Woaah!! thats pretty awesome. Ever since i learned some C on the TIGCC compiler I was wondering if a compiler/interpreter could be made right on the 89/92/V200 calculators. This is a nice step towards that

You mean a C compiler for the 89? There is one, though it's not in the ticalc.org archives- it's called GTC (google it).

Or do you mean something else?

yeah!! gtc. I havent heard of that before and thus haven't tested it out, but thats what I would really like. Too bad the site with download is down.

Well, I can download it fine from gtc.ti-fr.com, so I assume it's back up now? (See also the link below my name for a direct link to the site).

its working fine now thanks. it didn't do so well a couple days ago

As far as I can tell, the website is still up and running (See the URL). I probably won't put it on my 89t though; I've messed up enough emulated calculators that I don't want to push my luck with a real one.

I once was going to write a 68K virtual machine for the 68K so I could fiddle with stuff on the calculator with no chance of crashing. I was going to replace dangerous opcodes (including things peeking at or modifying their own code...) with traps (as opposed to pure emulation) so as to not lose too much efficiency, although single-stepping is a bit more involved. It would probably mess up timing in games, but it would be great for anything with lenient timing. But I got distracted by things like the TI-81. (^_^)

But I would really like to see something like Scheme or Haskell. I want a calculator that can do all kinds of math, not just arithmetic, algebra, & calculus.

Pretty much ANY opcode is "dangerous". Even a simple move can trash some system variable which causes a crash at some later point in time.

O_o

epic... just epic

Congrats on the feature! =D It's a great tool.

Does it use vi-keys? >:)

On a calculator keypad? And no, this is supposed to be *friendly* to newbies. :P

Nice job again, Floppus!

My wish came true, you finally got the attention you deserved when the Ticalc staff made this a featured program!

Though I still opt in favor of module support :P jokin with ya

He's written all sorts of ticalc.org featured programs/applications, it's not new. :)

This is really a fantastic application, I can't even say enough good things about it. It's about time something like this finally came out.

Very nice! This gives me a reason to work on Mosaic - there's more competition now.

I have a question, since i've installed MIMAS onto my calc and I am having trouble finding a good tutorial on ASM programming. I have been programming with BASIC for quite sometime and wish to step up in my skills. Does anyone know where I can find a well made tutorial that will help me in this matter?

Although this comment was made 12 years ago I hope either the user is still on ti calc or my comment may help any people that happen to see this post.
First, try Axe Parser language because it is more of a medium-level language that helps you learn what you need to know to start assembly.
Once you feel ready or you want to just skip that step (Not recommended), then you can go to the link, and with some changes that you should know how to make you can be off and away making your own games in pure asm.

btw the link I am talking about is the web page button next to my name.
