Hey kids! You're in luck!! cuz I am a programmer for "booz allen and hamilton"! so i kno evry little trick. all you BASIC programmers searching to make really good 'utilityless' graphic based games are stuck. if you want to be tought ASM, EMAIL me. ASM has the advantage over BASIC in every way! (and no just because i called you kids doesn't mean im an adult im 14)

No offense ment, but if you're a really good asm programmer, how come you haven't authored any files? And what calculator are you talking about? I know that the absolute best tutorial out there for the TI-83 plus is "Learn TI-83 plus assembly in 28 days".

The reason I haven't authored any files (for this site) is because most of my programs are not finished. I am a huge procrastinator. If you want me to e-mail some of my "work" to you just say so. And yes, I have read "Learn TI 83 plus assembly in 28 days" by Sean McLaughlin. He is one of the best programmers I have seen!

thanks for reading my post.

Heh, sorry about that then. Now that I read my post, it sounds a little insulting, which isn't what I was trying to do.

I don't take it as insulting. I can still EMail some stuff if you like. Don't worry about the insulting thing.

i have a question for you, could you explain the way of using im2 (interrupt mode 2)???
any help would be appreciated. (im not a noob, so dont say its too difficult for me.)

Oh! the calc?
83 plus

i made a programm, but to make it i made a bunch of subroutines. how do i combine it all so it only appears as the programme.

If you how to program ASM, can you teach me how to program calc games in ASM? my email address is trinimonm@aol.com

I need a person to teach me cuz i cant understand the tutorials. I am learning from someone else to program in BASIC, so i also want some one to teach me ASM programming, cuz i heard it is faster and better than BASIC

I've heard if you don't know C, C++, or Java you're pretty much screwed in learning ASM, but I could be wrong. I would really want to learn it but the 28 Days guide goes by like that and I'm just left staring with my jaw dropped because I heard it was easy =)

begin at the beginning and read over and over again.

where can i get one of those little calc to calc link cables that come with all the ti's? my friends left it at lunch the other day and now i don't have one.

You should be able to get one at TI's online store or whatever.

I'm a BASIC programmer, and I'm seeking the opinion of another BASIC programmer. I am writting a game for the TI-83+ series of calculators. It is an RPG battle engine. (With story and graphics.) It is titled Endure 5. t consists of 100 battles, which you and your opponet both level up in. It includes about 15 enemies + your character's standard Pic + Narrative Pics for each major character. I was thinking about three ways to show the graphics for he game and was wondering which one you other programmers think is appropiate. They go like this:
# 1 Use storepic/loadpic.
I know this method will only allow 10 Pics, but the program would also be compatible with the standard 83.
# 2 Use SSmaker.
This will make multiple ASM based picts, but requires an 83+ to use. They are also slightly larger than standard Pics, making an error MEM forseeable.
# 3 Final Method: Use Omnicalc's sprite command.
This option, particullarly when paired with Option #2 + storepic allows for numerous pictures. The problem: They have to be a multiple of 8 pixels down + over and must be a multipel of 8 pixels in size. additionally, not everyone has Omnicalc installed, which would fan the flames of incompatibitly.

So other programmers out there, what method do you think I should use? Thanx.

How big are the pictures for the narratives? If you set up the window variables right, you could just use a combination of line( and pxl-On( to do it easily. Also, if your picture is around 8x8, it would execute at about the same speed (if it isn't moving) and would take up much less than using a pic var.

I'd like somebody to program Elasto Mania for the TI-83 plus. You can download a demo version of Elasto Mania (ELMA for short) at www.elastomania.com

By the way, Elasto Mania is a very fun game ;-) Check out www.moposite.com for further information.

i need an idea for a new 89 assembly game...
mabye an 83+ port?

Try to take on the challenge of the lord of the rings!
or on a simpler game try to make a game similar to the game on this site www.sfcave.com

hey idk what i should put this under but most people go hear so here's my ? i have tried to download games onto my computer than my calculator but idk hot to download to my calculator after its on my computer can any one help me??

Do you have a cable to connect your calc to the computer? You need one, and also graph link or ti-connect software to do it. If you have graph link, which is free on TI's website, just use the link menu.

i have the link cable in all and the software your talkin about is that the cd rom software thingy u get when you get the calculator??

It should be included on the cd, but you can also get it at:
http://education.ti.com/us /product/accessory/
connectivity/features/features.html
(dont put in the space after /us. Sorry, but it didn't fit in the url box)

so how do u transver it from the computer to the software

What do you mean? Are you talking about putting files onto the calculator? If so and if you got the Graphlink, then press link and send whatever files you want to.

i mean to put a program from the computer/internet/ onto the calculator

Then did you get graphlink? If you did just do what I said in the previous post.

it wont let me open that url and i can't find it. i just got my calculator a couple days ago so i don't know what to do. and you seem to know what you're doing. i would appreciate your help if you don't mind.
