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

Ok, here's the deal. I want to know the little bit of code from the Startup app that makes it so that whenever the calc is shut down manually then turned back on, the program runs. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I know that you could use condition Autorun to work after a certain key is pressed, but I don't know if that includes 2nd[OFF].

I apologize if I'm not getting the hint, but what device are you using?

i think that it may be for the ti-83+
but,i could be wrong
but wait,¿what exactly are you going to use it in...
do you jus' wanna know the code so you can put in an
app that you are making or jus' plain curiosity?

This is the BEST idea; anybody can do this (it is MUCH easier than it sounds in many aspects, and there are SO MANY WAYS you can do this, and SO MANY THINGS you can add)

THE POINT:
The idea is to make a PROGRAM that will read "BASIC" from a source file and convert into Assembly commands in a .z80 file (Tasm can compile it into a .8xp or something). The cool thing is that, since it's your program (or "our's", if anybody thinks we should get a bunch of people to help with how it will work), the code does not have to be in the EXACT format as on the calc; it can be however you want.

You could Also add extra features/commands that coudn't be done in z80 BASIC, but that could be done in ASM. However it's done (however simple), it can be in any format. It could be like a new programming languege or something that is nearly the same as (or better than) BASIC

It could start with the easy stuff like Disp, ClrHome, Input for Vars, Rom Calls, etc... and could have more complicated stuff added later. If anyone wants to take the idae far enough, then maybe I could see an actual Compiler thingy.

Someone once made something caled EZASM if I remember correctly, but I didn't like it because it was VERY limited in what it could do and it had bugs.

I know Qbasic and I could write an EXE (that could only be run under DOS, so win XP may be incompatable) that could do what you want. However, I don't know assembly that well and would need someone to write the routines necessary for the commands. In fact, I could even include an option to have the basic compiler use the tasm program to automatticaly assemble the program after compiling the basic to asm.

Also, it might be possible to make this compiler compatable with shells(like ion or MirageOS) or even allow someone to make their own APP with it.

It would take quite some time to make all these features work, but I think it could be done with the correct number of people with right experience. Just email me if you want to do this.

Yes, it would take time; but it is completely do-able. I got an email from someone who wants to setup some sorta group thing involving this. Here's how it is:
We would use a computer program to convert commands and stuff in, say a *.txt (or we make our own *.*), into z80 assembly code (*.z80). The idea was that it would be like TI8x BASIC code that would be compiled into more efficient/faster ASM code.

HOWEVER, There are some annoying things about the BASIC format / commands, and Other people want it to be like C++ and other things... SO, I think "we" should
all decide on the format and it would be like our own language. It should be as simple to use as ti8x-BASIC, but also have more/different functions, and be able to do COMPLICATED things AS WELL.

I suppose We'd have to come up with a table of commands/keywords/whatever, and decide how they would be expressed in ASM; Also, the Calc vars and ROM Calls should be able to be used to. I suppose we should get some stuff to work, and constantly add more.

{We / ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO HELP} should organize somehow and debate, organize, etc..

I don't know if who it was who emailed me wants me to give his email out... but since this was my idea as far as I know, EMAIL ME AT Shkaboinka@yahoo.com. IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE KNEW HOW TO MAKE A WEBPAGE OR HOW WE SHOULD MANAGE THIS; ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME

i dont really wanna join or anything i just saw the part about the website i know a hosting site that you can do just about any thing but there is a catch your username is going to be part of the url so make sure it is www. then what ever else you want see my user name is www.kullinks oh yeah he web host is tripod
it's powered by trelixx it's awesome you can even put a dl page if you want.. see my page to get the jest of the idea oh yeah while you are there can you please click on the Kings Of Chaos Links it would be great

please e-mail me for any questions

Yah-know, I suggested something like that a lil' while
ago. No-body really payed any attention to it and actually *swatted* my idea down, they said it would be
too "inefficient", but I still believe that it still
can be done.!

Great idea

I'm new here but I'd love to help out.

What are some things that people would like to see in an AMS BASIC general purpose library? Basically, do you want to see things from C and 68k ASM/Exec or just some new functions that currently don't exist (windows, icons, printing, internet tools from VBScript, etc)? Should there be less math and more graphics etc-a departure from 'calculator' and more general purpose functions? What would be useful for programming vs. users who aren't programmers?

what if there was a compilere that would allow you to mix up B.A.S.I.C. C and Assembly languages and have it compile to a .8XP file.Think of how fast a lot of things could be done

There is-in Morvlon 3.00 (coming soon-www.oahat.org-$25.00). There is a program editor on there for both PC and Mac which allows you to use 'include' statements, for example:

:<stuff>
:include othrlang
:</stuff>

where othrlang is the statement allowing you to use BASIC, C, ASM, Visual Basic (seriously), and some others. The whole idea is to beat Microsoft's ".NET" initiative and to gain wider acceptance for 68k calcs as portable, inexpensive computers. If you have the programming knowledge, why not use all the languages your group knows?

There's also the AMS program editor :)

Well, the SDK. I made an assumption that it would work on AMS, which it doesn't (at least on 2.07 & 2.09). It works on SDK simulator (OS 2.05), at least, that I know. Sorry.

The title of this post applies to what could be something BIG that is about to come together; see the Root Post above titled "BASIC to ASM" (I don't know how old this post will be when YOU read it, so it may end up on the previous page)

Who uses pages?

People with slow computers use pages.

Hey, I was wondering if people would be interested in wireless transmitter/recievers for TI's? (designed for 83,83+..Or any with the same dimensions) I am very sure i can get em made but i need to know if people would use them? They would go about 600ft! and the best part, they are less then $60!(Plus shipping) if you would use it just email me and tell me..or IM me. Give me ideas. (Also, its 600ft transmission..or 600 yards the people didnt specify..but still..both are GREAT!)

The posibiltys for it are great! Chat rooms in class! lol..anything really. Please tell me what you think of this idea. Im almost 90% sure it can be done! My people are looking into it :) Talk to me people! Thanks!

sure! i could use some in </cough cough> math class
not saying that i cheat it is just that maybe my schools algebra2/calculus classes could use them
you see my teacher programs the tests in ti-os basic
and it takes up a lot of time to plug in the calc send data un-plug next person:plugin send data un-plug and BLAHBLAHBLAH you get the idea...

This has been done.

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

check the maths section

->its !in_there but thx anyway, I think I may have found
it in 83+/asm/source er whatever the address is.
