I used to use PortableApps a lot.  Nowadays I use it mainly with Firefox and Notepad++.

I suspected as much.  I am still getting used to using a non-Windows OS.

I have a laptop that runs Ubuntu (11.10) and have been trying to update the OS using WINE and it hasn't been working.  Is there anything I can do to make it work?  Otherwise, I can wait until I have access to a Windows machine to do it.
Edit: It looks like the computer is simply not recognizing the connection, it's worked before so I'll just reboot. Never mind, I will just wait until tomorrow.

Casio Calculators / Re: Getting started in Casio-Basic? You can ask here.

There are other ways to create a matrix other than [[0][0]] -> Mat A, however, I have not programmed casio for 2 years and have forgotten. Something like Dim Mat A, or setting the number of rows and columns
You are right, the syntax is {<rows>,<columns>} -> Dim Mat A.
It's also worth noting that the closing brackets at the end are optional (e.g [[0][0->Mat A).  It looks messier but it saves space.

There is an additional square bracket at the beginning that is necessary.  In Jonius7's example it would start like [[0,0,0,1][0,0 ...
Also, pokemonrules9 do you know about the variables theta and r?  It took me a while to realize I could use them in programs and having those additional two can be useful.

Very impressive. I see quite a bit of potential there. I would also recommend playing around with dynamic graphs in BASIC but the drawback is that you can only have one graph at a time and once the animation starts running, the only way to quit is if the user presses the ON key which ends up causing a break error. Hopefully though there is some way to fix this. btw you might want to replace your batteries soon ;)
I could see using dynamic graphs for projectile motion possibly in a simple physics game possibly. 
As far as batteries are concerned I still have some time left because the indicator just turned red.  I usually let the voltage get down to around 2.9 before changing them (Its at 4.8 now).

Casio PRIZM / Re: Casio RPG: The age of Slime (beta 0.2)

Ok, good to know.   :D
I hope good things will come from your experimenting with C as well.

One really nice thing is that you can graph Y=, X=, parametric and polar equations at the same time (instead of being stuck with only one type at a time such as on the 83/84+ series).  This really opens up the possibilities for creativity.

There may be a printSprite( sort of command in the SDK somewhere.

If you start working on this in C for the 9860 it won't be compatible with the Prizm and I won't be able to try it out.  However, that wouldn't stop me from offering ideas/suggestions.  There is a lot more potential for RPGs in C anyways.

What I have done several times for such a situation is
Code: [Select]
StrCmp(StrMid(Str #,<index>,<length>),"String")=0Where "String" is whatever I am testing for (either a string # or something like "A").  This would combine all of the steps and run much faster.  It is somewhat of a handful but it works.

Casio Calculators / Interesting Graphscreen Pictures Created on the Prizm
« on: October 06, 2011, 07:44:48 am »
I was thinking about how the Prizm graphs inequalities using shading and how that could be used to make interesting pictures.
For example, this is a demonstration that was created by z80man a little while ago.


Remembering this picture I started doing some experimenting with equations and a background image I created on-calc and came up with this.  It is seven equations that are drawn over a solid black background.

As you can see, there is potential for anyone who can use equations creatively to make interesting pictures.

Spoiler For How I Did It:
I used the sketch functions to draw black horizontal lines to fill a screen with black and then captured it to memory.
The equations were drawn with respect to the standard viewing window.  I zoomed out once for the screenshot.  The letter i is the imaginary i.  Styles used are included/
Code: (Used Equations) [Select]
Y1<=-5(x<- Or x>5)+i(x>=-5 And x<=5)            Green:  Normal style
Y2>= 5(x<- Or x>5)+i(x>=-5 And x<=5)            Green:  Normal style
Y3 = i(x>=-5 And x<=5)                          Yellow: Dashed
X4 =-.25(Y>=-5 Or Y<=5)+i(Y>=-5 And Y<=5)       Yellow: Normal
X5 =.25(Y>=-5 Or Y<=5)+i(Y>=-5 And Y<=5)        Yellow: Normal
X6 =-2.65(Y>=-5 Or Y<=5)+i(Y>=-5 And Y<=5)      Yellow: Dashed
X7 =2.65(Y>=-5 Or Y<=5)+i(Y>=-5 And Y<=5)       Yellow: Dashed

MACH - It's close to my username but I need to figure out what it means exactly.
M1AC4 Holdings? :P
Somehow that never occurred to me.   ;)
