I'm glad you're recording it. 4:00 MST happens to be one of the only times today that I'm not able to watch.  Anyway, sounds neat! I'm looking forward to watching the recording.

Runer112, I believe kindermoumoute intends to make an online tutorial. When I heard the resolution was to be 50x50, I assumed that the tutorial was on-calc. However with what was just said and this quote: You can color images, this is not a problem. I see this is probably not the case. Anyway, nice image runer112. Maybe as a community we can make a reader for chapter books like this? As long as we've come this far with black and white, I figure we might as well!  This may be a discussion for another thread.

Pointers can be confusing at first, but once you use them a few times, you'll see they can be really useful. In C++, the need to use pointers is not as great as it is in C thanks to classes.
Okay, I see. #include isn't used to include libraries. It is used to include header files. For simplicity's sake, let's just say header files contain function prototypes. These prototypes are needed by the compiler to produce the object file. All the compiler does is make sure you're passing the correct types of arguments and using the return value appropriately. The linker is responsible for connecting these references to the actual functions.
So, simply put: you cannot include libraries at all. You have to include the relevant header files and link the library.

matthias1992, that looks good.  What's really scary is that I was thinking about using blocks with letters on them for this title too!  That looks nice  . I wonder if he wants everything to look like the first posted image, though?
That's what I was sort of thinking too. If that's the case, anyone's free to use/modify/improve the template I made for this title.

Okay, thanks DJ Omnimaga!

So I consider that the image "conditions" meets the criteria. It remains :
Loops
My first program Are those the titles you want? Correct language and everything?

I'm not sure I completely understand your first question, but if I do the answer will vary depending on which linker you're using. If you're compiling and linking in one step with g++, it'll look something like:
g++ -o progname progname.cpp -lallegro
The form for that last argument is -lNAME_OF_LIBRARY.
Pointers store the address of a variable, structure, etc. The most straightforward usage of them is to give functions access to large amounts of data without the tremendous (in some cases) overhead of actually passing all of that data.

Oops, sorry!  I didn't even think about that! In fact, I had to redesign the logo to cram "conditionals" in there. "Conditions" would've made my job easier... Anyway, here's a fixed version.

An on-calculator tutorial? That'd be really cool! Too bad I can't read French... Here's a little something I just made. Is this sort of what you're looking for? I tried to keep it pretty minimalistic.

Thanks for the statistics! It's really interesting to see how quickly and dramatically everything has changed. I think Revsoft and TI-Freakware were the big names when I first started serious calculator programming. At least they had the most content that I was interested in. And everywhere I went seemed to have links to MaxCoderz. Looking at these stats, it's insane how rapidly that site declined! It is hard to comprehend how or why things turned out as they did, but I'm glad they did.

I really don't see the SE, or the Z80 line for that matter, being discontinued anytime soon. On many tests they are the only graphing calculators allowed. In many classes they're required due to the large library of educational software and programs written for them. The reason TI can sell them at the price they do is because of this monopoly.

Blast! Too slow! Oh well, here's my rough attempt anyway. I keep seeing problems, but it's getting late so for now I'm calling it done! Anyway, I'll fix it if anyone's interested...  Unfortunately, I realized that I was working with a 203 pixel height too late into the process. But if you can scroll 180 rows, you can scroll 203, and it's only 276 more bytes. Now if it was wider than 96 pixels THAT would be a problem! Unless you're really tight on memory... In which case the height still is a problem.

Yep, I'm still here. The consolidation is definitely nice. It seemed like communities were always randomly disappearing back in those days. Now the (two) communities are both stable and active! Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to catch the next one of these shows.

This is a really neat idea! It's quite amazing to me how active the calculator community is!

As near as I can tell, this is DOS assembly. INT 0x21 is a software interrupt. You won't be able to use it if the operating system isn't loaded. And there's no way Windows is going to allow a real mode application to delete a protected file.
Since your goal seems to be to just delete the file, I have to ask... If you can install a bootloader on your school computers, then you are also most likely capable of loading different operating system as well. Right? It'd be a lot easier to delete the file from there. That said, I find it a little odd that the school's computers would allow either course of action (the installation of a bootloader or booting into a different operating system). Are you sure this is the case?
