Title: Hey!
Post by: chattahippie on July 19, 2011, 10:33:21 pm
Hey, my name is chattahippie.

I've seen this website for some time now, but only just got around to making an account.

Programming wise, I've messed around with TI-Basic for a year or so, and am finally starting to create semi-useful things  ;D
I've also tried playing around with Axe, but I havent experimented all too much with it yet, as it has crashed my calculator many times.

I'm currently working on a qr/ar code generator in TI-Basic for the Pokedex 3d app on the 3DS, and I can post what I have done if anyone wants to see/use it.

I can already tell that this community is awesome and I can't wait to contribute!

Hi, chatahippie! It's always nice to see a new member.

Axe is a bit tough to figure out at the start. Actually, "a bit" is generous. When I started Axe, I hadn't quite wrapped my head around programming in general, and the results were...interesting.  :banghead: I RAM cleared more times than I can count while I was learning my way around it, and I predict you will too. Regardless, I encourage you to stick with it, as the results are really rewarding!
/me gestures towards his own dormant project, (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=156.0) coded in Axe

Though I don't own a 3DS, I am intrigued by the QR code generator...augmented reality is always fun ^.^

I can already tell that this community is awesome and I can't wait to contribute!
And we can't wait to see what you have to offer. Welcome to Omnimaga! :)

Welcome here and have fun :)

If you're programming in Axe, don't forget to backup often, since RAM clears happen a lot. Other than that, I absolutely love Axe.

Thanks JustCause and Juju for the advice.  I definitely don't want to give up on Axe because I can tell that it is an extremely powerful and useful language.
I just have to sit down and figure it out when I have a chance.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

A thing to keep in mind: while Axe does have the ability to back up your programs it's still on-calc so there's still a risk of it being erased.  I (try to) backup on a flash drive or something whenever possible and/or whenever a major breakthrough happens..saved multiple projects that way ;D

Imo the best way to learn Axe is, to paraphrase someone, read the docs closely and after that ask a bunch of questions as needed.

And, if you're lucky, you could venture into the land of ASM programming.
Its not like AXE by far, but it is a very powerful language.

Thanks for the advice Darl181, I will definitely have to do that.

I don't think that would be possible as of now, but maybe in the distant future :P

This, this, a thousand times this! Backup after every release, backup after every update, backup every day and backup after every change. You'll still lose projects, because that's how life works, but you'll spend a LOT less time recoding everything.

Not secret anymore...
Welcome to the forums! I just started Axe recently(3 days?) also, and as the others said, the auto-backup function is very useful. It has saved the pathetic project of mine many times. I hope you will enjoy your time here.

Wow, that's exactly what I've been needing for a while. It's nice to see that someone is working on it. :P

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

If you want JosJuice, I can post it somewhere now, the only things left to do are better GUI and add more names.
Only a small window of what the program can create can be used at the moment, due to only the Unova Pokedex being inlcuded.  Once Nintendo updates the Pokedex to have the National Dex, it should be able to create ar codes for the National dex O0
