<FLAMEBAIT>2nd Post WOOOHOOOHH!!!</FLAMEBAIT>

Even though a beta is still a preliminary release, it's still cool. With all the programmers' tools with this, maybe we will get a burst of higher quality programs, not just graphics of girls or grayscale pics that a beginner may feel proud of, but other despise.

Hehe,

Is it EXACTLY like programming for C or is it close or what is it like? (I don't have an 89 but I might start programming in C for it)

The TIGCC tools suite is not the programming suite. The TIGCC IDE is. It's separate.

C on a TI-89 *is* C. Technically, C is not a single specific language anymore. It has a basic set of rules and guidelines, but modulization has caused it to expand into something much more.

As for FLASH programming, I have no clue. It looks like C, for the one program I looked at. But then again, I could be wrong.

what I meant was:
*Does it have the C commands for the computer (like the most common ones such as printf() and such)?
*Can it use the libraries for C (probably not) except for color graphics libraries?
*basically, is it like the C for computer (does it have the same functions) or is it just a takeoff of C?

The TIGCC C language does have printf() functions and stuff like that. Like I said, C language is C language. There is no 'takeoff' on it; if there was a language that followed the exact same rules and had less functionality, it would just be C with less features. As for libraries, yes it can; just not the ones designed for the computer.

Plus, C has different methods and functions on every system it is programmed for.

The suite now includes ExePack support for kernel-dependent programs.

Only nostub programs could be exepacked before because of a bug. I am the programmer who has corrected the bug, and I released a patched version of exepack and ttstart a few weeks ago, before TT 1.00 was released. I got bugs reports which said this version didn't work correctly. Actually the kernel was the reason of the problem.

So please use the last version of Universal OS, DO NOT use Doorsos, which is now out-of-date. You can find Universal OS in the archives of ticalc (link above). And there should be no problem.

Good job on porting SF2T from Rom version 1 to 2!!! I finally found out why it didn't work, and that there was a port. Anyways, now i have erased my whole memory and just put SF2T on it, since it was much better than all the other games combined. Still, I can't get past the third person in Tournament Mode, since it always freezes with an Illegal Instruction, and somehow after that the System portion of the ram grows tremendously, and i don't have enough ram to run SF2T anymore, so i have to reset the ram. Do you know why that happens, or any way to have it happen less often?

The code for some players is simply buggy, so you cannot play with or against all players without it crashing. (I have warned you about SF2T being very buggy.)

I know, Vega ALWAYS crashes, and crashes bad (taking out batteries sometimes don't even work, you need to wait), but most of the time, it's that Illegal Instruction. If no one knows why that happens, at least tell me why when I look in my Mem, the System portion increased by about 10kb?

This seems good...

several questions from a really stupid programmer(I mean, guy who owns a programmable calc):

What is an eBook?
What is an eBook generator?
" "reader?
What is that Nostob thing?

Do you believe that I am stupid now? ok, just making sure

eBook: Book (or any text, for that matter) readable on the TI-89/92+ with the TICT (TI Chess Team) eBook reader.

eBook generator: Program for your computer that turns normal text into the eBook format so the eBook reader can read it.

Nostub programs: Programs that don't require additional libraries to run [on the calculator].

An eBook is a file which has text information and markup so that it can be formatted and displayed on an electronic display. It's short for "electronic book."

An eBook generator takes data from a file and puts them into eBook format so that...

The eBook reader for that particular format can format and display those data. Nifty, eh?

A nostub program is an assembly program which doesn't rely on an assembly shell such as Universal OS but can be run on any TI-89 calculator it has been designed for with or without a shell.

Do you have a calculator in the 83 series or lower? If you do, you probably don't need to worry about any of that stuff.
Nostub programs are programs that require no libraries so they are basically programs that are self-dependent.
The 83 (and lower) series doesn't (don't) have the use of libraries (well, sorta) I don't know about the 85s/86s.

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong

does anyone know if the new TIGCC has the help section. i found it hard to code without the help section. the help section really helps out. I would also like to thank the person(s) for this update.

The "TIGCC Tools Suite" is just a suite of extra tools for TIGCC, made by Thomas Nussbaumer. The TIGCC package itself is at the Web Page link above (http://tigcc.ticalc.org), as usual.

[The text of this article has been removed by a news editor due to violation of the acceptable use policy.]

Our magnificent leader, Thomas Nussbaumer arose from his golden throne of ti-programming and left us for something much greater...

Sorta: "He gave up TI for sumthin better"

I posted this question on the TICT message board too: What's with all this talk about Thomas doing something else? Who's managing everything now?
