Yeah! I downloaded Chipper's Challenge for android, and quickly loved the tile-based puzzle-solving gaming.
How hard would some mutation of this game be on the TI? For added challenge, use only 8x8 pixel tiles. The screen-updating might take a toll on performance, but I wouldn't see it to be impossible.
And please, handicaps! Like turning off timer option. Or, for the really crazy, an undo move option. heh.

I play it occasionally on my Atari Lynx, and I love it. I thought about converting it at some point, but never got too far with the planning. This would be a good game to develop using the Spectra libraries, or even Turbo Forth...

Haven't played the game yet, but Tile-based games should translate well as long as there's not too much validation going on (at least in BASIC) or compile it. I ported Bloxorz http://www.coolmath-...xorz/index.html to TI Basic for one of the contests here and it was pretty performant (Bloxo-TI-z) in BASIC and a little bit better when compiled and tuned.
