Post your ideas for new miscellaneous programs here, or build on ideas posted by other visitors.

If you haven't heard (though you should have since it was posted about very recently) a tool was created to work as a wireless linkcable for the calculator. Though it might have practical uses, we all know you wanted to use ZChat with your friends in class. Well... if you visit their site (search for it on google) it mentions the product being discontiuned. If anyone knows of a still purchasable version, could they please inform me?

You do know that Radiolinc is discontinued.

someone please make an app that allows the user to make funsctions accessed like omnicalcs and symbolics functions...

I'm new at programming--just started learning it a few months ago. One of the many cool things I have downloaded from this site is Virtual TI Beta. I got the rom image from my calculator and loaded it in VTI, but I can't get it to do anything. If you know how to get VTI to work, please e-mail me at drewman87@att.net

I solved my own problem. I tried out Texas Instrument's own debugger, which does the same thing.

Actually, for those of you with the USB cable who can't get a ROM image, TEXAS INSTRUMENTS' OWN FLASH DEBUGGER DOES THE SAME THING AS VTI AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A ROM IMAGE.

You can find it on their site education.ti.com.

Hi,
I am an intermediate programmer in basic for my TI 83 Plus. I am working on a game that I'm not sure of the purpose and what not yet. I got the graphics part going for me, just not the other stuff. Any way, I want to know if there are any good ways to simulate a simple negotiation for percentages, prices, etc.

My guess would be basing the procedure off of the players reation time when hitting a button(ie. counting the getkey loop). That is my guess from the bargining in the game Pimp written by Bill The Cat (PimpQuest@hotmail.com).

If anyone has any ideas that could help me out or if they have done/seen something similar, please write back. It is greatly appreciated.

Also, just ask for more clarification.

a simple idea would be this:

decide minimum prices for things, then have some form of "stat" in the game that determines bargaining ability (it can be variable or constant, hidden or visible) and based on that, just use a RandInt. ticalc.org wasn't letting me post my example (kinda lengthy) but i put it online. check it out *refers to website*

of course, it might be smart to subtract an amount of money after they buy the item XD i wasn't thinking straight when i made that little code. oh well

ah yes, but if you only had one hand you'd be saying "it's not like I have TWO HANDS you know!", but you do, so there >:-Þ

Here's my idea, and I know it's not easy. I've been spoiled by the TI-89's larger screen and smaller text, and I thought it would be really cool if someone could make an on-calc program editor other than the built-in one, that displayed and edited the program using the small font. I know, it's crazy, but it would be really nice. Just another TI-BASIC programmer's two cents. In whatever your currency is.

i have recently (during MUCH boredom in science class) made a program that actually READS what you type in. it doesn't just "know", but it checks for shapes and knows what you've put in. i'll be uploading this program within the week if anyone has any ideas for a use for it (i don't). on the real note- shortly after making this my friend suggested that i create an artificial intelligence and ideas have been rushing to me ever since. i feel this project will keep me quite busy, but if anyone has anything they'd like to add, please share. i think it would be a treat (and a challenge) if i made the whole thing in BASIC. as well, that would prove to those stuck-up ASMers just how powerful we are (go BASIC!). so, i'll be busy coding this for possibly months to come and i'm hoping that the first edition will actually be smart enough to make basic conversation with. if i find a way, i could even give it learning abilities o.0

well.... i attempted the idea and made some progress on BASIC speech, but when it gets down to it... AI needs alot of memory. and 20kb of RAM (I think less. I don't know if programs are allowed to be that big) isn't enough. Perhaps I could learn C and make an App, but that still might not be big enough (it's on a freaking calculator >.>)

Hey, I just came up with a great idea! Someone should try to make a program to go on the calculator, so you can program in ASM on the calc. I'm not experienced (did I spell that write?...) in ASM, so I couldn't do it. But maybe an expert "ASM-er" could.

we thank you for your genius idea, unfortunately you're the millionth customer to have said idea. it's been in development (ask someone else if you want the name of it. i just use a computer (for the little ASM i do >.>))

btw- the project isn't complete, so getting the name right now seems pointless unless you wanna keep up with how well it's coming along

It's a Detached Solutions project, and it's called TitanASM.

Can somebody please make a Krolypto for the TI 89/Titanium?
I had Krolypto on my 83+SE and really loved it and now I have an 89 and would like to have it on there too.

I have spent over a year working on this; it is a whole new programming language for z80 TI-Calcs, and the compiler program for it. It looks like C++/Java with some interchangable BASIC-like syntax. High-Level OOP code compiles into assembly code (asm programs) for all models from TI-82 to TI-86

You can use this to do ANYTHING that can be done in assembly. Antidisassemblage is not big and easy to learn because only the fundamentals are built into it. Everything else (once finished) will be defined in "include files" (there is a special command to output asm code so you can integerate assembly into the language; most of this will be done in the background so that you don't have to worry about it).

I am looking for people who want to help test it, play with it, and when it is done (which will be soon) help write stuff for it. THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING REVOLUTIONARY; people can make assembly programs from an easy to use High-Level OOP programming context (this is NOT ASSEMBLY, it compiles into assembly)

The language has these standard features: preprocessor commands, user defined variables of various datatypes, MULTIDIMENSIONAL arrays, functions (aka: subroutines procedures methods) that take and return values (parameters / arguments),
Global vars that can be used anywhere and local vars (temporary vars) that only have the scope of the function they are in, Static (fixed var addresses, more efficient) or dynamic (uses a stack to allow instances = RECURSION) functions, and a nice bunch of control-constructs to control program-flow

hey all. i have a ti-84+ and i was wondering if it would be possible to convert a latin translator i have (in a dos file) to be used on my calc. does anyone have any ideas?

Since they're different programming languages, the best you could probably do is one of the following:

1. learn some really complex and stupid language just to make a program that converts programs into other types o.0
2. copy it word by word

both would take forever, but one of them is actually possible. i don't think a TI-84 would have enough memory for a translator though (unless you made it an App)
