Introduction
This tutoria introduced the Moka
syntax. It deploys an application that shows a message.
What to do
1. First, Moka compiler needs to be
installed. If you are using Windows, decompress the mdk2.0 directory
into a local device(ex: C:\). If you are using Linux, you must use the
Borland's Kylix compiler to recompile Moka. The last option
hasn't been tested and is not supported by Quésoft
microsystèmes.
2. Open Notepad or any other text editor
(Edit or UltraEdit are doing well to) and type that :
import moka.lang.System;//Imports moka.lang.System class.
public class Hello {
/*
Defining a static "main" function, returning nothing, which is the
entry point of the program.
*/
public static void main ()
{
System.println("Hello, world!"); //Print
"Hello, world!"
System.read();//Wait for
the user to press a key.
}
}
3. Save your doccument under the name
"Hello.java".
4. Open a console (Under Windows : Start
menu -> Run ..., then type "command") then go to the directory
in which you had installed Moka (If Moka was installed in the
"C:\mkd2.0" directory, then type "cd C:\mdk2.0"). You should now
type "Moka " folowed by the explicit path of the "Hello.java source
file" (if you saved the source file in the "C:\temp directory, the
completed command will looks like "Moka C:\temp\Hello"). If the
source file was as above, you should obtain "Project built successfuly."
5. Moka has created a directory
named TIGCC which contains the C source code of the application.
If TIGCC (GNU C Compiler for TI-89 / TI-92Plus calculators) is
installed, start the IDE. If TIGCC is not installed yet, download
it on http://www.ticalc.org, then proceed to the installation.
6. Start the TIGCC project in the TIGCC
directory named Hello.tpr. (File -> Open ...).
7. Compile the projet (Project ->
Compile).
8. Once compiled, transfert the executable
files (Hello.89z for TI-89 or Hello.9xz for TI-92Plus) on your
calculator, then start the application by typing "hello()" in the Home
screen.
