Title: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Munchor on June 05, 2011, 02:35:51 pm

So, what Axe version do you use?

I don't expect many people to use the old versions but I still decided to put them in :)

Vote and discuss!

0.5.3b for two reasons:

1. Easier to develop axioms for it
2. ++ and -- ;)

I fancy ++ and -- too, and I use 0.5.3 too, although I guess not too many people use it because of the 16bit/16bit division bug.

I always use the latest version.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Aichi on June 05, 2011, 02:51:27 pm

I'm still using 0.5.2 since I'm not sure if all bugs that Runer112 metioned are already fixed

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 05, 2011, 03:04:16 pm

None right now, but I voted 0.3.3, as this is the last version I ever used (to code).

Someone should try making a game in 0.0.5, just to show how far it can be pushed O.O. Password-based save files FTW :P

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: ztrumpet on June 05, 2011, 04:28:43 pm

I use whatever the latest version is. For instance, when I made Axe Snake, the latest version was 0.3.2 so I used it. :)

The first real game that I remember was this one (http://ourl.ca/4050/76199), which used Asm() for the buffer shifting that would now be easy with the Horizontal or Vertical commands. It was made by Builderboy in version 0.0.4. O.O

Wow I wonder why I never included it in the tribute video. It's pretty great for early Axe, especially when there were no sprite support.

Probably because it was in the original Axe Parser thread, before Quigibo created the Your Projects - Post and Critique thread. ;)

Which reminds me...I'm going to write a review later this year, but I think Axe Parser is the greatest Ti-83+/Ti-84+ program ever written. (And of course there's a lot of amazing ones out there)

Actually if I remember correctly those bugs were fixed. I don't have an 83+ series calc. at the moment, but when I get my 84+SE(this week hoppefully) I'll be using the newest version.

Post by: Freyaday on June 06, 2011, 03:22:23 am

I always use the latest version I can get my catboy hands on, and this is the longest poll I've ever seen.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: aeTIos on June 06, 2011, 03:45:37 am

The "what calculators do you own" poll is longer. I use 0.5.2 (Upgrading soon)

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: JustCause on June 06, 2011, 03:51:01 am

0.4.8 for consistency reasons. I'll upgrade when my projects are done.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Quigibo on June 06, 2011, 04:18:19 am

Too bad there's no options for versions above 0.5.3 :P

There were also several unofficial versions that some people may have lying around becasue they requested to beta test new features, but I doubt anyone still uses those. They had version numbers like "0.2.B" or "0.3.A" for instance.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Freyaday on June 06, 2011, 04:36:37 am

In surreality, I use Axe i.j.k, but that's not on the menu.
I am impressed with Axe though, Quigibo! Keep up the great work!
PS: Beta testing features on the Axe beta? :crazy:

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Quigibo on June 06, 2011, 05:34:20 am

Well, one example was when application compiling came out. I wanted to make sure that it was completely safe before releasing a public version so I got some volunteers to test it. Luckily there weren't any problems, but had I made a mistake in coding, it could have resulted in ROM corruption, OS corruption, or even a bricked calculator.

I usually only do private testing when something is either potentially dangerous, hardware specific, an unreproducible bug, or someone is willing to spend a few hours abusing it until they find bugs.

Thanks again for the great comments everyone! I'm really excited for 1.0.0. I am going to continue working on it after that (at a slower pace) but I will be reluctant to change anything that breaks compatibility. It will mostly be optimizations and compiler features. Eventually if I ever lose interest, I might make it open source or pass the project on to someone else, but we'll see.

Post by: squidgetx on June 06, 2011, 07:19:12 am

I used to use .4.8, until the nibble system got changed back to big-endian lol

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Deep Toaster on June 06, 2011, 09:05:28 pm

Still 0.5.0. Too lazy to upgrade, and I heard there are issues with division in 0.5.3.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Quigibo on June 06, 2011, 10:56:01 pm

Nope, all those issues have been fixed. There are currently no known bugs reported for 0.5.3 (yet) other than a few persistent things that have been around in most versions for a long time. For anyone using older versions, I would recommend upgrading, since 0.5.3 is currently the most stable version and there won't be any new updated until a couple of weeks.

Heya samebull, welcome to the forums. You should introduce yourself here. Do you have any projects in the works? I'm sure a lot of people might be interested :)

Also just for kicks, someone should try making an entire graphical game using the first version of Axe that ever supported pxl-on and getkey O.O (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=10.0)

EDIT: I wonder if there's eventually going to be a 1.3.3.7 or something :P
there's already a 0.4.2...

Anyway 0.5.3 for now until 1.0.0 comes out

Hmm, I think I made it a table for the quote thing (so it would stop in line with the bars) and when I took out the quote I left the table in there :P

EDIT:

Spoiler For with table:

Spoiler For without table:

I guess it's not needed then :P
But it worked before ;D

EDIT: it's using table now, look at how wide the spoiler is ;)/me stabs [code] and [tt]for messing up the width

EDIT2: ok, apparently tables mess with the font size. oh well.

Well, if not bug-free, at least not Archive corrupting. AFAIK, 102 still has issues involving the Archive, and I really don't want to spend another 5 hours fixing my calc.

Anyone using 1.0.3? I haven't heard any bug reports yet or any mention of it (which is a good sign). Also, it should be added to the poll.

That's because 2.6 was the last one I've used much before quitting. I used 0.3.3 a bit too but barely.

Post by: Jonius7 on October 17, 2011, 02:37:21 pm

I used 0.5.2 because it was the version available before or early during the axe contest ~~(or was it 0.5.3? I can't remember).~~ EDIT: confirmed 0.5.2. (Idiot, you have a folder called Axe0.52, doh. soz talking to myself) It was also the first version i used. Anyway I only switched to 1.0.5 a few days ago.

It also depends on if you started unfinished projects with an "old" version: For example, the DispGraph function changed from 0.5.3 to 1.0.5.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: MGOS on October 24, 2011, 10:58:17 am

Right, but only for specific buffers - and due to the lack of them in 0.5.3 I won't have to change anything... I think.
And how do these specific buffers work? These are L6 (main), L3 (back) and L1, right?

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?

no, L1 is not a buffer, just a free ram area. But "L6 (main), L3 (back)" is right (or maybe it is the contrary XD)
If you only used "DispGraph", you can upgrade. If you used "GDB1→DispGraph", there might be a problem.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Freyaday on November 15, 2011, 11:13:44 pm

Weirdly enough, L1 is actually a buffer, but you have to move the built-in variables before you can use it as such, because the Axevars are stored at the end of L1.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Deep Toaster on November 16, 2011, 09:38:36 am

Any block of RAM that's 768 bytes you can use as a screen buffer. If you really need another buffer, you could always create your own with Zeros(768) (now Buff(768)). And yeah, the only reason L1 is 712 bytes according to the Axe commands index is because the last 56 bytes are taken up by the variables, which you could always move, as Frey said.

And yeah, I should change my vote now that I upgraded :P

Just look at minecraft. :P
Btw. It's actually IS officially finished now I think, or is it 'complete'? :P

They give us patches?

Yeah, some of them, but not all. And usually, those who give patches are those who were the most far from having finished :P

Ah of course, Minecraft the classic example.
First alpha versions, then give us Beta versions all the way up to 1.9beta prerelease X (who knows?)
Then it's just called Minecraft now v1.0
It's officially 'released' but not complete.

Kind of forgot about this :P but...

Now using 1.1.2.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 25, 2012, 10:26:28 pm

the large amount of people using 1.05b definitively shows that a lot of people have moved on from Axe or calcs around that time or simply didn't update their vote. X.x

Oh lol I posted the last post from last year. So I guess the poll hasn't changed much from last year. I am still using 1.0.5, and only realised that 1.1.x had come out a day or two ago.

I use 1.1.2 on my calculator, but 0.5.3b on Wabbit because it doesn't like above that version with BootFree ROMs and I've been to lazy to make another ROM from my calculator.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 25, 2012, 11:00:16 pm

Yeah I noticed that with WabbitEmu, it was kinda annoying to have to restart the emulator or resend a ROM. X.x

No wonder something weird happened when I tried to run Axe on a 2.53 rom, it didn't work. Axe 1.0.5 worked perfectly fine on the OS 2.41 rom tho.

I use 1.1.2 because of the bug in the rectangles.

I currently use 1.2.0 because of all the optimization stuffs and 13 characters-long label names, but I think I'll go back to 1.1.2 because of the many bugs <_<

Post by: Hayleia on December 10, 2012, 11:17:52 am

I haven't encoutered any bug in Axe 1.2.0 but I still think I'll downgrade back to 1.1.2 because the grey was better :(

I wanted to use 1.2.0, but it's completely broken in wabbitemu, so im stuck using 1.1.2 so i can keep coding on my computer =(

No, thanks, I already triggered self-test through an Axe prog (by my fault, not the fault of Axe) so I won't try to have bugs on purpose before a long time :P

Fixed in 1.2.1, which should be out shortly! :)

What many bugs? I would certainly try to fix them if they were mentioned in the Bug Reports (http://ourl.ca/4072) thread.

I do see that you previously mentioned one bug with custom Axiom tokens not working, but I was unable to replicate it. As I mentioned in the bug reports thread, if you could send me the Axiom and a program that includes it where the token replacements don't work, I can look into the bug and try to fix it.

Also, are you having an issue with DS<()? If so, please post about that in the bug report thread, too!

I did cut a corner on the 4-level grayscale masking with 1.2.0 to make it faster, but I couldn't really come to any conclusions of whether or not it would adversely affect real games. Could you direct me to the source for that program, perhaps sent in a private message if it's not publicly available? Or if you would rather send compiled code, the same program compiled under both 1.1.2 and 1.2.0? If I can see that it does definitely look worse with 1.2.0, I'll either revert the grayscale routine or try to make it look better without losing the gained speed. :)

Hmm, I'm not really sure how to fix that... if it doesn't send at all, Buckeye is probably the person to talk to. If it does send but acts strangely, then perhaps Axe is having issues with some strange property of your dumped ROM? In that case, would it be possible for me to get my hands on it to test?

Again, just a reminder to everybody: if you experience a bug with Axe, report it in the Bug Reports (http://ourl.ca/4072) thread so I can look into and fix it!

One day I need to try my Axe Tunnel code in Axe 1.2.0 to see how small it gets compared to the original.

I might do that with Eat Nethams and Eat Nethams SE too, but then maybe they'll lose their respective 666 bytes compiled size. D:

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Eeems on December 11, 2012, 03:24:28 pm

If they do, you can just adjust them with random data so they stay that size ;P

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 11, 2012, 03:26:43 pm

That would completely defeat the point of optimizing them, though <_<

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: willrandship on December 11, 2012, 03:38:37 pm

Well, they'd still benefit from the speed optimizations :P

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: Eeems on December 11, 2012, 03:38:51 pm

Not at all, it would run faster, space wise there would be no optimization though.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: squidgetx on December 12, 2012, 09:54:36 am

Runer, as far as I can tell, the grayscale in 1.2.0 is indistinguishable from 1.1.2 besides the obvious difference that it's faster.

(That might be why some people are saying that it's 'worse'...the timing changed by a few thousand cycles than when they compiled with 1.1.2)

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: leafy on December 12, 2012, 10:16:40 am

If you're using interrupts, then there's very little difference. If your program isn't fast enough in the slightest, though, the difference becomes obvious.

Title: Re: Which Axe version do you use?
Post by: willrandship on December 13, 2012, 05:23:03 am

So it's a change in manually timed grayscale.

Post by: Deep Toaster on January 06, 2013, 08:50:10 pm

I'm still on 1.1.2 because I haven't done anything over the break :/ And I'm always behind by a couple versions anyway for, uh, security reasons (read: laziness).
