Ok so the time has come where my game I've been working on 'Seeker' has become WAY to BIG! And it is no longer executable, but I believe if it is in an app it will work. one problem. I don't know how to make it into an app! Help!
-
well, since it's in axe, you just go into the options menu, and change 'no shell'/'mirageOS'/'Ion' into app with your arrow keys.. than it will be written to an app, without any problem :)
-
OH! thats easy. but doesn't it have to be 'signed' or something?
-
that all goes automatically.. just select app, compile, and wait.. (it might take longer since it has to write it after having compiled the code itself)
i don't think any signing is needed, they all work fine by just doing this
-
ok it worked! Thanks :)

well, if you want to distribute it to other calcs, you must use the app signing software included in the axe download. :)

what is that signing thing? i never got that..
-
Yeah i want to post it here on omni when done, so how does the signing thing work? And what exactly do i do to sign it?

you backup the app on your computer, and drag the app over the icon that says "drag app over me", let go, and it should bring up a window that says "signing complete!". your app is then signed.
-
you should go to *path to axe dir here*\Tools\Application Signing and than just drag you app onto the 'Drag app over me' (quite obvious) lol
but i don't know what it does, maybe read the readme with it
wow, i got :ninja:'d without even being aware of it :crazy:
-
Thanks parser!! But like nick says, I (in order to better excel in my coding skills) would like to know what it is doing :P

When your calculator receives an app, the OS checks it to see if it's been "signed" and deletes it immediately if it isn't. There's not really much of a point in that any more, but years ago TI sold apps for a fee, and if an app wasn't properly signed, it wasn't supposed to be redistributed.
-
oh, ok.. thanks :) so you have to sign it, otherwise it won't work? but then how does axe make it work when those apps aren't signed?

Apps don't need to be signed if it's just on your calculator, but IIRC it gets deleted after 16 executions or something like that.
-
So if I sign it, then it's transferable with other calcs?
-
Yep.

Apps only need to be signed to transfer to another calculator. Other than that, its just like all the other apps. Axe corrected the trial app issue a couple versions back when apps used to delete themselves after 15 runs.
