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

It seems there would be lots of use for a Fortran interpreter that runs on TI programmable calculators, perhaps it might be possible to make a Fortran compiler... Or for a more complete version of Basic, or Perl, Rexx, awk, Python interpreters that run on-board or translator programmes which would work with Graph Link/TI Connect &c. to convert code to the target calculators' native programming language or assembly language on a PC then send it over.

Also Unix shells for the TI-92 Plus and others will be a big hit...

And perhaps an interpreter that runs HP-48 programmes on TI calculators and vice versa

also does anyone know if there are spreadsheet programmes for the TI calculators which have macro/scripting capabilities?

Can someone make a assembly program that saves a string as a program? (Basic, like if str0 was "ClrHome:Pause" , it would make a program that would have those commands.((all I would like is to be able to store a string to a program)))

This idea was inspired by a freinds TI 89.
Anyway... the idea is that the program is an add-on type program that allows you to enter single lines of code to run programs with the given variables.

For example "QUAD(2,2,2)" would execute the program QUAD with variable equal to two, two and two. This would make using a calculator a lot easier (for me at least) and would make programming more fun.

If this exists please do tell.

Hi, i might sound alittle dumb but im not sure how to write a formula on the computer for my ti-84 SE but i can write um on the calculator...anyway i can do one on the comp so i can have ack up files if my calculator ever runs outa batteries? thxs =)

I think it would be really cool if someone made a search engine,something like Google.

I need help from any asm programmers. I am good with basic, but no absolutely no assembly. I'm looking for a ti-83plus asm program that will check for a program whose name is stored in Str0 and return 1 if it exists and 0 if it doesn't.

I've just submitted a program called CalcTimer. It is a simple stopwatch for the calculator that keeps time in seconds. If you are interested in it, just search "CalcTimer" and it is the only result (last time I checked). It keeps extremely acurate time to the second and I think it's really handy. In addition, it is small and takes hardly any memory.

However, I have a problem. It keeps time ONLY in seconds. So you can time something and it will say "389 sec." for example. Is there anybody who knows how to make it count in minutes and hours in addition to seconds? I would love advice on this and if I could learn how, I will submit an update with the new feature.

Thanks.

Here's an Idea for someone with more calculator savvy than I: seeing as the old macs, like OS 7 and such, ran on the same motorola 68k processors, shouldn't it be easy to adapt OS 7 or one of the other old Mac operating systems to be installable on the TI-89/92/V200 as an operating system? Perhaps I don't understand, but this doesn't sound to difficult for someone with enough experience with emulation and ASM.

Hello, everybody:

For all of you z80/Axe programmers out there, you might be hoping a Object Oriented Language for the Ti8x calcs willl eventually come out. Well, my new language soon will be.

Called 'DE (also called ShadowDestination or SHADDE, named after a shadow register in z80 ASM), this new language is a mix between C#, C++, and a bit of my own genious. Using a true approach to OOP, it includes inheritance, polymorphism, local vars, and more from normal OOP. But, it also had a new catch: variables now have a status var, called their shadow register. Example: var APPLE has a status var of 'APPLE. Status vars can be use for multiple things: the pointer to the actual var's data address (boring), the times the var has been changed, if the var is even or odd, or any of other 27 different staus reads. Below is an Example code from the still in progress on-calc editor/compiler:

Start as NORMAL
Start at NORMAL
Build as APP
v obj(MAIN)
{
PUBLIC:
m sayHello()
PRIVATE:
i X=0:i Y=0
}
m MAIN::sayHello()
{
deout.X.Y."Hello, World!"
k.wait
}

Nope, this is not a hoax. It's starting to actually work, too. Want to get in on this soon to be historic event for the Ti8x family?

If so, I'll be willing to accept a few people into my so far growing team of developers, testers, and researchers. Eamil me at ASHBAD.ALVIN@gmail.com, and I'll send you a small test to see if you're up to date on your z80 ASM knowledge.

Au revoir mes amies, and until 'DE's release in early December, take no mierd from Axe programmers!

could anyone post a prog for Ti83+ and silverlink cable so you can control the cursor on your pc?

Id like someone to make a program that converts a web page to a ti-84 program and it can view the page on calc but no updates (Like if someone posts a new post on a website it would not appear untill you convert the webpage again and send the updated version to calculator)

hello
my idea is a lan suite. i was hoping to find a awsome lan suite online but i found nothing like i was looking for. what i was looking for was a program that has group and private chat. image board. forum. polls. file sharing. and emails. all in tabs. i was also had high hopes of customization ability like buttons, backgrounds, scroll bars and text... the idea is all lan suites are there own server it caries the fiels and data and you can resive from anuther with the same program so you can update while not eaven conected to the lan or web.... can some one make this program?

I know this can be a big project, but a folder-based file organization system is long overdue for the 84. An app that uses an archived appvar to keep tabs on everything in archive, and a non-archived appvar to keep tabs on all in RAM, along with hooks to the Memory, Programs, Lists and Vars menus, would wrap it up. The hooks may also need to intercept program(And homescreen) calls to programs, lists, vars, etc. Also in good order is a method for compatible apps to be coded and take advantage of this folder structure for programs(Use in shells), and in appvars(Only if compatible). Once made, it could be the solution to a hundred-program-long menu.

It would be really cool if some one could write a new OS for the Ti Nspire that better emulates the Ti 84 while in 84 mode. And maybe a way to make the ti 84 mode use the entire screen of the nspire.

Could someone make a new OS for the ti nspire that better emulates the th 84. Also mayb fix some of the instabilities in the MP os.

Hey just wondering would you guys have any ideas for functions of an artificial intelligence system that i am making? Also how do you upload programs seeing that i am new here ;) thx.

For uploading a file, check near the very bottom of the front page. There is text that reads “Have a file we don't? We welcome all contributions”. Click that link to find the info.

For your other question, you might want to ask on the mailing list/forums: www.ticalc.org/community/lists/
Pretty much no one reads this section of the site anymore, and since there's no post notification feature here, your question probably won't get seen. :-)

I have a programming group thing going on. We
just got everything set up and are ready to start
stuff. There's at least 30 people involved in 83+
basic/asm}, 89{basic,asm,C}, and a few others;
basically any platform anybody wants to work with.
[there is a good range in skill level, grade-level
(8th-college), and many things; it's pretty cool]

Everything is Free-Stlye: We communicate any ideas,
works-in-progress, and finished stuff, and then we
{finish/add to/enhance/optimize/make/help/whatever}
them. Any {interest/ideas for us} = contact me at
shkaboinka@yahoo.com

This post reminds me, are there any decent programming groups anymore. I know there used to be, and I am looking to join one, but it seems like only the bad ones are still alive. If anyone has a decent TI-83+ group, or one that includes that calc, I would be willing to join depending on the web page. Oh, and not just basic. I could use some more experienced ASM programmers who would be willing to give tips\answer questions. Thanks :)

I'm trying to start a programing group
-Nick's ALL-
I will alow any language programer into my group, any age, etc..
But I haven't found anyone who wants to jion
One of my friends knows C++ so I'll ask if he wants to learn te 83+ version of C++ to make games. I am currently learning Z80 assembly (and understanding it pretty well) I'm planing on making port of MegamanX to the 83+ once I can program Z80 without refering to the tutorial.
-Nicholas D. Sprenger-
My e-mail:
Sthemutater@aol.com

i would like to join a club so if you got one going i would like to join it. i know a decent amount of programming and would like to learn more. i am currently working on a spanish to english translator. it will include over 600 words.
if get this club going you can email me at mschit@hotmail.com

I have made a sort of aol instant messenger for the ti83+ for my school. Im only a 7th grader and if any one wants to help in the production of it email me at NICKWIZ13@aol.com

i will be happy to send the pgrm to u

What are you using for transmission?
(Frequency, AM/FM, bitrate, encoding system...)

Group hasn't started yet
Changing Name to
Cool Calc Productions
someone email me some stuff on C/C++ for 83+
(I know it isnt as good as strait asm.I'll write stuff in C/C++, compile it, disassemble it, optimize it at the assembly level and then recompile it)
I'm also planning out a website for the group oncew its started
I need people to join - I don't care if you do B.A.S.I.C., C, C++, or Assembly. It will be for the 83+ at first but plan to expand and emcompass other calcs as well
my email is:
Ycantihearu0@aol.com
(btw thats a [zero] before the "@")

I have been prgramming BASIC ont the TI 86 for about 3 years and could help you a lot with the 83. E-mail me at jsleight5204@yahoo.com with reply.

Oh I am so sorry; I beat you to it :-( ...I just found your post about it at ticalc.org today though.

What I have though is my own language that is like C++/Java, and it is VERY near completion (just need to fill in a few blanks); maybe you want to participate in it? I need a little help to finish it. For more information, see my group page:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ Antidisassemblage

(there is a space in the link that you will have to cut out; I had to put it there to post it)

What do you think? Do you want to help / test it? You can email me back or IM me ("CrazyProgrammer")

i have a 2 player black jack imer and formula program (all basic) and i know how to prgram basic on the PC. i fell i am ready to join any program group. post a message if any one has one to join (trying to lern asm)

Did you mean that you're trying to learn assembly? If you did, then click on the link for a great one that I used myself.

do you know of any compilair that works with windows xp b/c tasm doesnt.

-thanks

Have you tried Assembly Studio 86? (In the archives, under Utilities/Windows/Assembly)

thanks, i going to go try it right now

Actually, I have TASM working under Windows XP Home Edition w/SP1. It worked fine for me. I think the version was 2.1 or 3.0. Do you know DOS? You have to go to the command prompt in the accessories. E-Mail me if you have any questions.

How about Spitfire Productions? We've not been going too long, and I seem to be writing most of the stuff :) but we've got a site with .plan files, a forum, news, info &c - check it out with the 'web page' link above.

What IS the c++ version for ti-83+? I'm pretty good at console things in c++, so I would really like to know this. You can e-mail me at mouchet90@hotmail.com

There is none. Only ASM is available.

Not quite true....try z88dk.

I thought he meant on PC.

z88dk *is* for the PC. :-D

I tried to email you, but I got a MAILER-DAEMON thing (that email address is no good), so here is what I wrote:

Well, I have the next best thing...might even be BETTER, and it is for all the z80 platfomrs from the TI82 to the TI86. This is my project and is is VERY near completion.

see my group page for a fuller description:

http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/Antidisassemblage

FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES TICALC DOES NOT ALLOW LONG CHARACTER STINRGS, thus there is a space in that URL; you will have to manually remove it..in fact, maybe my "(web page)" link is the same thing :-)

What do you think? Are you interested in helping / testing it?

OAHAT Project 35

somebody out there must make a program that blocks them memory menu from being accesed and prevents programs and variables from being deleted 1 more thing it must also be a serious password protection program

last thing i promis
if some one has made a good turtioral then you need to email it to me at mike8161990@yahoo.com and some starter programs would be realllllllllllllly nic
Thank You,
Whoever

That program should be easy enough to write - a keyhook that traps '2nd+Mem' could jump to a password routine. If you got it write it would pass the keyval for '2nd+Mem' to the acc, then exit - else it would output 0 to acc then exit. I'll give it a go (and dedicate it to you!) I could also get it to block the prgm, apps &c options... Nice idea!

You can already make a BASIC program that appears to block everything; it is the most realistic trick I have ever seen in BASIC, and it is only 3 lines!

PROGRAM: PHOENIX2
:ClrHome
:Disp " Done
:While 1
:Input "",Str0
:End

not that there are 12 spaces before "Done", and "Done" is typed out; If you can't use lowercase, then do this:

:Disp " Dot
:Output(1,15,"ne

"Dot" is in the catalog, and "n" and "e" are under the VARS:5... menu.

That's nonsense. Press On and you're back at the command line. By the way, it should be 11 spaces (you forgot a dot ath the end of "Done.")

there is no dot there

There is already a 83+ flash APP to do that. (or most of it) Krolypto by Detached Solutions

See link:
1. go to link
2. scroll down to the bottom and find "Krolypto 1.1"

I think that CalcMan (TI-86 Misc section) does that-a password protected memory menu.

MirageOS or w/e does it..if u open it and hit hte ALPHA button of the "X,T0,n" button or Mode (one of em..lol) it bings u 2 a menu and its in one of the sub menus.

Or you can Download Krolypto From The Files Here
archives/83plus/asm/ and find it here

also,

press The Search Button on the website(not the window!)
Type in KROLYPTO and voila it protects start-up,applications menu And Memory With The Same PW

Ain't It Cool?!?!?

but the sad thing is if you forget your pw you have to take out ALL batteries(yes even the backup) and let it sit for a while put it back in and send all of your programs back to your calc

Actually If you press one of the batteries down from the positive node then let go and turn it on and repeat long enough rather rapidly it will reset your ram and the password protection will be gone

my games keepgetting randomly dleted and when i reset the ram, the com back. i dont kno if mirage has anything to do withit

RAM means Random Access Memory, that is why it keeps getting deleted each time you reset the ram.

Check the 83+ archive for 'Krolypto' it gives your the option to password protect: Apps, Startup, Memory. and also has a encripter and decripter, but i think it would work better if someone remade this and took out the encripter :-p, it take 2 apps spaces!
If you want it for another calc, well it's for the Z80 platform soo...

I want to make programs/hardware/etc, to connect a usb pen drive to a ti-89. This way, your "flash" memory would increase a lot! (at least 32 MB). It could be a great idea, because a pen drive costs about US$30 or less.

The problems are:

To create a program which be able to read the devices filesystem. The best way could be a TSR which enables the device as a directory in varlink, but it's almost impossible.

To create a device (circuit, etc), to transform the USB signal into a ti-89 compatible serial signal. It have to include batteries for the pen drive.

Sorry, but my English isn't very good.

That's it.

Wow. Now THAT is an idea. If I understand corectly (I understand few people) you want to connect the calc to a JumpDrive. Wow. Can you say 512MB? How many MILLIONS of progs/apps/appvars could you store? Someone quick! make an app that would do that!

Well, if you assume an average size of 5KB/prog, then that could hold....wait, let me pull out my calc.....wow.....102,400 progs-probably a sizable fraction of ticalc.org's archives.

Also the TI 84+ / TI 84+SE / TI 89 Ti have usb ports built-in

"Mmm...byte-sized programs..."

Nick, those posts are OLD, way before they came out with those. ticalc.org REALLY should do a better job with these message boards; you have to DIG to find the recent posts...its work to even find where your new posts go!

Ive been programming for awhile, so Ill post some stuff Ive done once I get a graphlink and you guys can contact me @ nickpoer@hotmail.com to give feedback. Ill tell everyone now that all i know is basic on 82 and 83/83+ so look there for stuff.

I have made a sort of aol instant messenger for the ti83+ for my school. Im only a 7th grader and if any one wants to help in the production of it email me at NICKWIZ13@aol.com

i will be happy to send the pgrm to u

I am currently learning TI-86 assembly language. If anyone could help me with this though e-mail or other means or just direct me to a good TI-ASM programming tutorial it would be appreciated. Thanx!

Oh, yeah, i am starting a group called the (insert name here). OK, I can't think of a name, but still, I'm starting a group. If you wan't to join or just wan't to cap on me, e-mail me at:

SychoS4@aol.com

I am experienced in TI-86 BASIC and am currently learning TI-86 ASM. I borrowed my friend's TI-83+ but I have to give it back so I'm not even gonna start programming for that. Need programmers. All excepted.
Thanx!!!

hey i would be happy to join i program for the ti-83+ basic i all ready have alot of programs. A good name could be "open door productions" or somethin.

email me if your intrested at bunchofstuff@aol.com

Thanks, I think I'm gonna cal my group the "United Programmer's" or somethin' of the like. I just published a really crappy program cal "NCrypt". I wrote it as an experiment and released it anyway.

Hey. Group? details?

KillFest

Well, I have an 86 but I'm thinkin about buying a 89 with my christmas money(yes, I still have it). I borrowed my friends and I think it is so kick ass!

There's a great assembly tutorial by Ciaran McCreesh-click on the link.

THAT POST IS OLD; DONT READ IT; THAT GROUP DIED, but I have something MUCH better; see my RECENT post further up called "Antidisassemblage!"; now THAT is a great idea, and I am looking for help!
