The Big Merge
Posted by Niklas on 9 April 2002, 15:20 GMT

No, ticalc.org is not merging with another site. What's new is that through some of Magnus' continuous improvements, the filearchives now support merging of files. This means that if an author has multiple versions of the same game or program in our archives, the old versions can be merged into the latest one while still keeping the precious download statistics.

To get this done for your files, simply contact filearchive@ticalc.org with the necessary information (author ID, file names and, if you can, file ID:s).

Update (Niklas): Note that we can't merge file contents, just file statistics. So to add stuff to an old file you still need to upload a complete replacement.

The comments below are written by ticalc.org visitors. Their views are not necessarily those of ticalc.org, and ticalc.org takes no responsibility for their content.

How does one become a TICalc staff member? Is one paid to do so?

Probably not ... ticalc.org has no source of income (that I'm aware of), so the staff members are most likely volunteers. You might want to try sending an e-mail to Magnus (mha@ticalc.org).

In general, one is approached by the ticalc.org staff and asked if they would be interested in a position. The staff of ticalc.org is not paid in any way. -- Phil

There are some girls at my school that think that my Silver Edition is neat/looks cool, but they'd never buy one... Oh, today I found out that there is a girl at my school with a TI-82!

Re: Re: Re: Re: The Big Merge
nolekid
there is a girl at my school with a ti-83+ but it's her dad's and she has no idea how to use it, so she just uses it like a basic scientific calculator. Actually, I think there is only one other person at my school who owns a graphing calc and knows how to utilize it to almost its full extent (a few people know BASIC for the 82 but only because they had a hard time learning q-basic and my teacher has a set of 82's)

a hard time learning Q-BASIC?!??!??!??!? i learnt it when i was 5!!!!! i still use it and love it plus i have a compiler for it, q-basic not vb VB SUCKS YAY for Q-BASIC PARADE FOR Q-BASIC!!!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Big Merge
Chickendude
YAY! PARADE!!! When I started learning QB, I was 12. Still haven't learned the majority of it (I lost the help file and I haven't taken the time to go to online tutorials, so I've taught myself from trial and error) Anyways, I've made a few programs - one with a graphic (but I don't entirely understand how it works). It's been a while since of played around with QB. I have QB 4.5 (which compiles into executables). PARADE!!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Big Merge

I meant that I don't understand how the graphics routine worked, not how my program worked.

Ok, let's see... How young was everyone when they started programming? I was 8 and I wrote BASIC code numbered-line-by-numbered-line on an Apple II-GS.

when i was 9 read a book about basic in school, but i didn't know how to use is until i noticed that qbasic nibbles had basic in it. then i tried "print "hi"" and it worked. i was so happy! i also used to have a apple iie, but i didn't know i cauld use basic on it til later

That's what I said when I found it. Even though became "computer nerds" before me, I could take a week and kill them in any programming language they think they know. They even tried to get me to join their little clan that they finally (<sarcasm> GAAASSPP!! </sarcasm>) made a website for but I figured they're pretty stupid.

oh, and everyone with an 86 HAS to download the recently added "story, just story, or materialised boredom" in the BASIC games section. except for a little profanity the game is really, really, funny. the only problem I noticed was that it's too long to send to the calculator (probably because of the repeated use of consecutive Disp's), but it's still funny. Oh, and I know that "materialised" is spelled "materialized." that's how the author spells it

at my school we have a semester-long elective course called GRAPHING CALCULATORS ...so a few girls know how to use them. thats why(ok you can laugh now) 83 basic was my first programming language (quit laughing)

QBasic was my first, then 82/83/83+ basic, then C, then 83/83+ ASM, then 89/92/92+ ASM, and now I'm working on HTML and I'm trying to learn more 83+ASM (ion).

I would take advantage of "coming over" to "explain" stuff to them, especially if she is "fair for the eyes to look upon"! :-B

Oh no! On my screen, you only have eyes and a nose! At my school, I am the official CALCULATOR NERD. If you have a problem with your calc, give it to me.
