Re: TIB: Will TI ever introduce a C based Calculator?
Umm... well, i think that making a C bsed caculator would make the code
run A LOT faster and it would make for much easier higher graphics gaming and
stuff like that. But, i am learning C++ right now and i think it is a much
more difficult language to master than Ti Basic. Not to metion the money
involved in this, C is designed to run on the computer not on the calculator!
C involves A lot more memory too. In short, i think it would be virtually
impossible to make a C based caculator withou doing one of the following.
1. Make a palmtop computer that has Ti calc functions.
2. Make a kind of PC emulator to run on the Calcs then run the current C
software
3. Make a HIGHLY modified version of C that is designed to run with the
calcs
hardware
all of the above are high cost options, but i think if one of these is done
you could have your C and your calculator too.
so anyway, theres my thoughts on the subject.
