Calculator Programs/Games Ideas/Requests - Inspiration

And a cas for the nspire, in asm. Mcas is good and it works, but it's annoying having to type in the program name and enter everything into a string. We could probably port a computer-based cas.

I've just had a new idea of a simple program that counts the variables used in the source code of an Axe program and returns which are used and which can still be used.

This would be really useful!

EDIT: lmao no one cares


axscan2 is non-compiled
scan is compiled for ion

It scans prgmTEST

Notes:
* Darkened means variables have been used.
* Only 700 bytes
* Take it and make it better, i am done.  No credit needed
* I would appreciate someone doing what Builderboy did with auto optimizer.  making it able to chose what program.
* Blank programs say that every variable is used

That's all! Now to add an idea to the ring - someone should create an app/prgm that lets you have everything new in 2.53, sans bugs or slowness! This includes MathPrint (if possible), and the new commands, esp those in the Alpha-F1-4 menu (in the "smart" navigation form, if possible).

A complete CAS for the Z80. That's what we need

I would strongly suggest to start small and implement my idea first.
Seriously - CASes are no joke. They are some serious mathematical logic.
AMS (from TI-89) was made when TI was a smart company. These days?
I doubt they could do anything...

On a sidenote, I should really create an awesome suggestion/implementation box linked to this forum. It would be AWESOME! Unfortunately, I don't have time atm, so I'll plant a memory box here:

Spoiler for Mini Memory Box, please ignore!:

PHP based, with MySQL database. Interface should be like this: http://filenice.com/demo/
Except with + and - and yadda yadda things on the right side of each bar, plus a comment link.
Hopefully forum integration can occur where when a suggestion is made, a new topic is created, as well as comments being replies. (And they sync back and forth)
Users in omnimaga are transferred over to the suggestion system. a person can mark an idea as "working on it", in which the person obviously works on the thing. When they're done, they can upload the program/app, and mark it as done. After 5 days, if there's no complaint, it will be moved to the "epic win"/"success" category!

This will probably be hosted as a subdomain - brainstorm, ideacentral, innocalc, etc. .omnimaga.org.

Similar to this will be made - ProjectFrenzy!, but with a bug reporting system as well (looking like this), plus it will only be limited to one project (the other is suggestion project ideas!)

As always, it's up to the admins on whether or not to implement such a thing.
This is an open idea - you are free to go ahead and implement this idea before I do.

TI did not create the CAS in the 89 (or the Nspire CAS, for that matter).  It was made by a company called Soft Warehouse, which TI would later purchase.

sorry for the spam but when i googled "computer algebra system" (to see if i could figure out how they work), one of the first results was Yacas... Yet Another Computer Algebra System.

hehe, there are plenty out there. But they are no joke, HARD to make. It's just by luck that mathematicians like FOSS, therefore releasing it out there for plenty to see.

To get the ball rolling, I uploaded ACAS, a dead CAS project I tried to make. It doesn't work - just the "terminal" aspect of it.
(You can either do token hooking or separate terminal. That's for the CAS though - the 2.53MP substitute has to be hooks.)
There's no input either - just ENTER and scrolling.

ACAS is compiled, AALCAS is source.

An isometric game like Super Mario RPG

I've just had a new idea of a simple program that counts the variables used in the source code of an Axe program and returns which are used and which can still be used.

Indeed. Actually Squidgetx just started one recently http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?topic=6190.msg111139;topicseen#new . Happybobjr also had something like that in the works (see above)

How about this: An nspire equivalent to MSD8x? It would be way more convenient than something like TilP.

I wish we knew more about the USB protocol. It would be nice to use the Nspire as a mass storage device like the Casio Prizm.

There's AutoCalc, but it would be nice if it was made in Axe or ASM, for speed. You would need to make sure teachers won't notice, though.

I've tried AutoCalc, but it never works for me unfortunately. solve( also isn't on the CAS, a prime part of a CAS.

Zeda is a maths teacher and good programmer, maybe he could try it?

[Xeda112358]

Awww . Erm, try making CAS? That would be pretty tough, but I guess if I get the time I could give it a whirl. I have a simple dividing routine, too, that can handle 75 digit numbers... I could tweak it to handle more numbers than we have RAM on the calc . But yes, it would be nice if I could add some TI-89 functions to the calc. I'll work on it if I get time.

[Munchor]

Does CAS allows us to solve stuff like?

7=x+1

I have another idea of a program: NSpire OS, the OS of NSpire in a 84+ (or something similar to NSpire's OS)

[Munchor]

Does CAS allows us to solve stuff like?

7=x+1

Euuuuhh.... yes ?

solve(7=x+1,x)

But only with CAS, right? The way you wrote your post forces me to ask this question.

Ah right. A full CAS would be really great. I wonder if it could also be made compatible with KnightOS later. I assume a full CAS would be pretty large, right?

My TI-83+ can solve this simple equation with the integrated Solve part. Go to MATH -> solver

[Xeda112358]

On the 89, if you try solve for x with this equation:
3x*y+6y+x

It returns:
x=-(12y-1)/(2(3y+1))

Which simplifies to:
(1-12y)/(6y+2)
