades, cbusch has updated two of their original games for the TI-85, fixing bugs and adding new levels. These retro classics both deserve a play!
- sendkey: enabling new possibilities in AMS BASIC: twisted_nematic57 has released a utility program for 68k BASIC which enables reading arbitrary keypresses during execution. 68k enthusiasts would do well to check it out and see what new stuff they can make with this tool.
- Sudoku: Potchkee has released an update for their Sudoku game on the Casio Prizm (fx-CG), with smoother drawing and a dark mode option. Give it a play!
- TI-81 ViewScreen modded for reading screen signals using a logic analyzer: rootboy and TIny_Hacker have continued investigating the TI-81 ViewScreen protocol. They hope to soon read screen data directly, so keep an eye out!
