News / Re: ASM to arrive on TI-80 ROM 4.0 soon?
« on: September 05, 2011, 12:08:26 am »
and doesn't act as normal to gravity as other models.

??? lolwut?

I don't know much about asm, but this sounds pretty interesting.  Hmm, I wonder... What if Axe was ported to every calculator TI ever made? :D
Pretty unlikely though, methinks.

TI Z80 / Re: Wikeypad: the online calculator keypad anyone can edit

A few more problems:

1. It's really hard to read the gray font.  Perhaps shift it to the side and give it a white background?

2. I can't click on another key when the text covers it.  Again, try shifting it to a different location.


Edit: Scratch that, I had to maximize my window.  That solved it :)

I can't get it to work -- it lists a huge bunch of warnings in gray at the top.

For me I can run stuff from USB stick and run EXEs. I'm Python programming in IDLE in school right now.

Which portable python version are you using/what's the name?

House of Leaves(Daneilewski is another fantastically creative writer. his work is of a slightly different flavour, but no less enjoyable. he also does some stream of consciousness work, like Only Revolutions).

Fix'd :D

I have to agree -- that was an awesome book.  I can't believe I forgot about it.

If only there was a website that could access other sites through it...

Here is what you do... go to http://portableapps.com/
Download either FF or Chrome to your flash drive.  (and make sure the default for proxies is none)
run at school.
FREEDOM :w00t:
Just an fyi, that doesn't work on all schools -- I tried, on mine.
Why doesn't it work?

My school chokes the internet connection itself.  It doesn't matter what browser I use, or how I configure the computer -- it's already been filtered upstream where I can't change anything.

The Ender's Shadow series was a lot better than the original ender's game sequels. Just FYI.

The ones about Bean?  I concur wholeheartedly.

Books/authors I like:
 - Neuromancer
 - Anything by Terry Pratchett
 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
 - Anything by Garth Nix (but especially the Abhorsen series)
 - Pillars of the Earth
 - Anything by Ayn Rand -- personally, I disagree with her politics, but I've always felt her books have a compelling rhythm in them.
 - The Slaughterhouse
 - Anything by Agatha Christie
 - Anything by Neil Gaiman (try "Neverwhere" or "Coraline")
 - Anything by Cory Doctorow (although he has a tendency to lecture)
 - Anything by H. P. Lovecraft (try "Color Out of Space" or "At the Mountains of Madness")
 - 1984

Books/authors I agree with:
 - Catch-22
 - A Wrinkle in Time
 - Watership Down
 - Ender's Game (the rest of them are 'meh')
 - Lord of the Flies
 - The House of the Scorpion
 - The Hunger Games (series)
 - Pendragon series (mostly because of the last books, which were epic)
 - Harry Potter
 - Nearly anything about Eoin Colfer (he was my favorite author when I was younger)
 - Anything by Cornelia Funke (especially the Inkheart saga (Inkdeath was AWESOME))
 - Gödel Escher Bach
 - Anything relating to Sherlock Holmes

I haven't read a lot of the books on here -- I know what I'm going to be doing for the next few weeks :D

Axe / Re: string - duplicate symbol
« on: August 24, 2011, 12:23:56 pm »
I'm not sure why everyone has been using Zeros(pointer,size) in their code. This is not valid syntax. Zeros() only takes a single argument, and that is size. You want to use Zeros(size)→pointer instead.

Erm, I was copying Deep Thought who (I suspect) was copying Qwerty.

Axe / Re: string - duplicate symbol
« on: August 24, 2011, 11:59:57 am »
Try making the length of Str1 much larger then you need it to be -- I don't think it's easy to change the size of a constant after it's declared.
Code: [Select]
Zeros(50)->Str1

Copy("String 1",Str1,8)
Copy("The next string",Str1,15)

Alternatively, you could use either a buffer (like L1, L2, etc.) or an appvar.
This might not work/probably needs tweaking, but try something like:
Code: [Select]
Zeros(700)->L1
"Hello World!"->L1
Text(10,10,L1)
"Goodbye"[00]->L1
Text(10,20,L1)
(The [00] adds a null byte, just in case)

Also, I'm trying to remember -- if you compile as an app, can you rewrite program memory like Str1 or Pic02?

Edit:
Changed 'Zero(pointer,size)' to 'Zero(size)->pointer'

General Calculator Help / Re: Wabbitemu refusing to open up
« on: August 24, 2011, 11:46:38 am »
A suggestion -- did you make Wabbitemu create a ROM image, or are you using one copied/some_other_verb from your physical calculator?

I've generally found that getting the ROM directly from the calculator is much more bug-free.

Miscellaneous / Re: Myers-Briggs Personality Profile
« on: August 22, 2011, 10:17:12 am »
I remember somebody bringing up Meyers Briggs earlier, so I merged the two.

I seem to test around INTJ or INTP, although as of late I've been (consciously) trying to work on my 'S' side.

I personally like this test because it actually allows you to chose somewhere around the middle.

TI Z80 / Re: Croquette IDE
« on: August 20, 2011, 05:14:14 pm »
Every word that the user writes gets added to the list (a temporary list, it's over when the file is closed). Why? Because a lot of times we need to write the same thing more than once. In Axe, it's not so usual, because we don't have long variable names, but it's still useful sometimes with strings and commnts.

Hmm, maybe it might be better to focus on recalling names of constants or labels/subroutines?  I don't think it'll be worth caching things in strings or comments, given that those are relatively unique.

That way, I don't have to work as hard remembering the names of functions, appvars, or constants, which are usually just cryptic combinations of 5 letters (I think 5 is the new limit in Axe?)
