Voting predictions
anthony C  Account Info

I have a feeling the poll's results will split along the population of ti83/84 and 68k owners. Since BasicBuilder was released only for the Ti-83/84, and the Maps2Go and Qs Moka 2.2 were released for ti89/92, the people who vote will vote only for the software that is compatible for their calc. But since the 68k votes might be split between Maps2Go and Qs Moka 2.2, it might actually give BasicBuilder a strong chance. This will remain to be proven, though. :)

I have both a z80 and a 68k, and I'm sure, Map2Go is a great tool - but it doesn't work for me. When the programm parses the mapquest-site, I always get a c++ Debug Error (Invalid allocation size).
I don't want to vote for a program I can't test, so I voted for Basicbuilder. It helped me a lot managing all these formula-programs i wrote during maths- and physics lessons :)

I have 2 83+es and an 89T, so I can use all the programs. However, while BasicBuilder is good in theory, people should learn how to use ASM if they want to make an App, so I simply cannot vote for it.

Truthfully, I haven't used any of these programs, but I voted for Moka because that seems to have the greatest potential to me.

Although ASM is superior to BASIC for games, graphics, shells, and the like, often BASIC is far better for math programs. Instead of messing around with the registers, you can just type in the formulas as you would otherwise. (Yes, I have used both ASM and BASIC.)

You're better off to just type all the stuff in the homescreen, or just make your own BASIC program on the fly if you have to do something over and over... That way, you know you actually know how to do the work!

Actually, assembly op math is very easy, just look at the 83+ and 86 sources in the z80 folder of Pythagorean Theorem MPE, listed in most basic math directories. I admit the 86 version could've saved 2 bytes using a 'rst ??h' command, but hindsight is best (aka w/e).

...but CrunchyOS was; therefore, the builder should be too.
