If we do an individual rating system, is there anyway we could make like teams with ratings?

I think that would be cool as some great programs have come out of the work of several people.

Yes, I agree with this new idea too. Also, I think that people feel really stronly about this - this topic is one of the most replied-to topics on TICALC.ORG!

I can't find a thread where I replied to Morgan.
Why was it deleted?

its a conspiracy, i bet they'll delete this one too....

It was deleted by a staff member, because aparently the staff is not supposed to voice their opinion as string as I did. As I told them it made sence to me that we voice our opinion, thus you guys have the opportunity to directly try and change our minds since we will ultimately be making the final decision.

I don't mean to be offensive, but...there are so many new/inexperienced programmers, and even inexperienced-"epxerienced programmers". There are just SO many people making their own math programs and other common things like ticTacToe...and there are like thousands of each such program...

SO many of these programs are ineficient and I can do much better, etc, etc...but everybody wants to post all their work, right? that's the problem.

I CAN WRITE ANY BASIC PROGRAM BETTER THAN ANYBODY, etc etc...just challenge me. I can improve any program on many levels. No, seriously; even the best of you out there are sometimes questionable compared to the crazy crap I can do. I don't mind at all helping people learn to program better; just ask me and I can help or greatly improve anything (though sometimes I get distracted by school).

There is actually an amount of very complicated high quality BASIC math program on ticalc. But it is so difficult to find them among all the small math programs that most give up!

This claim just shows that you are an incompetent little kid!
Bye

how is he an incompetent little kid??????????????????

it sounds to me like he works hard in school and programs in his free time, that sounds very competent to me

The quality problem in ticalc is caused by a huge amount of programmers that produce many simple small and untested programs. A good example is your own simple creation mathprgm:
1) Try to type F3, p and enter - gives a test error.
2) Furthermore you can enter complex/negative numbers where they don’t belong.
3) You have not declared a single variable as local –a really big problem.
In 1) and 2) you could have used gettype() or getmode(“Complex Format”)=”REAL” in 2).
I am convinced that XX is unable to improve anything. Simply because he wants to make a lot of fast “crazy” programs instead of a few well tested ones - so he is not better off than other incompetent! I hope you will realize that my point isn’t that you should stop or fell bad about programming - programming is funny;-) However, you and others should think more carefully, so one can avoid all the simple bugs!!

And XX is shkaboinka of cause.

> I CAN WRITE ANY BASIC PROGRAM BETTER THAN ANYBODY

Which is why you resort to calling a program Halflife just to grab people's attention?! How did that ever get past the file archivers?

Most interesting Basic programs in my opinion aren't about a few slightly optimized gotos, its about what *logic* goes into a program -- for example fixing that bug in your tic-tac-toe program :)

any one can make an alright program the real programer is the one that would start all over if something was wrong like my link blackjack i made it 5 times before i thoght it was good enuf for ticalc and my draw took me 6 tryes thats just how it is no one can write a good program in one sitting unless you just want it out there no matter how bad or you could just be perfect which no one is.

Are you saying you write the whole program, then scrap it if it doesn't work? Maybe you should try writing it in parts. Just in case, you can use the recal function on the calc to copy lines from one program into one you are working on so that you can write the main program as many small parts and then past the finished program together when you are done debugging the smaller parts.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be working on that compiler for hlz80? You might have more time to work on it if you would quit bragging.

this is sort of off topic but when if ever will the search ever be up and running? but the link to google is good

I Like the Rating Plan: That way the ones that are really bad are at the bottom of the list and programmers wont be mad that their program is gone.

I think that it is a decidedly bad idea to make people to totally omit the low ranked files. I can see being able to sort, but it would be bad for the not so popular games to do anything at all stat-wise. The game might be good, but just not popular. I know this is a self serving plea, but it is true for others besides myself.

-W-

With the rating system you would have the option of showing all the files if you wanted, or if you wanted just some of the better programs.

>>We will not be deleting files (at least not this time around), that was never one of the options

of course not, u would never do that, this was just a crazy scheme that angelboy cooked up to let off some of his anger for repetitive basic programmers, lol ;)

Mmmm...I make some good grilled cheese...

I hear pie is good. Can you make that? (No, not pi, PIE.)

Just speaking of pi makes me hungry. Mmmmm....3.1415926yadayadyada

pi day is coming! less than a week away!

Yeah! maybe I'll shave pi onto the back of my head!
