has ne1 ever played detonator on miniclip.com? if so im trying 2 make a ti-83+ version of it. i was doing pretty well until i ran into a problem.

can someone help me write a subroutine that will detect if a bomb is touching another bomb?

(im using strings 4 hit detection cuz i need need them 4 the scrolling and its so much faster)

suppose the pluses r the bombs. how do i tell if a bomb is touching another bomb and store its coordinates to lists so i can make it blow up later?

any help is appreciated

ill give full credit to whoever helps me when i upload the program

If it's in BASIC i can reaaly help. if you use Output( and you know the position of a bomb in the string, you could determine the position and store it.

Does anyone knows how to program an APPS???
And where can I find an APPS Editor???
HHEELLPP??

What calculator would you like to develop the APPS for? Visit www.education.ti.edu for information about APP Development Kits.

Also, are you sure you want APPS? You should look into Assembly programming instead.

Its education.ti.com !!!

For the TI-83+

I've been a BASIC programmer for a while now and have become pretty good at it, but lately, I've been working on some graphic programs with some major loops. Now, BASIC cannot handle this because of program fatigue and the lack of speed in BASIC. I've tried to learn asm, but i've found the tutorials confusing and incomplete, and they do not seem to work with my MS-DOS very well (I think it's because i have Windows XP). So, how did y'all learn asm? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. I have windows XP too, and i have almost no probs with MS-DOS, so i dont think its that...
2. Get ASMGuru (50 tutorials in 1) and ASM in 28 days or something like that, they are very good!!

ok, thanks, i'll probably just go find 'em, but if I don't, where could i find these?

ok, when i go into dos, and try to run asm clrhome.z80, it says "tasm is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." so i had to go into the asm.bat and edit it to include C:\ASM\(and then the code). now it says "table open file error on tasm80.tab.", so im confused and need some help please.

Make sure the the .tab file is in the same folder as tasm.exe

all the files have to be in the same folder!!

ok, well, they are, i think it has something to do with the process of "digging up" the folder. He says to do this in ASMguru. Does he mean in MS-DOS or from My Computer? And if it is from MS-DOS, how do i do that?

in DOS, with cd *map* command

OK, thank you very much, i think this will finally work now, i hope so, i ran into another error, a source file open error, but i think i can sort this one out. thank you all very much.

ok, never mind i can't sort this one out, what is a source file open error and how does one go about correcting it?

have you made your ASM file?? could be possible you didn't, check a good tutorial for that!!

yes, i made the file, and had to save it in dos instead of notepad to get it to run, but it did, now tasm is erroring. Please read your email bram tant.

Hi. Is it possible to activate the pen function in Basic on the TI-83 Plus? If so could you Email me at Andycogen@earthlink.net

Pen?? explain!

What I mean by pen is...


-2nd DRAW
|
--Pen

The Pen for drawing on graphs.

Ah... If ya mean using pen in a program, sure!!

How???

I checked, pen cannot be executed from within a program in Basic. If you could email me, and tell me what your idea is, i could probably help you out, but I know it cannot be used as a command in a program in Basic. My email is mosquito456@hotmail.com

I don't think you can use pen from within a program. You can make a program using the getkey, pixel-on, and pixel-off commands to move a pixel around the screen around draw a line behind it. One could also just use a lot of pixel-on commands.
