Question

What types of files are not accepted on ticalc.org?
|
|
Answer
|
ticalc.org does not accept any file that satisfies one or more of the following conditions:
- It violates our Site Policies
- It is a type of a file that has been submitted so many times, we no longer have a need for another one (see the list below for examples.)
- It is a file that does not relate to calculators at all.
- It would be trivial to write for somebody familiar with the basics of calculator programming.
- It is deemed to have little or no use to the calculator community (as determined by the file archiver.)
To serve as a reference, below is a list of files that we no longer accept because we have enough of them in our archives. Note that if you already have a program that falls under one of these categories, you may still submit updates to it (make sure you update your files correctly.)
- Games
- Guess the Number
- Blackjack
- Pong
- Rapid Button Pressing Programs
- Nibbles / Tron
- Math Programs
- Quadratic Formula Programs
- Pythagorean Theorem Programs
- Area Calculators
- Volume Calculators
- Surface Area Calculators
- Base Converters
- Midpoint Calculators
- Distance Calculators
- Simultaneous Linear Equation Solvers
- Trivial Formula Programs (definition: any program that takes input, and directly plugs it into a simple formula that doesn't require looping or conditional tests)
- Programs that duplicate built-in functions of the calculator
- Miscellaneous Programs
- Memory Cleaners
- Simple Timing / Stopwatch Programs
- GetKey Code Programs (programs that display the value the getKey function returns for a given key)
- Fake Virus Programs
Note that this list is not exhaustive--a program may still be rejected even if it is not on this list. This list may be revised at any time.
