83Dev Program Beta Released
Posted by Eric on 23 March 2001, 01:36 GMT

Rob Mitchelmore sent me word of an interesting new project he's working on: his own PC-side editor for TI-83 BASIC, called 83Dev. Judging by the screenshots, Rob's program looks a lot easier to use than the TI-Graph Link software. It also has many cool features like code highlighting and label management. So...go check out the beta and be sure to give him some suggestions for future versions. Looks promising!

Wow, that was really off-topic. Hey, I can be off-topic too! Does anyone know where ticalc keeps it's RDF file? I've got this great little program that downloads RDF files and scrolls the latest news headlines in my taskbar, but I can't find ticalc.org's RDF file.

Wow, nice screenshots! I like the concept. Hmm, is it possible to do the same thing for the 83+?

It should work with the 83+, because the BASIC is BASICly the same. (Pun sort of intended)

Ok, now when can we expect 86DEV and 89DEV?

I only have a TI-83. If anyone feels like donating one of the higher calculators (:p) or pointing me to the online documentation, I will add it at some point. At the moment finishing the TI-83 bits is the highest priority though. :)

You notice the ":p"? That means he was kidding. Ease up.

That makes sense, and when you get an 83 version finished go to http://www.ti.com/calc and download the calculator manuals in .pdf format. But between the 83 and 86 most of the functions are the same, but the 86 lacks stddev() and the 83 lacks unit conversions, just to name a few. But Disp, For. . .End, If. . .Then. . .Else. . .End, Goto. . .Lbl, and most other normal functions are the same. The big difference would be the format they're stored in.

The 89 (and 92(+)), on the other hand, uses a similar, but noticeably different syntax (i.e. If. . .Then. . .ElseIf. . .ElseIf. . .Else. . .End) and would be much harder to convert to without your actually having an 89.

I believe an 89 version would work pretty well for 92+ BASIC, since both calcs are nearly identical (except for shape).

I agree, an 89 version would be quite beneficial. On-calc programming takes wastes batteries, and VTI is kinda awkward for BASIC programming. Or, everyone can get TIGCC and make the coolstuff.

Hi!
Umm... the download link was broken off the page. It should work now, but docs are a bit scarce.

I don't have an 83, but maybe you can take and modify my font for the 89 (link above). It is a fixed size font replacing the Graph Link font for the TI-89. It looks exactly like the 89 character set, but I know the 83 has a different one.

Sorry about the "Terminal" thing: Up until now, I didn't find a way to make a new font rather than modify an old one; maybe hex-editing the file can help if you use an 8 character name.

Is there a program like this for TI-86? I'm asking because I've been working on a program recently which, although can be opened and edited on the calculator, is too big to open using TI-Graph Link, and the type of editing I need to do is next to impossible on calculator (I need to literally split the program in half into two to make it [them] run faster. Too bad the calculator doesn't support cut & paste for large blocks ot text. Program idea for any assembly programmers?).

This is the only place i know how to talk to ppl on this site, so this isnt about this topic. Why is ticalc only proccesing like 3 games a day when it says HEAVY or whatever on the uplink thing. is it do to them emailing authors for permission about the CD?

Good point, why isn't there a regular forum on ticalc.org?

And speaking of changing subjects, goto my website (click link)

A TICalc forum wouldbe awesome. Talking in the discussion portion of an advanced news system just doesn't cut it. And this thing is tree-based, when string-based is easier to read.

Maybe they should also put a chat room on the website. I know they got a page telling about IRC channels users can go to, but every time I've tried all the channels listed were empty, so I'm talking about one right on the website itself, like a Java applet or something.
