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

why doesn't someone write a C,C++, or c complier for te 83+.I know people will say stuff about size.So why not after compilation disassemble the program and optimize it for size and speed at the assewmbly level.

Optimization is something that is VERY hard to do with software; a human has to do it. Why disassemble it afterwards? Why not just take the assembly code generated by the compiler? Anyways, I there's already a Z80 C compiler-I found the link in the message board for the "TIPower released" news item. It's called z88dk.

Actually, why not just use TIPower? It has a more calc-oriented C-like syntax, and can be found in the Windows Utilities.

Optimzing the disassembled code will requre more time and effort than just writing the program in asm from the beginning.

I dont know if this has been done yet, but i think it would be a good idea:

A text editor that uses the graph size text, and has word wrapping. Word wrapping would be the key feature here. I think it would be quite difficult, but greatly appreciated.

Also, does anyone know how to access all the greek symbols and other characters? I havent been able to figure that out.

I needed help and didnt know the right turn so here I go, I have the alien font now how do I install it so it works? or any font for that matter?

Which Calc?

TI-83 Plus

calc

You have to get a proggam called Omnicalc. You can get lower cased letters, use the FONTS, and much more. ask shkaboinka on how to get it. I got it from him.

If you have an '86, you can use ATE by Jonah Cohen (in the Misc Assembly progs section). If you have an '83 or '83+, maybe someone could port it.....

Why doesn't someone make a shell for the '83+ that displays and can run ALL programs, not just Ion, MirageOS, or TSE ones? I would write this myself, but I'm used to asm for the '86, and it'll take a bit to learn assembly for the '83+.

How would/can one access the calcs' random number generator in TI-83+ assemlby Language code, I'd REEAAAALLYYYYYYYYYY--- like to know thx.

Hi,

I'm totally new to Calc programming, but I would appreciate it if someone would clear this up for me...

Is it possible to have your calc hooked up through you cable, and send info to your computer?

I know that it's possible (obviously) to send stuff to your calc from your computer, but is it possible to send stuff to your computer from your calc?

I would like to know if it is possible to send data like this... I've got an idea for programming - you can use your calc to control certain functions on your computer.

Obviously you would need some software hooked on to your com port, but that shouldn't be the hard part.

So... can your calc send data to your computer?

Thanks

no it is not possiable

Yes, it is possible.

At least I have sent many backups of my calc's memory to the computer, and it's allways been working well. ;)

The link port supports two way communication, so it's just a matter of making software for the computer and the calc. You can find specifications about the link port in many assembly programming guides. The built-in basic language also has a command to send a number over the link cable.

did you select something from the calcutlator and the computer just recived it? or did you have the computer waiting

If you're using the Graphlink software, you get the calc ready by going back to the homescreen, then connect the cable, open the software, and select Receive Files from the Link menu.

Sure-you get someone who can program in Visual Basic .NET and someone who can program in BASIC or assembly-augmented BASIC, and essentially instruct TI-Connect to transmit x and receive y, then put y or x in a certain folder for your Visual Basic program to use (in a very simple example). This could be used to synchronize files on calcs and computers (AMS and Windows, respectively) so that people or companies could avoid the expense and excess weight of laptops-just carry the calc around (meetings, stocking, field work) and upload the file from the calc, or modify the existing file on the computer.

I am SO bored & Out of Ideas for TI83+ BASIC and Java AWT; I challenge anyone to see what I can't do in TI83+ BASIC that is remotely possible; I can't get my "Egyptian War" to work correctly, & it's not my fault, the calc is just being stupid! (I am still exploring some features of the JSDK, but have it mostly down). I COULD make an all-out 3D wireframe editor like the one I'm making using the JSDK (java), but it would be REALLY REALLY SLOW, and take up at least of all the Memory. Go ahead and give me any challenge, but PLEASE: I do NOT WANT 2000 POSTS for me on the SAME THING. Also, don't expect me to make something like "Command & conquer" or expect something like that to work at any decent speed as a BASIC PROGRAM. (There is even a way around recursion (modules/procedures, calls whithin calls) called a STACK); Okay, I am ready for you people to ask me to do things that shouldn't be done in z80 BASIC...Hello?...does anybody every read this stuff?

Please...A CAS. The teachers don't associate 83+ with CAS yet.

TI-BASIC is a CAS.

Not Z80 BASIC.

In theory, any program can be written itteratively instead of recursively.

Make a program in basic that can controll light and sound devices.

How about something to make use of the calculators LCD to display winamp song titles
