How do I make apps?
« on: January 03, 2012, 02:17:46 pm »
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 :)

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

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

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:

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?
