Falldown CE

About

An update/recreation of this game written completely in assembler. As such the stuff afterwards is pretty much going to be a copy of the original.

Move a ball left and right to keep it falling down through the gaps in the ever-rising floors. Don't touch the top of the screen for as long as possible and post the highest score!

Installing and Running

Use your favorite computer to calculator link software (TiLP, TIConnect, etc) to send FALLDOWN.8xp to your calculator.

To run without a shell, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on the calculator and make sure you're on the home screen.

  2. Then push the following keys in order: [CLEAR] [2nd] [0] [DOWN] [DOWN] [DOWN] [DOWN] [DOWN] [DOWN] [ENTER]

  3. Push [PRGM] then move the cursor down until FALLDOWN is selected. When you have done that, push [ENTER]

  4. Your homescreen should look something like:

    Asm(prgmFALLDOWN)

    Then push [ENTER] to start the game.
