I googled stuff about that processor, there's almost no information!

All I found was Wikipedia stuff.

Unfortunately not.

Also, is there C?

Casio Calculators / Re: Casio Prizm already for sale???
« on: December 31, 2010, 10:19:54 am »
One thing to make sure with an emulator is that it emulates everything correctly. The TI-Nspire 84+ emulator doesn't even do that, even though TI coded it.

I wonder how fast would it be, though...

How long do third-party emulators take to arrive after a calculator is released? A few years? A few weeks?
It depends. It can range between one and 7 years. For the 83+, it took 7 years until we get an emulator with flash and grayscale support. VirtualTI came out 1 year after the 83+ arrived, but it did not emulate the archive.

Wow, that's quite a lot. I expect a few years for the Prizm too :/

Happy belated B-day. A whole year huh?, it really amazes me how quickly time passes sometimes. =) I have to say I am a bit surprised to have made someone's thank you list, but thank you. It means alot to me. =) Here's to another great year in 2011!

Casio Calculators / Casio Prizm - What is it?
« on: December 31, 2010, 06:29:33 am »
For any of you who have been wondering what the Prizm is all about, I gathered some information here.

The Casio Prizm is the latest Casio calculator and is one of the firsts, if not the first, full colour calculator. For us, programmers, these are good news since we can know code programs and games that are not MONO or Greyscale. This is Casio's actual information about the Prizm:

Quote from: Casio
PRIZM™ is revolutionary among graphing calculators with features that enhance users’ understanding of mathematics. With conventional graphing calculators, students learn by inputting equations to create graphs. PRIZM™ creates a whole new way to learn math by enabling students to experiment by creating their own graphs over pictures of real-life scenes, and then understand the functions from the graphs that they created on their own.

A while ago I said the PRIZM would be great for programmers. However, students and teachers can also benefit a lot from the implementation of colours in calculators. Why? In many, many ways such as graphing several functions and giving each one a specific colour to help us analyse it, or as Casio said, create graphs with backgrounds such as landscapes and buildings, to help us understand better the use of functions in real life.



A coloured calculator is also much easier to handle than greyscale calculators. It's much easier for human eyes to understand things if they are coloured. In fact, surveys have proofed that highlighted text is more easily memorized by our brain.


On the other hand, the PRIZM is not all about colours, there are many other impressive features implemented in this calculator.

Quote from: Casio
New color enhancements, images, Picture Plot technology - PRIZM must burn through batteries, right? Wrong! Despite all this powerful functionality, PRIZM uses less energy because of the ground-breaking display technology. It will perform perfectly for 140 hours before dry-cell batteries need to be replaced. You can also use rechargeable batteries, which will last for 85 hours.

Casio says that the PRIZM can be turned on for about 140 hours with dry-cell batteries! This is fantastic for a coloured calculator, which supposedly would have a much smaller battery life.

How many times have you wished that your calculator had more memory?

Quote from: Casio
The Casio fx-CG10/PRIZM has 16MB of flash memory, 10MB operational. For additional specification and how PRIZM relates to other Casio graphing calculators and competitive models, see the related comparison chart.

The Prizm has quite a lot of memory, compared with the TI-83+ series, but for a calculator with colours, which means pictures and maybe videos, I feel that it could have more memory.



And so I finish my comments on the new Prizm with a picture of its keyboard, which I think, could be more functional. Some may also agree with me that this calculator could use some more beauty. However, the cons of the Prizm are easily outweighed by the pros.

Woah, someone voted for cuberunner :o

Anyway, gratz Quigibo! Axe is just....amazing (notice how 4 of the featured programs this year were written in Axe ;) )

Cuberunner is a really good game, the new most popular of my class.

Casio Calculators / Re: Prizm Wiki
« on: December 30, 2010, 05:42:39 pm »
It's taken a few days of pulling my hair out, but the Prizm wiki is finally running.

http://wiki.prizmwiki.co.cc/

Try it out and be sure to contribute if you have anything.  :)

Also, would someone mind telling whether the site loads slowly for them? I've been having some router issues on my end, so I'm not sure whether it's me or the hosting provider.

The website loads fine and nice idea, a wiki is indeed needed.

Woah your assembler even generates comments? O.O This is pretty cool actually. You should make it for the 83+/84+ and post it. :O

You can make comments on mine too :D

In my program, concerning Assembly and program itself (not GUI and extras), all that's left is add BCALLs:

Any useful advice AssemblyBandit? Your code examples were really good, but I had already figured them out by the time I saw them.

Oh! There's another thing missing: Reading .8xp files data :S

souvik, just press TAB twice and you'll be fine, but don't worry, that'll be changed when I manage to accept multiline input.

New Update :)

www.davidgom.co.cc/Assemblex.zip

A few small bugs and added 'nop' to all instructions with no specific opcode :)

It's too bad that I have to double post, this is not getting that much attention.

Maybe that's because there was something called... lack of program?

Here it is, a beta  :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

Features:
> ALL instructions, all of them, official and unoffical, all those: www.davidgom.co.cc/z80table.html;
> 2 Errors as message boxes: "Invalid input byte numbers" and "Non-Hexadecimal Characters";
> It's a fast program, opened by a .exe;
> 2 text controls, multiline, one for input and one for output, output can be edited;
> Got a name, Assemblex!

To do (in order of priority):
> Accept more than one line in the input text control as for now all HEX needs to be in one line;
> Make opcodes with no associated instruction return 'nop';
> GUI Updates;
> Bug fixes that I hope you guys find.

The program is 5 megabytes and will always be 5 megabytes, even if I add 1000 lines of code  ;D


What I need you to do:
> Play with this for a while and report all bugs!
> Suggest ideas;
> Write a one sentence review to let me know how it is.
