*updated*: people have been getting some errors trying to open
the game with the graphlink software, so I'm uploading a newer
version.

So this is what we all ever wanted: Street Fighter II for the Ti-83!
This game is not finished yet, I was planning to upload it to 
ticalc.org only after it was finished, but my computer crashed some
days ago and I lost much much work I had on this game. I was hoping
I could finish it in two weeks, but now it will take much longer, so
I released this early version so you can enjoy a little of SF2 now.

Ok, to play it you will need a Ti-83 (sorry, 83+ version not yet
available) with the ION shell installed. Since this game is far from
finished, it may crash your calculator eventually.

It's a 2-player versus game via a link cable, but you can also play
alone in the 'PRACTICE' mode (with no opponent). The only character
available is Ryu. So far he's fully functional, even with fireballs,
hurricane kicks and dragon punches.

Keys:

Punch/Select  - 2nd
Kick          - ALPHA
Exit          - CLEAR or MODE
Move          - arrows

There's only one type of kick and one type of punch. If you forgot, or
don't know how to perform special moves (like throwing a fireball),
here they are:


Fireball:

	(down) (front) (PUNCH)

Hurricane Kick:

	(down) (back) (KICK)

Dragon Punch:

	(front) (down) (front) (PUNCH)



Now, these are a little different from the arcade version, but I tried to
make it as faithful to the original game as possible. All special moves
can be performed in the air. This is why it's called 'Rainbow Edition',
after the arcade hacked version (remember?).


So, what's not finished yet?

	Well, you can't hit your opponent yet, and so the fight is never finished.

	In 2-player mode, sometimes when you try to exit, one of the calculators
	crash. So if you can't exit the game (if you are stuck in a screen that 
	tells you to press enter), press enter several times (several times, really).

	When you jump, you loose energy. This was only to test the energy bar while I
	was making the game. After you loose all your energy, it becomes full again :D

	Ti-83+ version is not working properly, this is why I didn't release it. It's
	like if the keys are in other position, I don't know. I'll fix this for the
	final version.

	*VERY IMPORTANT*: Linking your calculator to your computer using an emulator 
	to play this game in 2-player mode will not work, and might crash your 
	calculator. If for some reason you enter the 2-player mode without linking
	two calculator, press CLEAR to go back.

To start the game in 2-player mode, first start ION on both calcs, then run the game
in each calc, and then select the '2P PLAY' option on both calcs. The fight will begin.


THANKS:

I would like to thank very much Merlijn for his link tutorial, it is thanks to this
tutorial that the 2-player works!

Please tell me what you think of this game!
