The compiler looks really good

Thank you. I worked really hard on it and it's nice to get recognition.

What's a TSE compiler?

It is a compiler for a shell for the 83+. There were a lot of games for it coming out in a few weeks time, but since people didn't like it right away, the creater of TSE sort of gave up.

Oh, the 86 people didn't know about that, but now they do. I believe that ASM isn't built into those calcs so that they have to use special shells.

P.S. Tell me if I'm wrong.

It is, but you have to write it in naitive hex.
eg:

AsmPrgm
215087EF7A41215000EF3943C9

(Will create program with name starting at 8751h)

No. Binary is fine too, unlike the 83.

really? how?

The 83 allows programs to be stored in hexadecimal
The 83+ allows programs to be stored in hexadecimal and in binary (written off-calc)
In both cases the memory managment is inefficent and shells fix this problem.

OFFCALC! You see, hex is writeable on calc, then you can run it OR compile it. I've written MirageOS programs completly on-calc. (Crappy ones, but still :)

It is.

It wasn't that people didn't like so much as there seemed to be a general concensus among programmers that it was a bad idea. When ION v1.5 came out, there was suddenly very little advantage to using TSE. I have other projects to persue now...

Robin has since resigned from the TI-83+ and all calc programming to program a 'proper platform'.

Thanx, but I just have an 86, and, btw, your site is down at GeoCities.

Yeah I really haven't done much with it. I don't think it was every really up, because I have been really busy lately, and really the only time that I get on my computer, I spend online talking to this girl I like.

You have much to learn of the ways of the nerd, my young friend;)

Why are there so many Gorilla type games? oh well. These are some good games that I like. People need to think of some original things though. Good job to all.

By the way Nick, you wrote "PANG v1.01 for the PANG v1.01". Shouldn't it be "PANG v1.01 for the 89"? Just felt like putting my $0.02 in.

Fixed.
Grazie.

looks like Nick took my advice.

Nick did :)

I feel good....i started the 2 cence thing a long time ago, Tanks is my favorite game right now! I play it against people in my class all the time, some times lasting the whole period with out one round ending. This is why I plea for a Teacher Key! Or a save game feature, this way I can continue games whenever Im interupted by the bell. Doesnt matter if you can or not, I dont care, it is and will be a great game! Good job!

many gorilla type games, yar..
many good gorilla type games? narrrrr :)

Geez, don't get all banged up about it, it's only my opinion. (that first sentence was only ment for tanks v0.53)

I know what you're talking about. In 1193, there was a Qbasic game calles Bannanas, I think. There were two gorillas throwing bannanas at each other at calculated angles and power, like Tanks. But Tanks has different weapons and is much better. Besides how many "Gorilla" games are there for the TI-89? =)

1193? whoa.

Exactly what I thought.

~Robert

Whooooops! Well, that's what happens when you type with one hand while doing homework with the other! =) It's supposed to be 1993. There was a Qbasic game called bannanas, or something like that. It's like Tanks, only you throw bannanas at each other at different angles/powers. Sorry about the *confusion*.

They're calling that homework nowadays? Wow. Times sure have changed since I did "homework".

Homework? What's that? =)

I think the game was called "Gorillas." QBasic only compiled the files into memory, so you needed it to run it. It was basically a demo, not a real program.

The game is caled "QBasic Gorillas". I love that game and have been playing it since the 5th grade. It's made by Microsoft, and I stil have an original copy. And it isn't compiled. It's just multiple files inside a file to make a basic game, like the TIOS's basic on the 83 and 83+.

Actually, as far as I know, it's simply one large text file. QBasic just has a dialog to switch between all the subroutines, which makes it appear like a multi-file project. I liked QBasic a lot when I was younger, especially the way it put every BASIC command into uppercase. It also formatted every identifier exactly like its definition, so that you didn't have to use the shift key at all most of the time. Oh, those good old times...

QBASIC was the best! It had the best indexed help file ever created, and it was simple and fast to use. I programmed Tetris in it once. It was great for learning how to program.

QBasic? 1993? Might as well be 1193 :)
