Title: .txt to .8xp
Post by: Munchor on November 11, 2010, 06:59:31 pm: So, I know how to convert .txt to .8xp, using SourceCoder or Tokens.

Now, how hard would it be for me to make my own converter?

Is that something hard to do, is the code for that available or is something that needs to be coded from the beginning truly hard?

Thanks

Sorry. Someone more experienced in computer programming and such would be better at answering this though.

Also, Cooliojazz has a converter too.

I personally use TI BASIC compiler (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/402/40210.html). It includes most of the commands that you'll need.

It really makes generating a large amount of data easier.

You'll probably have to make your own table of them, because the ones in ti83plus.inc list only the ASM mnemonics of them, which can be pretty far off.

That's unless you absolutely want to write a converter for learning purposes, though.

Just gave up the idea, oh my god!

That still wouldn't work because those tokens have different names in ASM than appear on-calc. You'll have to make your own list if you want to make that program.

Yeah, not that many actually

Post by: Deep Toaster on November 11, 2010, 07:42:41 pm: Seems like you found them! :D

Yeah, you're probably better off just using one that's done.

The data in that file explains so much...

Post by: Munchor on November 11, 2010, 07:44:17 pm: I did find them, but have no idea of what they are and how to use them to make a compiler.

Maybe I should ask Merth for help?
