In light of the number of new projects that have been coming in, including Axe and Lua, we've added some new subforums for people to place their projects in. This will hopefully clear any confusion, as well as keep new projects organized by language.
If you have a new project idea or contribution, you may place it in one of these six boards, just look under "Other Calc-Related Projects and Ideas."
* Z80 -- ASM and TiBasic
* Z80 -- Axe
* 68k
* Nspire -- Lua
* Nspire -- Ndless and Basic
* Casio Prizm
Over time, we will be moving some of the newest existing projects into their respective categories. If you can't find the project you were working on, it's likely you will find it in one of the six new boards.

Thats a good idea.
(500th post :P)
-
Will the older projects stay where they are?
-
Good idea indeed.
-
Oooh, cool1o! Great job!
-
Will the older projects stay where they are?
Most of the oldest ones will. There's simply too many projects to move all of them. But we're definitely not getting rid of any projects
-
This is an interesting idea. It's almost like, "the way it was 2 years ago" and "axe". Though I do think this is a good idea because people coding in asm or axe have drastically different problems as well as development styles. It's also a good idea because if your topic doesn't get a post within 2 days, it will be on the second page.
I eagerly await to see what happens.

And "Lua" ;D
-
This is nice. It will be so much easier to sort out the different projects. :)
-
Nice :)
I guess it's time to relocate the Essence thread XD
Edit: nvm, it's not in the drop-down menu yet..
-
Nice to see this done. Now to start moving stuff. :)
-
Yes, I'm sure this will help make things be more organised. :)
-
Yay, this is what I have been wishing for, now I can see all new Lua programs with ease :P
-
yeah I've noticed that the other calc-related projects category has been just overflowing with a lot of axe, lua, casio, basic, asm, etc. programs that I sometimes get mixed up
-
Why are Asm (and for the Nspire, C) and TI-BASIC in the same category? Aren't they the languages that are the least similar to each other?

We didn't sort them by language as much as by popularity. Lua and Axe have a lot of projects coming in, since they are easy to use yet powerful.
-
Thanks for doing this! It will help with organization.
-
so... does Grammer program counts as TI-BASIC?
-
Grouping by popularity helps when you're posting, but not when you're reading.
I would like to browse a forum that has one topic rather than totally unrelated topics that happen to just be equally popular (ASM <> Basic), because I read by category.
-
This is really useful...
Thanks !
-
A suggestion I would have is to make sure all new sub-boards include the word "projects" at the end of the title, else for newer people who only use the New Posts page to browse the forums, they might get confused between help and project topics and not click a project thread if they think it's help requests. Otherwise I like this.
-
also, it might be helpful to put Grammer section too. :D
-
Hmm, it does have a very different syntax from the others, so having another section for Grammer might be conducive to receiving help faster and more efficiently (so that people don't give advice that doesn't work because "ooooooh, that was for Grammer! I saw the nCr and figured...").
EDIT: Not a quote, just a hypothetical sitch-ee-ashun
-
lol :P
-
Now that you mention it, a grammer sub-forum for the project updates like Axe has and another for help at least. Project could workt oo I guess, seeing hwo many Grammer projects there are.
I actually suggested it via PM a while ago to every admin, but to no avail...

This is pretty much exactly what we did. We are discussing further dividing them by language. More changes may be coming. :)

This is true as well. I wasn't quite sure what to do with Grammer to be honest, but it may need a separate section as well.

I wonder where GlaßOs fits in as it uses C as its primary language with less than 5% of the code inline asm and some projects don't touch asm at all... :-P Sorry if I am breaking the system already
-
I'd say C still goes in the asm category, since that's really where it fits best. It sure isn't a hybrid language, and it's not compiled on calc.
-
I like this idea

I'm not sure, I don't know of anyone (other than yourself) that programs in C for the Z80 series. O.O It could just stay in the root directory for now. Eventually when it reaches a stable and largely functional state it could be moved to Major Community Projects. :)
-
Also I just realized something:
Z80 -- Axe-Language Projects
Noticing "z80" had to be specified for Axe, does it mean there is an Axe port for another calc model currently in the works and staff is holding it secret in the staff forum?? O.O
-
Lol. Actually there is. But it's named Newprog. ;)
-
Well I really meant an Axe port/exactly similar language (syntax-wise too). I asked since in the past there were discussions about a PRIZM version of Axe. :P
-
Does the prizm use tokens, or does it edit BASIC programs like the 86 did? I can see syntax-similarity problems if it's token based.
-
How did the 86 edit programs then?

It uses tokens.

The language would definitively be different, such as Locate instead of Output, but I meant the idea/concept.
-
Actually, I wonder how much of the syntax would have to change, especially if the Prizm supports some method of changing the currently displayed tokens....that way it could change to the standard command set.
-
Does the PRIZM and FX-9860GII process tokens the same way? so we could have axe on FX?
-
Considering both OSes look similar (except the color), I wouldn't be surprised if they were processed the same way on both, especially now that both calcs use the same processor.
