int( make pixel detection on the ship itself... Because coordinates are not integer to give a better effect of movement. 
Or I could integer both pixel detection and coordinates. I can test to see how well it fits.

Easy. To collect items you have to run over it, of course. And it will be just 1 item per map...
I implemented (quite brutally) a fuel item, multi-maps and tries. ^^ The way multi-maps are made, it arises interesting and fun ideas. You can change or pass the variables you want from the previous level.
Ship becomes a little bit irresponsive. Also a little slower but that doesn't bother me, though. eh I have to update movement variables to balance things...
Now I need 4x4 items and maps, 5 at least. |

thats not that bad irresponsive makes it harder

is 4x4 enough to make a visibile diference you could just use letters
sorry for not using quote tags i couldnt find them.

| not long ago (2 weeks ago) i was proving to my friend u can have a pixel bouncing up and down. and i named it Rocket. it soon became a .. mini project for Lunar Lander but i havn't been too into it... Galandros if you want, i could help you with this project (i have no idea if i can actually help). but i'l try to make my own version too XD |

while playing thee game i relized the speed detection on the demo is off the ship can be going pretty fast and still get a succes but in the game u must be going relly slow

| This is because the size of the Graph. 1 pixel in the graph can be like.. 5 points. so i was thinking to myself "how about if your ship reaches the middle or quarter of the screen, and when that happens you zoom in.. i think that would work. |

| that is how it worked in the real game as you got close to a landing pad you zooomed in. but wouldmt you have to redraw all the levels to zoom? |

| when i tried the Zoom.. i dunno why but my Velocity(or whatever it's called) Went to 0. so your Falling speed went to 0 and had to build up again... * i have no idea why this happened. but i will look into it if i have time. |

| uhhh?.. not sure what your asking.. butttt... what i did was like when the Ship went lower then ... 1/3 of the screen. Xmax.. or was it Ymax.. goes to like 40.. rather then the normal 95(95 is my default setting..) |

Good ideia, I will use text. I would use it anyway to erase the object after collected...

I did a labyrinth like map. It is really cool. And this game can be by far more challenging than others because of the TI-BASIC getkey... It only allows you to use the engine to one direction.
And I changed the formula for the speed boost made by the engine. It correspond to a physics formula, and much better!
@TI-newb
Go ahead with yours. In the final we can compare the final game to see what is more fun. I would like to do without seeing others.
My has some really original ideas to maps...
And in the final we could improve a bit both from the code from each other...

Small... 558 the main program
But 229 bytes in another program that stores all data of variables, levels and some level events code.
I didn't do all items events. But I am doing it right now.
About pixeltest in the demo, it is broken (just tested bellow iirc)... It only served as place holder for the real pixeltest.
After I got all the items is question of optimizing, balance even more variables, do levels, then do levels and do levels. xD
If someone likes to do maps, that need "smart" imagination to make them fun, this is good suggestion. I just love this kind of map making. The best game I ever played for map making is Stronghold. I loved that game because of map editing and this game will be the 2nd because the engine was made by me. xD
EDIT: talking about map making. It is very easy to add code for things like updating the pontuation, adding consume after passing a map/level or another try. So easy, that I made it in 10 seconds.
When I get bored of making homework or studying, I advance a little in this and other projects. 
So progress is relatively slow for a small game. I could do this in just some days if I had no other thing.
When I release this, it will be the finished game with a good set of maps and documentation to make maps.
--
After this I mighty try a tower defence game in 4x4 ASCII. What you think?
Someone some time ago had interest and it is another fun flash game.
I will release this 2 games in TI|BD (it deserves this games) and ticalc (just for backup, I don't expect great interest).
And yes, I am getting proud of this game and even of the ideas for the upcoming tower defence. ^^

Tower defense is great but keeping track of all the enimines will be hard... the game sounds like its going great
I was also going to suggest u realease ti TI|BD

The problem is not the keeping track but the speed it gets when keeping of a lot of enemies...
But I have an opportunity to try to push TI-BASIC even further... Even if I need to disable most graphic animation, it can be a game.
I remembered one thing: I am testing it in my TI-84+SE. Speed will drop miserably in a TI-83+...
I will need someone to adjust variables there... I don't know friends with TI-83+ (just one TI-83).
Or an emulator is good enough for that? |

For Tower Defence:
Could you load the spot of a new enemy to a list? Like:
If ...New Attacker
94->L1(1+dim(L1 ;0-94 pixls accrost the screen
Later move enemies and check if any have gotten accrost the screen:
L1-1->L1
If 0=L1(1
...You Lose
If you attack and it lands at a certain pixl A:
If min(A=L1
...Attacker Hit
It's not that hard... |

Uhhh Lols Galandros... Atm it's a pixel.. and i don't know if i will be working on it much. If i get time i definetly will.. but right now im fasinated by the graphix CelticIII can create.. or convert from numbers into Pixels *amazed*.. If i make the Lunar lander game though. i think it might use CelticIII...
*btw i will tell you my progress(when i even start it again). |

*btw i will tell you my progress(when i even start it again).[/quote]
I started with 2 lines that made a rectangle :P
CelticIII is cool. But I would need to read a lot of documentation and practise to get good results. And I don't have time for that. 
After this, an ASCII tower defence and my math stuff, I can get somewhat realized in TI-BASIC. Maybe time to pass to asm. And then other platform (Symbian cellphone dev caught my attention)
Lately times seems very precious thing... I had an idea that there was time for everything but now I discovered how dev is entertaining and motivating. ([rant]bah I know better words in my mother language, I just don't find a good translation[/rant])
But for other side, coding maybe is not as much motivating for professional choice as other things (investigation)... I am really confused...   |
