I didn't know there was a newsletter! Course I'm the last to know anything, so it doeasn't matter. I read the letter and thought it was good. Now if we could come up with a language that can convert to ASM from a program. Hmm. What about a generic program for the PC that you could use to make ASM code and compile it on the calc?

>if we could come up with a language that can convert to ASM from a program

That's exactly how the C compiler works. The C compiler converts your C code into ASM. It has to, because ASM is the only language that the processor understands.

Technically, ASM must also be converted into machine language before it can be run. That's what the assembler does. Machine language is the actual code that the processor executes. Machine language is almost entirely unreadable by humans.

Hmm. I wonder if we could put together a drag'n'drop editor that would allow us to place an element into a program onscreen (In ASII format) and have the corresponding commands show up. It would be a little like MS-Frontpage or an HTML editor. Because if some common tricks can be stuck in there, with some customizable macro actions, I think it wouldn't be too hard to prt it and compile it on the calc. But, it would be nice to try though, huh?

Here at Dryftco, if we can retrieve a person who can manage Sprite Detail and Motion Zones, we would like you to help us with our Project, a Rainbow6/Doom Clone using the FAT SDK for the TI-89. Basically, we are CALLING ALL C PROGRAMMERS!!!!!! If you know that you can do ANYTHING like the info stated above, plz goto http://www.dryftco.org -or-
http://zap.to/dryftco
and post in the forums that you can help us. It would be greatly appreciated. We can do everything else, we just need help with Sprites and/or AI. This game is HIGH in demand and almost assures INSTANT FAME for whomever helps write/make it. Well, thats all for now, but if you would like to help, just go to our forums at

Um what does this have to do with the main topic: TIMM, TIGCC, Newsletter? Sort of off-topic don't you think? :-)

YEs it is a bit off topic, but every articale has off topics. We are in need of help and i figured that this has more reads than ANY other site on the net about Ti Calcs. Go Figure Why =P
