I've browsed through some of the pages, apparently I never participated in this thread so long ago..
Anyways, I'm TIFreak8x, I've been around since the earliest days of Cemetech, and a retired admin of the space.
I started back in 1998 with a TI-83, learning how to make things with BASIC menus, and eventually created a game called
Age of Darkness, all text and menu based, buggy, but still fun to poke around. I later upgraded to an 83+ and an 86, from which I found the beauty of an assembly game, Final Fantasy. It inspired me to learn how to move things around the graph screen to mimic what I saw in that game, and hence
Age of Darkness which was my first animated game, along with taking on a challenge I saw at Basic Guru tutorial page claiming games could be made without using the first Lbl or Goto.
From there, I went on to make the above games on other graphing calculators, along with other programs and utilities. As new calculators emerged, I added and upgraded older projects to play on the newer units, which is where we sort of are now with the release of the Evo. You can find updates of those projects
here.
I know to some people here, I'm a fairly new name, until you start looking at my profile. I assure you, I've been around the site for a long time, I just suffered burn out (with programming and life in general) for a long while, and am recently finding that spark that once again drives me to write fun things for graphing calculators
🙂
I look forward to seeing all the new projects and meeting all the new people that have made Cemetech their online home!
