TI-84+ SE Menu
« on: November 09, 2012, 09:12:37 pm »
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone made a start-up menu for the TI-84, one similar to the TI-89. If not, how hard would it be to make an app so it would appear on startup?

How about you just make a program and set it at startup on zstart?

I'm pretty new to programming TI-84s, so I'll see if penguin can make it. Thank you!

Oh, and if anyone can do this, I have a screenshot of what it looks like:

Why would you want to do this? Everything on the 84+ can be reached within 1-2 keys.

I don't see what the benefit of adding this screen would be.

It's mainly for customization and looks. I also dislike my squishy keys, they're not like they used to. Do you have any suggestions on how to make this menu? A program that can be started up with the start-up app/zstart is the simplest idea I have.

Well, it's not that hard really if you use zStart. I made an option to run a program when you turn your calculator on. Make your own version of this screen and then set it to run when your calculator turns on.

Honestly, I don't feel like making this. But, if you do indeed make a usable menu, I'll give you the Asm codes to open each of the different features (like graph menu, stat editor, etc). That way when you click on the icons, they actually go somewhere ;D

Do you mean keys being noisy/clunky when pressing them? I know it was particularly bad when playing Fruit Ninja on the calc. Or do you mean how they're small and/or unaligned? I tend to prefer the 83+/older 89 keypad.

I can make this too, when thepenguin can give me the asm codes to use with Axe.

Same, I want those codes, please share *.*

edit
Also, since the user will probably use zStart, then will it be possible too that the GUI program/app launches programs through zStart ?

Didn't TI make something of their own for this? zStart's main advantage, IIRC, is that it can launch from boot even after RAM clears.

They wasted 16384 bytes of memory to only be able to run unarchived Basic and nostub programs (and maybe apps too) at startup.
zStart can run any type of program and any app at startup and on RAM Clears, archived or not, and can do a lot of other useful things ;)
