News / Re: Doing too much with the TI-Nspire dock connectors?
« on: September 28, 2011, 11:45:14 pm »
Well, it's not like we really need the dock connectors for anything. We could just as easily gain thousands of options given some decent USB docs, like joysticks, hubs, external sound cards, SD Card Readers, ethernet, printers, or pretty much anything we want. However, the direct-IO approach is far more "hacking-friendly" because of its simpler design.

Installing the SD card would be paramount to doing the rs232 adapter, since it doesn't actually require any extra hardware besides the card and the calculator. It would need more pins, but they wouldn't need to be next to each other. Plus, Nspire Only :P

@Sebasu the calculator has 6V unregulated coming from the batteries, and 3.3V that is regulated through calc hardware. Why don't you try connecting it to the batteries directly instead? It's safer, since any problems won't ruin your calculator.

You should make it support BBC Basic.

That is all. :P Then we can have cross-platform progs.

That's a pretty sweet attack anim, if you're willing to resprite all of it.

I'm debating whether I want to do mine or not, but hey, there's always the default set if I don't.

Somehow I only half believe this is BASIC :P It looks awesome!

If you're concerned about the space you should reserve for linux, don't be afraid to make it smaller, especially since you can use your win partition inside linux. I often only have 40-60 GB out of 160 for my main linux partition, and I've never run out of space. Unless you use tons of multimedia on your pc, you should be fine.

And don't be afraid to use simpler distros just because others think that they're not as good. It simply means they're less customizable, which isn't always a bad thing, especially with new users.

I would like Puppy a lot more if it was more popular, but it's not. Honestly, for a low-ram install that actually has a few programs available in package form, I would use debian with LXDE or dwm. You can get them running on extremely low ram. (DSL, anyone?)

1266
ah. but then, if it's just a calc game who cares about fair, right?

Pah. There were no limits to infinity in that equation :P

but unfair unless you have a deck list, which makes it a lot harder.

So, about wolfenstein-sized levels in general? Sounds about right for the style.

Demotivational posters are themselves a meme, of course they're heavily influenced by other memes :P

Or you could release it like minecraft and call the beta version .10! :P

That's an issue for asm/axe programmers to solve. It tokenizes upon editing, to save space and increase speed, but it doesn't use TI's tokens, so the hex data would be a little unfamiliar. I thought of making an editor for it in BBC basic itself once, but unfortunately the line command 'can't' work inside a program due to the fact that programs have to be loaded into running ram before editing or exectution, so you can't load one inside another. The editor would need to be built into the OS and be written in asm, which is a problem as benryyves doesn't have BBC Basic z80's actual source: He has a binary blob with a wrapper, essentially, so it runs on the 83+.

There are mountains well over 2000 feet all within a few (5-20) miles of my house, in all directions. :D No flatness for me! But no rolling hills either. Mountains and valleys. The foothills have slopes, but other than that and the general contour of the land, it's flat where you want it to be.

1274
Were you making it in BASIC before? Luckily, a lot of the design concepts should transfer over fairly easily.

Dang, I always thought this was powder toy :P thanks for also providing a link!

I love using golly to mess with Generations (multiple stages of life, rules are a little weird, up to 256 stages) and making fascinating wireworld-esque creations.
