Is it possible to make your own symbols for the Calculator (I have ti-84 SE)

Not without graphing/pictures/line drawing. Or get Omnicalc [FLASH app] and use the Windows Application 'Font Creator' and send your custom font to your calc.

Also, go 84+SE! Although I think I like the LOOK of the standard 84+ better...?

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I was wondering how you could program the Mandlebrot set (or any other cool fractal), if it is even possible on a calculator.
Please e-mail me at jwymbs23@gmail.com if you have any ideas.

So suppose I have this prgm in BASIC, and it needs to cycle through pics. There's only 7, which sucks, but what about those GDBs you can save drawings as? How do those work? Are they the same as pics except in a different format? If that's true, can I use both pics and GDBs in a prgm?
That's not my problem though. Given that I have pictures (only 7 though!!!), I might I found a way to cycle them. Here's code:
:
:ClrHome
:Output(3,4,"SticDethh")
:Pause
:ClrDraw
:AxesOff
:CoordOff
:ExprOff
:LabelOff
:GridOff
:0->X
:
:Lbl 1
:ClrDraw
:RecallPic 1
:X+1->X
{My first problem comes here... Should I use the first version or the second?}
*Version 1
[:If X=/30:Goto 1
:If X=30:Goto 2]
*Version 2 (does it even work?)
[:For(X,30,2)
:Goto 1]
:End
:
:Lbl 2
:ClrDraw
:RecallPic 2
:X+1->X
:Version 1: Replace 30 with 60, and add 30 per new Label while progressing to the next pic too, and the Goto at the
:End
:---

Parameters not that great, but can you guys tell me which Version (1,2) is better and if you have any further ideas (or questions) about it.

I think that someone needs to make a 3d program that acts like this:
0
00 000000000000000000000000
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
000000000000000000000000000

It could use a list for the data and wall height, and could use another list to do directions. The first list would be in order, but the second list would match up with the dimmensions +2. It would have the (start location x) and (start location y) extra in the second list. The one above would be like this with L1 and L2 as the two lists.
The second list would then record movements like this:
8 1 2
7 0 3
6 5 4

@ = location
. = empty
0 = wall of various height
x= not used in list1 but in list 2
L1={x ,x ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0}
L2={3 ,1 ,0 ,4 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,3 ,5 ,5 ,5 ,5 ,5 ,5 ,5 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,7 ,1 ,1 ,1 ,1 ,1 ,1 ,1 ,3 ,2}

If you understand that, try to make a program. If not(or so) just comment

help!
i have to write a program for my calculus class on my 83+
we have to make a picture using polar equations..
any suggestions or advise on what to draw and how to get started?

It's a pretty cool graphic for your TI in basic, just set variables for the linear coordinates, and change them slightly every time the process is repeated. I'll just show you one of the graphics, it looks pretty cool:

:ClrDraw
:16—>Ø
:7.5—>Z
:Lbl A
:If Ø<¯50
:Pause
:If Ø<¯50
:Stop
:Line(Ø,Ø,Z,¯Z)
:Line(Ø,Ø,¯Z,Z)
:Line(¯Ø,¯Ø,¯Z,Z)
:Line(¯Ø,¯Ø,Z,¯Z)
:Ø-1—>Ø
:Z-1.4—>Z
:Goto A

This same thing can be done with circles or tangents, and can be done using the randint function... just for some ideas. If you come up with anything cool, or have any advice, feel free to reply, or e-mail me @ piano_mandrew@yahoo.com. Thanks!

i want to make something like a beginscreen for my program's. Somthing like the basic programs on the IT-84.If it is possible pleas let me know.

I am working on a program that looks like Microsoft Paint and works like it too (Please don't sue me, Microsoft! I gave you credit). So far, you can freehand draw, spraypaint, save, and load, but I can't figure out how to fill in an area. Is it even possible? And is it possible to draw circles (I think it is), to erase (Again, I think it is), and also to make it so that when you press enter then it stops drawing? I use the getkey function.

I am working on a small program that functions as a partial OS. One of the things I would like to include is a section where you can input a name of a program, limited to 8 characters, store it to Str6, and the coding that the user wishes to place in the program, and store that to Str7. The prgm would then test if the name (Str6) has already been used, and if so, ask for another name. If not, it will create a program with the name you specified in Str6, containing the coding you put in Str7. I am aware that this can only be done in asm/hex, and while I am good at Basic, I am horrible at asm/hex. If someone could find the time to help me with the hex for a program that does this, I would appreciate it. Also, please include your name so that I may credit you appropriately.

I am currently working on programing a Pokemon version for the ti-82 and ti-84 series and i need some help creating tile maps... I have xLIB but unfortunately I don't want to write it in TI-Basic is there anyone who can give some pointers in creating tile maps using ASM?

Could someone build a grid-based generic battle engine for the Nspire? that would help a lot with some of my program ideas.

Since I am the first, why not create a program that is a comic book? Someone could create a periodical program that is a digital comic book. Output it every time the new comic is done. You're welcome!

Au revoir,
Emeka

good idea, email me at killajoy6666@charter.net

I need to know how to convert a movie or a clip into a ti 83 plus basic format. this would be really helpfull.

To contact me: mike8161990@yahoo.com

I'm not sure how to make the movie clip into a BASIC format but I have a program that will take a movie and convert it onto the TI (all platforms) (including GRAYSCALE!!!) so you can watch it on the calc. I'll e-mail it to u.

could you send it to me at crsent@dc4pc.net

i know im 2 years late (lol) but if u notice this post would u email it 2 me at TRBAWA@aol.com

That's very interesting. But once everyone has read it then no one wants it anymore. Maybe it should be a comic viewer thing like how Animation Master Viewer works for animations except this will be for comics.

This doesnt have much to do comic books but how are you suposed to play games that take up like 68k memory? Is there some kind of upgrade that i dont know about or are people just making cool programs that are to big to be played. With 83+ you can use Archive but if you do that you cant play it. And Im talking about games for that 83 anyways because thats what i have. So if any one knows my Question please comment because it is making me nad not being able to play those cool games. Thank You!!! (if anyone helps me)

The only way I know is to get Ion or some other kind of shell. I use Ion and it is great. You can keep your Ion games archived and still play them with Ion. I have soo many I dont know what to do with them =). Hope this can help.

Look above you, the code for the comic is there. Stupid PICS!!!
