DEV-C++ IS MEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His it mean? Maybe it's because you have an error in your source? Hmmm... Oh well, get Borland C++ Command Line Tools, and UltraEdit ;p

Hm... is it just me, or are the most popular gaming calculators the 86 and 89? There's ALWAYS new games for them.

yeah , like take to day for example, look at the new 86 games.(there are none)
but i see what you mean, there are better games. Why would a programmer want to make a cool game with the 82/83/83+, they would have to actually program in asm!

if there was only a C or a C++ compiler for z80...

ah well. there are still a lot of good z80 asm programmers

Ummm... I think you are mistaken. There are C compilers for the 83/+ and 86, there are only 2(? or only 1) C games in asm for the 86. And most GOOD games for the 89 are programmed in ASM. The 86 has basically the same code as the 82/83/83+ so there!

There are many good 89 games written in C. Look at the programs on the linked page.

Like mine! (click the link)

Well, maybe not really good, but they give you something to do for a while...

There are quite a few good games on the 89/92+ in C, though I would have to agree that there are more in assembly. Some examples would be: Blobby Volley, Dr. Mario, Duke68K, Evasive, Frogger 92+, George, Insane Game, Krypton, Moonbugs, Mr. Nutz, Rodent Revenge, SkiFree, TI-Chess, and TI-MineSweeper.

The C compiler situation is quite different on the TI-86 however, as there seem to be more compilers for the TI-86 than programs compiled with them. Among other problems, the TI-86 compilers (all that I have seen, at least) generate very poor code.

One thing I've noticed with TI-86 C compilers (while I was checking them out, I don't code with them ;o) lol) is that they mostly use 16-bit registers when they output assembly code. Of course I guess you could code in C, then optimize the poor outputed code.

Skifree? If I recall, the sprites filled up almost the whole screen!

Hey, aren't you the one who made Galaxian?

Of course he is fool! You shall be punished with an most horrible death! He is Patrick Davidson god of coders! and his brother David Philips will back him up!

... j/k you guys...

Anybody have any ROM Images they could LEGALLY send me? (Yes, it is possible) I have a 82 and a 89. For the 89, I have a AMS 2.05 and the 82, I can't get it to romdump, so I need heeeeelp! (I don't think you can emulate the 73)
