CMonster for TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition / TI-84 Plus CE by Patrick Davidson eeulplek@hotmail.com http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~pad/ ######## Introduction This is a breakout-style game for the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition and TI-84 Plus CE calculators. To install on your calculator, you need only send the one calculator file in the archive (CMONSTER.8XP) to your calculator using TI Connect CE (or other software that communicates with the calculator). If you are using TI-Connect CE to transfer the game, please note that you should send it using the Calculator Explorer section. It cannot be opened by the open menu item or in the Program Editor section. This game is a plain asm program. Run it by entering the command Asm(prgmCMONSTER on the home screen. Press 2nd and then 0 to display the CATALOG menu from which you can select Asm( from near the top. Then use PRGM to display the programs list from which you can select prgmCALCUZAP. It is also possible, though not necessary, to start the game from a shell. ######## Controls Title screen controls: Press number keys from 1 (slowest) to 7 (fastest) to select speed and begin - Note that you will get higher scores with faster speeds CLEAR exits the game ALPHA skips to the high scores In-game controls: Left/right arrows move the paddle DEL exits the game P pauses the game, STAT resumes - Note that the game prevents you from cheating by pausing too often ENTER saves the game and exits ######## Version history Version Date Lines Bytes Description 91 08May13 583 1784 First release 152 08May13 788 2670 Increase to 9 levels Added scoring Added multiple lives Fix paddle flicker 195 10May13 997 3187 Added speed selection Added pause button Fixed duplicate paddle when reaching new level Enlarged ball and adjusted/fixed bouncing 196 11May13 999 3191 Includes executable with release Allow exiting while paused Allow assembly with spasm 269 12May13 1409 4744 Clears screen on exit Added power-ups Added save game 309 18May13 1497 3695 Improved bonus collision detection Increased to 10 levels Optimized image storage to save space Implemented clipping on screen bottom 345 29Mar15 1759 4843 Increased to 12 levels Added high score table Now requires Doors CSE Decreased initial lives to 3 Increased speed on top 2 speed settings 373 12May15 1924 5911 Increased to 14 levels Added sine scroll message on title screen 477 17May15 2514 5914 Added TI-84 Plus CE version 489 17May15 2569 5911 Fixed 2 speed option Fixed bonus drops on TI-84 Plus CE Fixed text erasure on TI-84 Plus CE Enabled saving game on TI-84 Plus CE 518 24May15 2606 6056 Adjusted bonus drops to increase difficulty Speed is now controlled more precisely Increased to 17 levels 520 26May15 2632 6183 Increased to 19 levels 6528 Scoring now adjusted by bounce count 605 9Dec15 2895 6887 Added compression for TI-84 Plus CE version 5234 Increased to 23 levels Now auto-exits if idle a few minutes ######## Acknowledgements Thanks to the following: Kerm Martian for the first TI-84 Plus C program, and the TI-84 Plus C emulator Lionel Debroux for pointing out some bugs Brandon Wilson for the useful documentation on WikiTI Kirk Meyer for Lite86 II which is used to compress the game
