Re: How often have you lied on a ticalc.org survey?

For April fool's Day the news should be a really big lie. Make it like some kind of breakthrough in calc technology (a lie ofcourse). But don't tell anyone it's a lie until a few weeks later when people start complaining.

It should be about something like a BASIC to asm converter or a C++ to asm converter

A) There is a basic on-calc compiler for the 89/92+
B) There is a program, TI-GCC, that converts C code to asm.

I guess I forgot to say for the 83(+)

A C++ to ASM converter wouldn't be a breakthrough. They already exist. Every C++ compiler is a C++ to ASM converter. I think BASIC to ASM converters already exist also, but they don't have them for every calculator. An April Fools news item should be about something really impossible like "Windows 2000 ported to TI-92 by Rusty Wagner" or "Quake III released for TI-86" or "TI releases TI-89/92 Flash SDK and assembly information."

I meant turning C++ code into asm code (for the 83).

I guess it would take about a year for someone like Xavier Vassor, but it's possible.

Another one would be "Getkey found on the TI-80" or "TI-89 progs work on the 83" or "Calculators now have satellite support" or "7 level grayscale now for the TI-80"

The possibilities are endless

I know Psychocorps is a joke site and they're known for having joke news but if ticalc or calc.org put some fake news on, stupid people would start to believe it.

P.S. My calc has satellite support too.

I might re-release VAPOR on April Fool's Day.

It definitely deserves a re-release. All that hard programming work that you did for that program shouldn't go unnoticed.

I never lie on the TiCalc surveys. By the way I have 1000 of every type of ti calculator.

Can I have one of each? Just one...

Yeah, I know. Like I jumped from the 100th floor of a house and still live. :-)

Can you email me screenshots of your program? I have an 83+ so I can't play it but it sure sounds good. Is it a raycasting type of game or does it use sprites or what?

my email is freakmonkey1@hotmail.com

The people that said they lie on every survey are lying again so it is actually the people who lie once in a while who put all the time. Whatever.

Is it possible for anyone to make an emulator for some of the TI-86's or 85's games for the 83+? Or is it impossible?

It might be possible to make a 85/86 emulator on the 83+, at least for asm programs. The 83+ has enough memory.

But why don't you just buy an 86?

I don't have enough money to buy another calculator. I guess by the time I am in college I might buy another calculator but it won't be an 86. It'll probably be an 89 (or better if TI makes one that's not QWERTY) or maybe even an HP. But that's in a few years. So in the mean time, It would be pretty cool if someone would make an oncalc emulator of the TI-86 for the 83+

Um well the fact that the 86 screen is 128 pixels wide would kind of put a damper on things... Also, someone below mentioned that the 83+ has enough RAM, but it's mostly archive. In order to set up a proper emulator, the code would have to run at $D748 on the 83+, which I believe is hardware impossible (I don't think you can execute code at addresses greater than $C000 on the 83+)

Could a new rom version fix the address problem?

remember how confusing the ams 2.03 vs. 2.04 issue is/was on the 89/92+ about 1.5 months ago?
