It was coded in C with NO game engine, just the CE C Standard Libraries. It took four months of on and off coding to complete it, but it is ready for download for anyone who wants to check it out for themselves.
The hardest part of this was dealing with the memory constraints of the calculator. The calculator only has 154KB of RAM. The continent sprites took up the most space, but by scaling them down, we got the entire game to fit into 17KB!
The game features a transportation view, a live, scrolling menu, mutations, and more.
This was a valuable learning experience. While this will NOT work on any calculator except the TI-84 Plus CE / TI-83 Premium CE, I welcome anyone to make a version for their calculator.

Goddamn. When did TI-84 calculators get a backlit, color display?
