Thanks Thomas and the whole TICT!

cool...
I think a new folder should be created for the ebooks...

Yes, there are folders for level files. And there should be separate folders for ebooks depending if they are fiction, non fiction, and maybe a separate folder for shakespear.

And here is a question:

We have a lot of computer programs that convert computer files into files that can be viewed on the calculator such as greyscale pictures from bitmaps, movies through timm, and text files through simple text conversion programs or a more advanced conversion program such as the ebook maker.

But aren't such programs for each individuals own PERSONAL use and not for cluttering ticalc?


I think the answer depends on how much effort goes into the conversion process. If it takes a lot of effort then it should be uploaded so as others do not have to waste their effort. I know that greyscale picture files do not take any effort so I say that they should be deleted off of ticalc. I do not know anything about files made by timm or the ebook generator. I have heard that making ebooks does take some effort.

And as a final rule the authors of the origional viewer should be allowed to upload files as demos even if they do not meet the criteria of having effort put into them.

Seriously, the graphics folder for each calc is meant to have cool programs that demonstrate sprites, 3d, ect, and not be just grayscale pictures.

I have to disagree. If ticalc.org was facing a shortage of space or something, it would be OK to delete some things, but just deleting files because they're "too easy to make" is wrong. One of the great things about ticalc.org is that anyone can submit a file for everyone to enjoy. I personally don't download pictures from the graphics section, but that doesn't mean that nobody does and they should be removed. If there is a problem with grayscale pictures cluttering the graphics folders, the answer is not to delete them and anger the people who made them. A seperate folder would solve the problem.

On the topic of ebooks, I definitely think there should be a seperate folder for them, although I don't think we need seperate folders for each genre. There aren't enough books yet to justify having seperate folders for fiction, non-fiction, etc.

So would it be all right for some fool who can use a program to upload 50 individual zip archives of their favorite car or super heroes?

why not? somebody alreadly posted *two sets* of icons, each icon as a seperate file.

thank you for this argument: this demonstrates that the problem exists and that a solution should be found :)

Cool, nice program. It's a bit like dstar in a way, except the levels are smaller and movement can be a bit more complicated.

Yes! Now I get a smaller chess program for my calculator. This is going straight to my calc. The best thing about this programing group is all their programs are nostub programs and don't require a shell. Also does anyone know where I can get the Space Monkey Quest for the 89 that has the monkey instead of Mario?

Yeah, Thomas Nussbaumer is a great buddy!
I know him, because I studdy in Garz (Austria) and I asked him some questions about programming and how to build my own radio-link.

I think everybody who knows TI-Chess would thank him a lot for this great break-through! (Of course not to forget the other people working on TIGCC ;-) )

Very gooood work guys, and please keep on working!
