Pixel Joint Forum: TI-86 WIP/Gallery

Message

Hello!  After lurking on and off on this site for several years, I finally decided to submit something of my own.  What I've posted below are the works I made on my TI-86 graphing calculator back when I was in high school around '03.  Rather than doing any actual homework, I'd spend my time trying out different patterns and learning how to draw and shade using two colors.  While it's been years since I last drew on my calculator, I felt it would be a shame to let the internal battery die and lose everything I did in school, so I thought i'd submit them here for review.  If you guys like them, I'd be willing to devote time to the craft again.  Thank you for your time.

PS, most of these are/were WIP but a few I considered complete.

*This cliff was the first one I made.  Still kinda proud of it.

	1 thease are really neat. some could be improved, others are great. 2. you should try grayscale... (WHAT?!?) yes, grayscale. byt you'd have to learn assembly programming. my brother came up with a way to use an assembly program to shutter different colored images on the screen, utilizing the poor displays lag to create grayscale. it was quite effective, and really neat at the time. however i find calculators much outdated, when i could just pick up a PDA of some sort and do the same thing in color.

	Thank you. I'd seen the grayscale mods back in the day but I was always afraid of bricking. I think my next goal will be a conversion of these 1-bit images up to 4-color gameboy images.
