I started in v12, so I never went without physics. Sadly, I never decided it was worth it to buy it until v19.

I remember more about the forums, though. Back when I first joined, there were WAAAAY more maps being made, and now it's more like a ping-pong of old maps being bounced around the front page.

Oh yeah, and I legitimately downloaded the Old-School Rifle, Mininuke, and Homing Vector from the add-ons page.

I cannot describe how much I wanted this made.

I... I love you.

EDIT: Yeah, that was a large bump, but it needed it.

It doesn't work for me. Maybe it only runs on Snow Leopard.




By the way, has anyone tried Powder Game? It's the one on the japanese site.

Who really needs a fancy calculator? I can accomplish the same with a 1$ hue calculator from the dollar store.

Really?

You can graph and play games on a $1 calculator?

/sarcasm
I'm not looking for a TI-30-whatever, I had one of those.
For a lot of schools the standard is a TI graphing calculator.


Oh, and I love the ticalc database.

Off Topic / Calculators

« on: January 30, 2011, 04:37:16 PM »

I'm looking for a used TI calculator (because I'm cheap and don't feel like wasting $100 on a current one) and I don't know what to choose.

I want to basically know all the pros and cons of the major TI calculators, such as:

How much memory does it have?
How much backwards compatability does it have?
Is it easy to lie it flat and not fumble around for keys?
How do the buttons feel? (Stupid question, I know, but, for instance, the TI-83 has mushy buttons, whereas the 84 has very "clicky" types)
If it runs apps or games, how well do they run?
How is its battery life?
What courses is it good for?
And, most importantly, is it complicated to use or straightforward?

Please, only post serious stuff about them if you own one or have used one for a while.
I also intend for any other people trying to look for a calculator to use this as a reference.

Here are pics of the calculators I'm talking about:

TI-83+


TI-84+ (Silver Edition is, well, Silver)


TI-86 (TI-85 has square arrow keys)


TI-89 Titanium (TI-89 looks a lot like TI-83+)


TI-Nspire CAS (regular doesn't say CAS on it, hurr durr)

Bump

By the way, you have another imposter. There was a guy on the forums called "lcyGamma" (with an L) hosting the Isar (or Lsar, I don't know which.) He literally had the save file, so a whole bunch of bricks were missing. Plus, he didn't know how to operate the generator, so clicking anything turned it red. He then banned me with the reason "NEVER UNDERESTEMATE ME BWAHAHAHHASAHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The only thing I did was say "Wait, you're Lcy Gamma...".
On RTB, he has masqueraded as you many times under LcyGamma, Icey Gamma, Icygamma Clone, and others.
Just be on the lookout.

My Mac works fine, but a long time ago it developed a problem with large games. It will freeze up every hour or so. Blockland and other thing work fine on my Powerbook, though. (albeit slow)

Ontopic: sounds fun. I'm seeing TRON tonight, so I'm going to get some cool build ideas.

It showed up, and I joined. It kept sending punch packets and then it timed out. But it worked.
Then it disappeared again. It only disappears when I quit Blockland and get back on. Ptobably should have seen that coming.

Anyway, thanks guys. Should I lock the topic?

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Brick Playertype

« on: January 07, 2011, 08:15:10 PM »

Why would you be a no-move brick player?

The only reason would be to hide or spy, and when you turn back into a person, you are instantly found out.

I second the idea of a ghost-brick movement system. My only concern is looking. Maybe you could make an invisible head node and have the body rotate 90 degrees if you look more than 45 degrees to one direction.

Don't leave, Modify button!

It disappeared. The server's gone.

I'll try again to see if it happens again.

Help / Cannot connect to my own server

« on: January 06, 2011, 07:01:22 PM »

I just set up a dedicated server called "Delta's City Freebuild", but when I went back into Blockland to go into it, all it said was "connecting to [IP]". I've had this problem before with other servers, but I don't know how to fix it if no admins are in it (I am the only one so far).

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Tool ideas

« on: January 06, 2011, 01:47:23 AM »

Inb4childs bedroom build + Ceiling print bricks + Star prints.

Epic space ceiling.

I remember having those as a kid... :3

Ontopic:

Undo wand: DO WANT
it would be nice if it also undid deletions. Today an admin was trying to clear some spam next to my build and accidentally destructo-wanded part of my build (he was on the roof, but hit roof instead.)

Which leads into the second idea: Yes. Clearspam doesn't work with spam on a baseplate, so deleting spam bricks in general (only a vehicle spawn or brick for a tool on a baseplate) would be very useful. And to not target regular builds w/o baseplates.

Finally: Glow in the dark bricks: maybe. Not needed, but we could have a paint can spray thay makes it that eerie glowing pale green.

And then: an addition. The baseplate wand: Puts a baseplate under your build and duplicates it above it. Might require the duplicator wand. Very useful if you made something in the bedroom and don't like having empty space below you in slate.
