Has anybody made an 83+ asm program that lets you store to a variable name that's in a string?

Two ideas:
One - someone sould make ONE dang good library for BASIC users wanting to add ASM functions that does EVERYTHING (esp renaming, and all the file-management stuff, to rectangels, to dialogs (for the 83/84 calcs) to the stuff omnicalc does, etc) so you don't need a bunch of libraries that do the same thing except a few functions used a lot wasting space? I don't like havin to use CODEX for one function and Basic Tools for others and both libraries have a lot of the same functions...

Oh, one more idea - people make lots of AIs for games, and that's cool, but why not make one that you can talk to? I used to have one I made in BASIC (until the calc got reset) called "Evil AI". My friends at school loved it 'cause you could talk to it and it would actualy learn new things to say. It started out as a friendly, well-mannered being and then, after a day of letting people talk to it it, got REALLY EVIL on everyone - even me - cussing them out, calling them names, saying some very odd things - hence the name. Mine was nice but I'm sure someone else could make one way better.

I have made a Perpetual Calendar programme and am wondering how to get it on this site (ticalc.org).

See, there are already too many basic shells/windows out there that eat up your memory, run slowly, and mess up your graph settings. Some people say "I'm gonna do it in assembly!" and then their next post is, "Where can I learn assembly?" In my opinion, you need at least a year to fully grasp the concept of assembly, and to transfer from only knowing basic to knowing assembly. (I recommend C as a segway). Here is the ultimate idea.

Create a nice looking windows-like shell for a calculator. (specifically 83+ please?) This shell will take up no memory and run fast and efficient. It will allow for archiving and unarchiving, sending, recieving, basic program editing, ASM program editing (maybe), graphing, 3D graphing, list editing, plotting, etc, etc.

The catch:

It's an OS!

Write a completely new OS very similar to the current TI one, in fact, nearly identicial, except with these extended capabilities. This would replace the current OS all together, making it to the new OS as DOS is to Windows. This would be the perfect solution! I'm thinking MirageOS is almost there, it simply needs the standard features such as graphing and program editing. And of course, to become an OS.

But of course, this would take a huge amount of work. I know 83+ asm fairly well, have pretty much mastered basic, and am willing to do whatever I can to help. But I need more than that. Every single advanced programmer would need to unite to accomplish the massive goal of rewriting the TI-OS so that all may enjoy a better calculator. This will wipe out all other shells and will be a true TI revolution.

So, now that I've gotten that motivational speech out of the way, what do y'all think of this? Anybody gonna do it? I know basically nothing about OS writing- maybe simply a modification of the current TI-OS? Hopefully there will be a day when more then 50% of the TI owners have the new OS Shell.

I would like someone to write an asm prgm to help me check if the list from my program exists or not

can some one write an asm program that saves and loads data from a list in a place thatcan be edited or played with. Plz, I really need!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to make a kbd program for my ti89 that can pass whatever is typed in the command line in quote to a program called eqw.

like if 3 + 5 was in the command line, i want to hit the green button and one of the num keys to start lets say kbdprgm8 which would have a routine to read the command line and return "3+5" so i could send that as arg to eqw...

it needs quotes cause eqw(3+5) will evaluate to eqw(8)...where as eqw("3+5") will send 3+5 un-evaluated...

i think a tsr would do it.

I have been working on a virus for ti83 plus

How do you make a program you have written in BASIC show up in the APPS menu? I don't remeber where but I saw one somewhere... Please submit any ideas, preposterous or not

There's a program called BasicBuilder. Search ticalc.org for it.

Hey people, I have a question about compiling my z80 file into ASM. I have an iMac computer and I don't how to compile .z80 to ASM because TASM doesn't run on Macs

thanks

Get DosBox (see web page field), then download TASM and DevPac8x and run them in DosBox. Make sure you TASM 3.1 and NOT 3.2, or it won't work.

I wonder. I have noticed very little discussion about it on various ti calculator forums but I wonder if anyone has really considered the possibility or even going ahead with the idea of porting CP/M 2.2 to the TI calculators. This might work well esp on the + models and + SE models which have more RAM and Archive memory for storing programs. Is anyone doing this or is anyone considering working on a project like this. It would be neat to be able to use the keyboard to type commands at a CP/M prompt and run CP/M applications from archive memory. Another idea I had would be to use the serial link port as an serial port for a Terminal so that you could use a terminal to access the programs if you the LCD screen did not suit you. After all, many CPM programs were not designed to operate on such a small display.

This is a must have for anybody who plays Dungeons and Dragons. It will have dice rollers, a few different ways to do ability scores, and right now, me and a team of 3 other guys are making a character sheet function that will allow you to save up to 4 different sheets. Very easy to use, very user friendly, and will probably be asm.

I have a TI-89 and am using TIGCC to try to write a program that will multitask with ordinary TI-Basic programs. Is there any way to make TIOS look in a different memory location for the keyboard queue and expression stack so I can redirect them to space I allocate for each program? Also, how can I find out where the code was executing before an interrupt handler was called? Thanks to anyone who can help!

I tried posting this before, but I didn't see it so I am assuming it didn't get on...

Anyway, I am using TIGCC to try to write a program that will multitask ordinary TI-Basic programs on my TI-89. Does anyone know how I can change where TIOS looks for the expression stack and keyboard queue so I can redirect them to a new kbdqueue and estack that I allocate on the heap?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

oops! I found my old post...

Please! Can ANYBODY help me???

could there posibly be some sort of program that will run an application on the ti 84+se?
so you could do that for start up then run prgm password then run an app of your choice?

Hey... I was wondering something (i think fairly easy to answer). Isn't it possible to use asm to change the function of a key on your calculator (an interupt?)?
