SUPER BASEBALL 2003
by Steven Polchinski

Game description:
I have played all the BASIC baseball games and Baseball '99 for Mirage on ticalc.org for the TI-83/TI-83+, and in my opinion, Super Baseball 2003 is better than the rest by far. SB 2003 includes two teams (AL and NL all-stars) with a 9-man lineup and 4-man pitching staff for each team, and both 1P and 2P options. Additional options include # of innings,  CPU difficulty, and five pitching difficulties (ranging from an easy mode for those starting out to a very difficult mode which I have yet to master). Unlike all other baseball games I have seen, Super Baseball 2003 uses two simultaneous batting views: (1) overhead, and (2) from the catcher's view, which is shown in Pic7. The batting mode is incredibly addicting -- in easy mode, there are only three possible pitches: fastball, curveball, and screwball. This expands to seven in the difficult mode (each pitcher has his own individual assortment of pitches): fastball, curveball, screwball, slider, splitter, knuckleball, and a wicked change-up. Reviews welcome. [pshyft@mail.com]

Notes:
BASEBALX, ZBALL1, ZBALL2, ZBALL3, and ZBALL4 are all needed to play the game.
You do not need to send Pic7/Pic8 to your calculator, as they will be drawn and stored at the start of the game.
Run BASEBALX to start.
You may want to darken the resolution on your calculator to see the ball better.
Does not work very well on TI-83+ Silver, but is good on everything else.
This game was conceived and programmed over the course of a month, primarily in my English Lit. class.
