Crabcake Released
Posted by Ryan on 17 June 2011, 14:37 GMT
Here is a piece of news that should make any ambitious TI-83+ and TI-84+ programmer perk up in their seat and start the weekend with a smile. About a month ago, resident user Rickie "Hot_Dog" Malgren released Crabcake, an assembly library that allows for the development of software larger than 8 KB of pure code. The solution is both elegant and uninvasive, making it a very viable solution for those of you who wish to be less fettered by size constraints.
Included is documentation about Crabcake's usage, which contains some very straight-foward instructions, some warnings on coding practices that should be avoided when using the library, an example, and even a version for the Axe Parser with all of the same amenities. The impossible is now possible.

Nice to see this featured. I was wondering if it would, because at first it just sounds like just another ASM utility, but then you remember the 8 KB limit was something people wanted to break for so long.
Hopefully people aren't forced to use apps all the time now, especially Axe programmers.
Also I like hot dogs. :P

Is it fair to assume this uses extra RAM pages rather than manipulating ports in some way to break the $C000 limit?
Nifty either way.
