Sound in BASIC-programs
« on: June 14, 2011, 11:36:41 am »
If I want to create a BASIC-Program, which should contain sound, I'll have to use Axe.

BUT how to create a program with sounds, if it should run on a TI-84+ without any special APPs, too?  ???

Maybe I need to sent 2 PRGMs to another TI:
One BASIC-program and one ASM-subprogram
(Michael Lee has told me that)

But I've never learned ASM-programming, just Basic.  :banghead:

If you compile a program in Axe, you should be able to run it among all 83+ family calculators without the Axe app.
Axe is a compiled language, meaning that the parser reads your source file and creates an Asm program.  You can run that Asm program on any calculator without the parser (given that your program does not need a shell).

Maybe I need to sent 2 PRGMs to another TI:
One BASIC-program and one ASM-subprogram
In order to run an Asm program from BASIC, you use "Asm(" (without quotes) followed by the name of the program.

But I've never learned ASM-programming, just Basic.  
You don't really need to know Asm to make a program in Assembly; Axe compiles into Assembly.  Well, if you really want to learn Asm, Hot_Dog made a wonderful, well-worded tutorial.  http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=594

If you would like any clarifications, feel free to ask.  :)
BTW, welcome to Omnimaga!

So I could create a program with sounds with Axe.
And if i'll send it somebody, he'll be able to hear the sounds even he hasn't loaded Axe on his TI?
That's super!

I just know that I should use freq( for it.

Yes. All he has to do is to use the Asm( command to run the program. :)

freq(number, time

The higher the number, the lower the frequency. Time is in microseconds (if I am right), and if number > time, you won't hear anything

example: try this:

Code: [Select]
:Repeat Getkey(15)
:freq(10,100
:End

That should give sound untill you press clear

Cool, thanks! :)

And how to create ditterent sounds?
For example this scale:    C D E F G A H C
How to modifi the high of a sound?

Try changing the first argument (You can use a variable for that).

But don't set the time argument (2nd argument) to something very high. It would make your program react very slowly on key presses.

For what is the second Var in the Command freq( A , B?
A is the high of the tone.
But B?

B is for how long to play the tone.

If you set that to something too low, you won't hear anything, but too high and your program will become very slow.
Try to use something in between.

OK Thanks.
I'll try it. :) :)
If I get my headphones...  :-\

The freq( command is like For( , or?
I mean, that it won't work in backround, so that the PROG could do other things during the sound.
That isn't possible, or is it??

Now I've opened Axe the first time on my TI.
In the menue I've chosen COMPILE
Then I've chosen NO SHELL
It didn't react.
After one minute it reacted:
My screen became barker (contrast changed) and dhere was written "ERR:MEM"
BUT: It was written Upside down!!!!!!! ??? ???
After a few seconds there was written:
∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ
ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ
∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ
ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ
∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ
ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ
∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ
ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ∫ŋ


Then It was:

 :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
:banghead:              TI 84+                       :banghead:
 :banghead:          Ram Cleared                :banghead:

 :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:


Is that normal, or is it because I have had more than 60 half-finishd PRGMs on my TI?

Did you have any Axe source code programs?
