With the release of the Nspire exploit, I thought in the future it would be cool if somebody written a new programming language for the TI-Nspire where the syntax is exactly the same as Axe. Of course it wouldn't be editable in the TI-BASIC editor of the Nspire, the concept would be the same as other languages. An editor/converter would be made for the PC or the calculator, and it would convert the code to ARM assembly format. It would probably have to be done by somebody else who knows ARM ASM but I thought it could be an idea since not only it would provide an alternative to TI-Nspire BASIC, ASM and C, but it would be even easier to program (and learn) than the TI-Nspire native BASIC language.

Another thing that could be done is something similar to Axe where you type programs similar to TI-BASIC in the program editor built-in the calc, but the syntax would completly change, as for example, the TI-Nspire has no Input, Output nor Text commands. Different random unrelated commands would have to be found, altough since Nspire programs aren't token-based on editing, people could just write Output( anyway then the Nspire Axe parser would interpret them fine.

Such project would probably need to be started only when it is certain Axe parser syntax will not change anymore, though.

In the new calcs only the page 53h is still there. It is same port as before. Dunno what 3rd party software uses it...

Wow! Looks great! How did youhandle collision detection?

That's actually 1 byte less optimized. Try it.

That's because the parenthesis require a push and pop (2 bytes), and the "greater than" and "less than or equal to" operators take 2 more bytes than the other comparisons.  So you saved 3 bytes but then added 4.

You could have done this:

Code: [Select]

:B>=(+D->B-1)+A+C->ABut then its the same size as your first attempt.  Not sure if the speed is faster or slower though.
