I think it's high time the ti-83 series got a real tower defense game.

I"m not sure if i asked for this already...at least in this thread
Something to simulate TIOS linking (compatible with the normal linking on the other end) but with an option to switch the data lines.  This would allow casio cables to work with Ti cables ;D

EDIT: see bumped thread.

I think some kind of Axe music creation program would be really cool. Mess around with notes in different staffs, maybe if we figure out how to do drum stuff, add that too.

That's pretty sweet. I was thinking of something more along the lines of Finale, though.

Alright, that'd be sweet.  I've thought about trying to do that before but never had, nor do I think I'll end up doing it.

How many continuous lines of sound can I have going at once? I mean for like 6 different notes/instruments.

And also, does anyone how to make different types of sounds come out of the link port, like a trumpet noise being different from a clarinet noise or something like that? And what about percussion, like drums and stuff?

You can only let one signal come out of the link port. You have to mix them in your code.

 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE

- A first person shooter with a polygon-based 3d engine. (z80, will probably be recoded in axe using GLib) ON HOLD (screenshot)
 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)

 - a 3D racing game (axe) ON HOLD (outdated screenshot of asm version)

Pretty much you alternate multiple notes really fast, and the sound kind of blurs together.

For something other than simple beeps is really complicated to do, tho :/

If you want to write a music composer for the calculator, you should limit it to beebs. You can make it sound realistic, but then you'll have to fill the entire memory with saved notes from different instruments.

You can do it like the ringtone composer of my celphone: every key stands for a tone and the two arrow keys are used to make tones longer/courter (my celphone only has 2 arrow keys). Ass the specs of my celphone are a lot worse than thespecs of an ti-83+ series calc, this should be perfectly doable.

Actually, you can do two: One from the right headphone and one from the left. ;)

Depends of the type of adapter you use. I use an adapter with a tip with only 2 contact area's (one for the - and one for the signal), so you can't do right and left on that adapter, and if you would try this, it would sound horrible becouse it kinda works like an AND port (signal on when either lhe signal for left or right is on). This would totally mess up the frequency.

Can you change the type of sound or is it just beeps at different pitches? And how many different notes can you have playing at once?
