OK guys, remember how I told you that somebody stole my calculator and that contra was hurt to a point in which it would take me forever to return? well the thing is, My friend Brandon was walking down the hall and spotted my patriotic colored calculator, in a mesh pocket of some freshmans bookbag. Well knowing it was mine he strait pick pocketed the kid and bounced. Sadly he did not get a good look at the kids face, so I cant beat him up, but most inportant of all is that everything that was on the calc when I lost it, was still there. Meaning that Contra is restored!!
YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! 
I got the level editor back now and its so close to being finished, once it is done, I will be able to create levels so fast, meaning a much faster release date for Contra final release.
FInally I got some good luck, and Contra is back on track now. I kinda became inactive b/c I was so discouraged about all the wasted work I did. But now that it is all back, it is back on track and I am ready to announce a release date. I am still deciding and discussing a possible release date and I will update u asap when I come to a decision!!!!
BTW: Im making alot of progress, really fasy |

I'd like to see the look on that punk's face when he realized he got jacked. Serves him right. How'd your friend learn to pick pocket? It seems like a useful skill. :: Evil Laughter :: 
Oh yeah, congratulations on the revival of Contra! |

is losing your calc not just stupid because it cost more than €100? For broke people like me, that's just a disaster, because i'll never have the money to buy a new one  |

| I once left my calc in a classroom completely filled with people from all kinds of grades and classes (we have a little study period thing during which there are no classes and you're free to go to a classroom and make some homework, after which classes continue again) and the teacher wasn't even there, but when I got back an hour later my calc was unharmed. |

| My general rule is "what goes around comes around".... But yeah they are a little outragously priced, kinda not fair to lower budget families... |

Yeah, I was really lucky to get my calculator back. The guy that found it is a pretty good friend of mine, and was addicted to playing contra, which may of been the reason he found it.
I have spent little on calculators when comparing to how many I have:
I have 4 Ti-83 Plus's, 1 Ti-83, 1 Ti-83 Plus SE, and 1 Ti-89. I only payed for the SE and the 89.
Quote: I never spent a single dollar on a TI calculator, except for the thousands of batteries I go through.
You should get rechargable AAA batteries, thats what I have and whenever one runs out I just charge them while Im sleeping and walah!!! brand new!!
-----------------------------------
CONTRA UPDATE!!
-Added snipers, but did not really like them that much, so I added flame thrower enemies, that have 3 range, look awesome and have an animated fire just like the RL enemies. Basically the RL enemies are now the hardest in the game
-Worked on trying to optimize my code a bit, Ive prolly cleared around 300 bytes so far...Still working on it....
-I added an awesome feature to the level boss, instead of just shooting non-stop, he will get mad and his eyes will glow, then he will fire two lasers on all the platforms, basically meaning, when you see his eyes glow, RUN!!! I still have to tweak it a bit to make it less hard and more responsive, but it adds a great deal of fun to the boss
-Trying to make the level editor clean up the lists it makes, and trying to add the Save, load feature
*Although I said the contra engine was done, I was wrong, It has alot of stuff to be done to it to make it finished and is basically what I am still working on, once that is done, its levels levels levels!!!*

I think it will be awesome if he did that, but I think he should finish the basic program before he does the higher language.  |
