Congratulations on this! I like the fact that you are becoming even more professional and more automated.

Yeah, they must be really good at PERL.

HIP HIP HOORAY! LET'S START A PARADE! (That almost rhymes)

Well, it's not *all* PERL. They've got a bunch of SQL and PHP and other stuff there, too. They deserve a lot of credit for their work. I had to work on an online registration page for a spring retreat for a group I'm helping with up at Michigan Tech and it took us at least a total of 40 hours to put together. FOUR WEB PAGES, 40 HOURS. It was nuts. All together, all the code we had to write was about 100-150KB. It was farking HUGE. I almost missed a plane the day after we finished it because I was up all night coding like a madman (because we told people it would be working at 8 AM).

In other words, don't take this work too lightly. Even something as simple as this probably cost the TIcalc coders at *least* a couple nights' sleep.

Congrats, and keep up the good hard work.

Shhh, there's no PHP on ticalc.org. Henrik and Magnus would be disowned by each other if there were.

Why? PHP4 is faster than most Perl scripts.

Let's not get into a religious war, but it has to do with language "cleanness" and consistensy.

It definitly is faster, though, I give you that :-) That usually just means you have to think a bit further to do it in others...

oh, whoops. for a second I thought the file upload thing was PHP... then I noticed the ".pl" extension and the whole "cgi-bin" thing. gack.

TI-89 TIGCC Question:

How do you display a substring of a string?

Example.

char *pi[100];
sprintf(pi, "3.1415926535... (pretend I have 100 digits here)");

Then, how would I display the 3, or pi[0]? I confused!

(I'm comfwoosed)

um... whuh? Why are you doing a pointer to an array of characters instead of an array of characters?

Who knows :) I'm not very good at programming :)

Not that that has ANYTHING to do with the topic but...

you prob meant this:
char pi[100];

instead of this:
char *pi[100];

but that's ok, there's no debugger here to catch ya.

Anyhow back on the off-topic...

if you want to display one particular digit, you can't just do this:

printf(pi[0]) because printf is expecting a pointer, not the actual character '3' which pi[0] equals.

there are some fun ways to get around this, but just to be simple you could do something like this:

char pi[100] = "3.14153.......";
//(or pi[100]; sprintf(pi, "3.1425..."); if you want)
char pieceofpi[2];

pieceofpi[0] = pi[0]; //The char 3
pieceofpi[1] = 0; //The Null terminator to make it a valid string for printf or whatever string functions you want to use

printf(pieceofpi);

mmmmmm, pi

Kay thanks, I'm gonna play around with that, hoping it works.

I'm making a geeky screen saver-type program that will display, digit by digit, the first 100 digits of pi. :)

that's cool! I saw this website that said out loud the digits of for... for... forever?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Alright! Kill the IRC chat logs directory already!

Aren't you the one who made bubble bobble?

Got a suggestion: a level editor.

bubble bobble is my favorite game! (one of them, atleast. Asteroids just worked it's way up)

I was at round 70-something, and then my calc crashed. (No, the crash wasn't related to bubble bobble. It was because I tried to romdump and my calc locked up. :-( )

I was at round sixty and one of my teachers took my calculator away and cleared all the memory. Now I have to start all over.

Has anyone noticed it says "Implemented new file upload hangling system." on the front page in the Updates box (at least on 12 Mar 02)? How do you "hangle" file uploads?

That is not for you mere mortals to understand. It requires a much higher level of existence.

Any comment on my rating/reviewing files idea? :/

no wonder none of this crap gets deleted, Magnus is crazy too!
