Post your ideas for new miscellaneous programs here, or build on ideas posted by other visitors.

For those of you who don't know, a programming LANGUAGE just refers to what style of programming you are using i.e. Java, C++, Basic, Assembly...

I am running this project for the developement of a HIGH LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE for the ti83+ / z80 calcs; It uses C++/Basic formats; It will be friendly to z80 BASIC programmers (people who program ON the calc), but capable of things offered by assembly and other languages; It will use similar commands and support rom calls and assembly commands.

(continued on next Post; KEEP READING)

The program will compile code in this new language into assembly code (assembly can do almost anything / is base of all stuff)

Interested / learn more?

Sounds cool-you should look at TIPower and z88dk-they do exactly what you're talking about (especially TIPower).

Hur Huck!!! I just FARTED

....that supports my previous statement that you're disturbed.....or just EXTREMELY immature.....

Some people should be shot. Why bother write a virus for a calculator? Seriously, it's only got 27KB of RAM!

Or worse: there's a rumor where I live that Mirage OS is a virus. I think one idiot just droped thier calculator too many times but didn't want to admit it.

I don't know very much about asm programming, but I have tried it a coulple times (both successfully and unsuccessfully). I don't know how to port programs that well either, besides changing commands and other sections of code. Which I don't know if I was successful or not because TiNuke83 is a link program and it is the weekend. I have a Ti-83 and 83+ and it doesn't work between versions of the calculator (I found this out when I tried to nuke an 83+ with my 83 at school (I made sure that the kid didn't care about his programs)! :) ). I was wondering if somebody could port TiNuke83 to the 83+. It uses the silent link capability and it is written by Anthony Baire <popov@mail.dotcom.fr> as it states in the readme. I know that it works on the 83 (it is pretty cool). Thanks!

Since it bothers me that people can just not know
stuff that I know, because I have nothing better to
do, and because I like to teach people stuff...

ALL YOU BASIC PROGRAMMERS SUCK! no offense, I am also
a basic programmer...but I see so many programs that
could be done MUCH better (haven't seen ONE that I
couldn't improve)

So, if you want I can teach you basic programmers how
to program WELL and/or VERY Efficiently! I know some
of you think you know all the "tricks" and stuff...
but even people who think they can do all this stuff
well enough can learn plenty from me as far as Basic
programming; I can do things that shouldn't be done
in Basic

Hello? Pay attention to me! I'm so Bored!!!

I am a BASIC programmer, currently working on learning assembly. I didn't take much offense to your comment, though I thought it possibly offensive to some people.

By the way, I am no expert in English, but I did notice that you left quite a few puncuation marks. If you would like, I could teach some things about the English language.

You're right, there was quite a lot of missing punctuation :D. For the person who posted the comment above yours-just look in the informational section of the archives-there are already possibly hundreds of "learn basic in 3 days" or "optimize your basic programming" documents. I downloaded one myself. Also, if you're really bored or half asleep, you shouldn't post to message boards-very strange things can come out (I know from experience).

There is a GREAT guide to learning ASM... it is the only guide that i have ever understood in asm, and due to it i know code in asm. i dont give a piece of crap about my english. view above link for the info about the guide.

Many people in my school (Appleton Wisconsin) want me to give them calculator games for their 83+'s; but i only have a 89. I was considering writing a program, ASM TIGCC GNU assembled, which would either emulate another calculator altogether, or would allow the temporary storage of another calculator game file. I would like to find some other people who would like to help to write such a program. Email me at dbaileychess@hotmail.com

Sounds very interesting....I guess that with the TI-89's expanded address range, it wouldn't be hard to reserve 32KB for an emulated RAM page 1 and 0 on the 86, or other areas on the 83+. Then the contents of the emulated $fc00-$ffff (memory-mapped display on the '86) could be copied to the real screen area....or even better, references to the screen could be redirected to the 89's screen. With the higher clock speed, it probably could be done in real time....I would really like to help, but I can only program in assembly for the Z80, and know ~0 C++ (besides having at least 5 other projects which I need to finish).

Too many projects and too little time; isn't that how it always is? (sigh)

<Vx>

Yeah...it's that way with my hardware projects too....I have a robot that's been sitting around partially assembled for >6 months-sometime I'll get around to finishing it....after the tachometer, and the high water alarm, etc.

Still (when I finish my other calc software projects-meaning in a few years ;) ), I might try an '82 emulator for the '86. BTW, did you ever figure out exactly what was causing the Mega Man/Lotus incompatibility?

If you are talking about the Mega Man for a non-89 calculator, I haven't made it. Actually, I had the idea for Mega Man on the 89 a long time before the 86 version was put out, but never had the ambition to do anything until after the Mega Man 86 was released.

As for the problem; honestly, I don't have an 86 nor do I really even know what problem you are talking about.

VERY sorry!!! I thought you were the author of Mega Man 86.

C++ is essentially ASM Lite. If you know ASM you can learn C++ in ~2 days-it's only the terminology, you already know how to do it-and vice versa. Try Herb Schildt's 2nd Edition C++ text which can be found anywhere from tech bookstores to Borders.

Thanks-I have a C++ book, just I don't have time with my thousands of other projects. :)

What are some commands people would like in BASIC (a new language)?

Additionally, let's assume this new language is compiled at scripting into hex, not like BASIC-more like VBScript.

*or* a new language, that is.

Please? Suggestions (not involving possible future locations for my project)?
