Can Someone tell me if there is an App or prgm that can give you more variables than the set number.(TI83Plus)

You can always store numbers in lists. You can name a list any name 5 or less letters. Also you can store up to 999 numbers on one list. Store and recall the number using the list name followed by parentheses.

i.e. :X->LISTA(3) This stores X as the third number of list LISTA.

To avoid having to use brackets when typing an input to a list, use a variable in between.

i.e. :Input "Slope=",A:A->LISTA(1)

WHY DOESNT ANYBODY BOTHER TO TITLE THEIR POSTS? Why should I bother helping people or whatever if I have to read every single post to find out what you want?

...by the way, I am making a high-level OOP compiler for z80; it looks like C++ with TI-Basic commands/keywords/syntax, and has all the capabilities of assembly. It allows several prim datatypes, mutli-dimesnional arrays, sub-routines, OOP, etc.

Any suggestions? (I will finish the test program soon; this is no simple program; having to unravel expressions and handle mem/vars and stuff is a mess..but it will work)

This isnt really a suggestion. I really like your idea, and I think it will be a GREAT success. I know I'll want this program... Good luck to you!

What do you people think is the best way of handling arrays in assembly? I am making an OOP compiler for z80...so far, I think that a linked-list setup is best.

If you want to check out / help with my compiler, click on the web page listed at the top of this window.

I think it would be neat is someone setup a help file that you could download from ticalc.org that explains ti-83plus ASM simply and throughly. I mean a file that any complete idiot (like me)....(well with asm anyway) that can figure it out. To get a Help file creator goto www.breittechnologies.com. I DON'T want to advertise I just want to make aviable a site that a super genius ASM Programmer could use to help many people that feel very left in the dark... Yes I have viewed the one the ticalc.org offers the log files but... I must be really dumb that i cannot figure it out.

Hey. Is there any
way to MAKE a link
Cable (Calc to Calc)
For the TI-83 Plus?
I would like to make
a Super Long one.

Thanks,
Andycogen

Click the "hardware" link at the top of the page...there should be some links to plans for cables.

Thanks but they don't have what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for that cable that comes with the
Calculator (83+) that connects two calculators.

Anyone know where I can get the plans for the Calc to Calc Link Cable?

Thanks,
Andycogen

OK, that's a lot easier. :-) Just buy 2 stereo connectors (1/16", I think), cut 3 wires to the length you want, use one wire to connect the tip of each connector, another one to connect the ring...you get the idea-then just twist the wires together, or even better, get a long piece of heatshrink, put it over the wires and parts of the connectors, and shrink it on with a soldering iron. If this is confusing, e-mail me and I'll try to explain better, maybe send a wiring diagram.

Cool. Thanks. I'll try it out.

Its alot easier than that above...Cut your existing wire in half, then strip the insulation. Your now looking at a red wire, a white wire, and a bare(ground) wire. strip the white and red wire's insulation on both halfs. Now, take some extra wire and lengthen each wire.

go to ti's online store. for $7 you can get a 7 ft. long cable. compare to $5 for the original 6 in. cable and you've got a good bargain

Sort of another spin of of burntfuse's idea. Instead of using stereo cable, use an phone cable. Make sure the connector has at least 3 pins on it. The phone cable would probably be a little thinner than stereo cable. There are ways you could also change the length, but for time's (and space on the page) sake I will explain this only if you're interested.

Just Visit Radio Shack. You can buy a splicer that connects two smaller cords together for a price cheaper than getting one shipped to your house.

Hi guys,

I program in basic for TI-83 5 years now.
I just finished a new game with 'artificial intellegence'. I'm very proud about this AI ;)
cause i'm not looking to all situatiosn but calculating the AI with a algorithm i find out myself. Can someone help me with testing it ?

i would gladly test out your game/program for you!
if you could email me with a copy, or post a URL i would love to help you!

i am also a experienced BASIC programmer, and can probably learn from you and maybe improve!

my email is peterjeliot @ yahoo.com

ill test it if u want my email is Max_rulez322@hotmail.com

I just had this kick-ass idea. I have an old GameBoy printer. What if somehow, you could get the TI-89 to print text files out on the printer? You could do it with other calcs too, but I only say TI-89 because it has a built-in text editor. This would be such a cool project. Tell me what you think of it.

Try this; maybe can you hook up a like cable to a normal printer (i.e. the parallel link)? if so, then somebody should make a program that can send info to the printer like that and print out full-sized pages

You would need a driver, obviously, so if you can't find any documentation on the link protocol (so that you can translate between the TI protocol and the printer) you would need to find a way to power it and then use an ASM program to send things through the cable and see what happens. To prevent the semi-random signal from frying the printer or jamming it, you would probably need a cable pinout. It would be helpful if you could provide the codes off the chips inside, if possible.

Hmm...good idea. Maybe for V200, TI84+, and TI89Ti, you could use a Mini-B to A cable, and hook them up to Epson printers. I only say Epson because I own an Epson.

I think that's a grea idea, and it may work. Let me know. Sound cool.
