Hey. I'm working on my biggest basic program yet. With this program and Mirage OS installed on your calc you may never have to exit on to the TI OS agian! Using Startup Customization form TI you can get Mirage to run when you turn on the calc. You can also do lots of neat stuff in it's options menu. (I'd suggest getting it If you don't have it) My program, so far, had a pretty complex Y= editor including a nice interface and graph style editor. You can even turn each function ON/Off. Also the is a sigma solver, nice euasion solver, Distance & midpoint formulas that present their information visually on the graph screen. These is, of course, a regular calculator like the home screen except it's kinda like DOS too! It supports certain Keywords. From the keywords you can access other programs, lists, strings, solve equasions ect....
It's a well-made program and I spent a lot of time on it. Also I hope to deabu my game Ganga Farmer packaged with it! It's a semi-fast basic game where your a Mexican Ganga Farmer with a high-power gun mounted on top of your van. You have to shoot down the US military plains (Accusing you of smuggling miraguana accross the border) to keep them from bombing your precious crop. That'll be all.

Sounds cool...and great! I can't wait until it is released.

Please send it to me when ready

please send this to me as soon as ur done

please send to spartan2116@aol.com when done

I am in desperate need for help on explaining how to make game backrounds and maps so that I can make my Dark Mage program in asm (even though it is fast in basic) I need to learn Z80 so that I can program for gameboy and gameboy color so that I can release my finished version. Expect the PS2 version sooner or later. (all who helps me get free copies of the complete version both for PS2 and Gameboy)
As soon as I learn these teqniques I will release the demo in 83+ asm.

PS2?!! R U NUTS!? GB itself is a PAIN in the ---, GBC is harder, PS2 is nigh impossible, and Im not even going into the fact that your gonna need a liscense. But try GBA, its in C, and you could feasibly do it... although youo have to go thru the torture of converting B/W into color.

PS2 is bad. Try Gamecube instead (it's the programmer's dream machine)

What do you use to program for gameboy?

PS2, GameCube, Xbox...

It doesn't make a difference, to make any game worth playing would take a staff of at leas 50 people 1 year and about a million dollars (if you're cheap) or 1 person about 50 years (by then, those systems would be way out of date).

This is why there aren't any PS2, GameCube, Xbox games made by freelance programmers that even come close to compeating with, well, anything.

Because of the scope of game programming, I don't see any way possible that a single person could make anything worthwhile for anything more complex than the GBC (and thats a stretch).

I am recruiting team members for a high-end asm prog. it will be an os. The origional name was X-Windows, but i changed it to Wormy Os. It will have a start menu and everything. I need asm programmers' help. E-Mail Me @ Xmm187mmX@msn.com PLZ:I NEED YOUR HELP VERY BADLY!!!

I'm writing an ASM program that does stuff with the different number systems. It will include: Origins of each system, how they are used, how to convert one to another by hand, and an on-calc converter. If I can add more to it, I may convert it into APP form later on (when I get an SDK). Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hey guys me again. I've been working on great geometery/algebra program. I've made it in basic, but i would like it in asm. If any of you would be so kind to help me convert it to asm or the mirage(os) form, i would be very thankful. If you can do this for me give me an email.

Do you just want the basic program to run in mirage cause if thats all, all you need to do is on the first line before everything put a : that's it.

Your right, all you have to do is put : in the first line. But if you want to edit the title, type :" for the first line and after the " just type in the title. Ex. :"Wormy OS v.1.0 You will see on the bottom bar.

Forgive me for being so dense, but I simply cannot figure out how to run basic programs on Mirage. I have read the part about putting in the extra colon, but I am not sure about how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

i'm wondering it it would be possible for someone to make a floppy-type drive that would hook straight up to a TI 83 Plus? If anyone knows of one or knows how please email me (mookie85@hotmail.com) PLEASE! thanks

I reckon the way to go would be to get an 8086 Single Board Computer, make a link connection of some sort that accepts and ordinary calculator-calculator link cable, and write a DOS program that listens for and downloads veriables, appvariables, etc. that the calculator sends. For program uploads and download, define a special appvariable that contains the filename of the program that you want to upload or download, and the PC starts the process.

Base it on FreeDOS to avoid copyright problems.

Single Board computers are getting down pretty cheap over there in the states if you look around, and I know that there should be ones available with floppy interfaces.

Do the same thing with an IDE interface and an IDE hard drive and you have a TI-driven hard drive ... but realistically, you can put FreeDOS, the main program, and a heap of calculator files on a single floppy disk, and they are easy to manage.

hey Everyone. I am currently developing a program for TI 83+ in basic. The program is more like a one time thing, it includs several games where you can access humerous phrases and insults. The program itself is quite large, so I hope you all don't mind when it comes out. I'm still trying to compile a list of "witty and or insulting" phrases. If anyone has an references to sites that deal with those, or if you have some, please, feel free to e-mail me with them
Thanks

Hey everyone, I am writing a program tha displays my schedule for school in TI-83+ BASIC, and I have very minimal programming experience, and I was wondering if anyone could help me tighten up my code a little bit, you know make it smaller file size, and make it run faster. here is the source:
Disp "WHAT DAY?
Prompt D
If D=1
Then
Disp "ENGLISH"
Pause
Disp "ART"
Pause
Disp "SOCIAL STUDIES"
Pause
Disp "RELIGION"
Pause
Disp "LITERATURE"
Pause
Disp "HOMEROOM"
Pause
Disp "LUNCH/RECESS"
Pause
Disp "SCIENCE"
Pause
Disp "ALGEBRA"
DelVar D
Else
If D=2
Then
Disp "ENGLISH"
Pause
Disp "P.E."

instead of using Disp for the display, try using
"text(" to display more characters. the text will display on the coordinates relative to the pixels on the graph screen. for example:

AxesOff
ClrDraw
Text(0,0,Str1,"Class"

Where Str1 is, is supposely the name of your class. i'll also try to optimize your code.

Hey you should just make a menu. like this menu("Day","Day 1",1,"Day 2",2)
Lbl 1
menu("Day 1","English",1a,"Art,1b,"Social Studies",1c,"Religion",1d,"Art",1e) ect ect.
Lbl 1a
English
/If you want to have it to save homework you could.
Disp. Str1
and add a record option in the menu.

Just to save memory, don't put in the final parenthesis or quotations. Ex. Instead of
Output(1,1,"..."), do this: Output(1,1,"...
Same goes for other ones, like Text(, Disp, or For( .

The best way to optimize it is to change all of the else to ends, make it Input "DAY=",D and to change all of the Disp to Pauses and getting rid of the other ones.
