Description

Omnimaga was founded on September 1st 2001 by Kevin Ouellet (also known as DJ Omnimaga) as an off-line calculator programming team that released various TI-83 Plus BASIC RPGs such as the Illusiat, Reign Of Legends and Reuben Quest series. The team made it online only on March 2004 with a forum, but the team was dissolved shortly afterward. On April 2004, a TI calculator RPG website opened under the name Omnimaga, including all past programming team releases and other community RPGs. From September 2004 to May 2005, Omnimaga shared Epic Programming Studios' forums for discussion. In May 2005, the site got a new forum and grew in popularity. On December 12th 2005, a new programming team was formed on the site. The team "The Coders Of Tomorrow" was chosen for the programming team on April 10th 2006. Omnimaga closed indefinitely on March 4th 2008 then reopened under a new website on August 25th 2008 (altough the re-opening was never announced anywhere else).

Since 2006, Omnimaga is a website dedicated to TI calculator and PC game programming and music creation of any kind. Aside from the programming team products (which includes notable releases such as TI-Boy SE), it also provides a selection of the best community-contributed RPGs ever made for any brand of graphing calculators, including some very rare ones, as well as various programming tools. The site also include a discussion board that is primary oriented toward calculator game development and showcase. The forum goal is to provide a discussion environment free of any hostility for all coders wanting to learn, give or get help, show off their work and/or discuss. Both the staff and regular members have major projects in the works as well, such as F-Zero, Project M (Super Mario Clone), Portal X and is home of the Axe Parser programming language forum. [1]
