Introduction
This tutoria introduced the Moka
syntax. It deploys an application that shows a message.
What to do
1. First, Moka compiler needs to be
installed. Decompress the mdk2.xx directory
into a local device(ex: C:\ under Windows or / underLinux). If you are
using Linux, you must grant execution right to the program (typing
'chmod +x Moka' in the installation directory).
2. Open Notepad or any other text editor
(Edit or UltraEdit are doing well to) and type that :
import moka.lang.System;//Imports moka.lang.System class.
public class Hello {
/*
Defining a static "main" function, returning nothing, which is the
entry point of the program.
*/
public static void main
()
{
System.println("Hello, world!"); //Print
"Hello, world!"
System.read();//Wait for
the user to press a key.
}
}
3. Save your doccument under the name
"Hello.java".
4. Open a console (Under Windows : Start
menu -> Run ..., then type "command") then go to the directory
in which you had installed Moka (If Moka was installed in the
"C:\mkd2.xx" directory, then type "cd C:\mdk2.xx"). You should
now
type "Moka " (under Windows) or ("./Moka" under Linux) folowed by the
explicit path of the "Hello.java source
file" (if you saved the source file in the "C:\temp directory, the
completed command will looks like "Moka C:\temp\Hello" under
Windows). If the
source file was as above, you should obtain "Project built successfuly."
5. Moka has created a directory
named TIGCC which contains the C source code of the application.
If TIGCC (GNU C Compiler for TI-89 / TI-92Plus calculators) is
installed, start the IDE. If TIGCC is not installed yet, download
it on http://www.ticalc.org, then proceed to the installation.
6. Start the TIGCC project in the TIGCC
directory named Hello.tpr. (File -> Open ...).
7. Compile the projet (Project ->
Compile).
8. Once compiled, transfert the executable
files (Hello.89z for TI-89 or Hello.9xz for TI-92Plus) on your
calculator, then start the application by typing "hello()" in the Home
screen.
