I suppose I could learn more about the TI-83+ and try to port it...the TI-86 and the TI-83+ both run on Z80 processors so assembly for them probably isn't too different.....

Also, I just noticed that I have a whole forum for my project.   B)cool.gif

It would be great if you could, and if you needed some help you could check out the forums at maxcoderz.org, revsoft.org, and unitedti.org as they have some great z80 coders.

I'll probably do that.  I'm already registered at United TI and RevSoft, but I'll have to register at MaxCoderz.  

This might be a bit off topic, but I found out a glitch in the MLC Sprite Editor for the TI-86 that allows the user to create a grayscale background for the calculator.  It's pretty cool, and when I go to the graph screen, the background gets repeated and parts get truncated, and the current equations graphed get a duplicate in grayscale behind them.  It messed up anything on my calculator that had to do with graphing and I had a quiz on graphing about twenty minutes after I figured this out at school.  I had to reset my calculator, which had some useful math programs.

perhaps we should concentrate on helping with a language like FastRPL or SLIDE which are designed specifically for 83+ series.

this would speed development and make it more likely to happen.

Good point.  MLC could be kept for the TI-86 and Casio AFX (and any other calculator that could use an interpreted language...).

my opinion is that if someone wants to write an MLC interpreter that is great, but there are already 2 other languages much closer to readiness on the 83+ series.

I have always been really interested in this MLC.

This would really be a fun product to see finished. Maybe even include some Sharp and HP calcs into the mix.

This would definitely require extensive knowledge of the calculator's hardware and the appropriate assembly language, but very doable.

oh well. I dont really care so long as somebody starts something.

way to many projects get stuck in planning and never finish.

Does the source code exist for MLC -- both TI and Casio source code that is?

Who could we ask? Would they mind sharing it?
