New-style Program Editor for TI-83+?

(1/4) > >>

Lutalli:
Hi there!

Is there any on-calc program editor for TI-83/84 PLUS which is different from the default one? I suppose the font that the default editor displays (i.e. the normal font of TI-83+) is a little large so that it's a kind of crowded for some relatively complex programs (the code always needs to be divided into two or more lines!). Thus I need a better editor whose font looks smaller.

It's also nice if we can copy and paste the codes via this new editor while writing programs (like what Omnicalc does on homescreen); or if it offers a "special characters" menu (say we can open it by pressing [Y=]) in order that one can type characters like $, ζ easily; or if so on and on.

Has anyone done any work like this? (!If so, I'll create one perhaps)

Both @E37 and I have made efforts to, but mine is not mature enough to really be useful: https://github.com/Zeda/TIDE

E37 may have added more to this project since the last update, but I'm not sure.

No, I haven't.

Your best bet is the small font editor in the experimental version of zStart. However, it doesn't work on mathprint os'es (2.53, 2.55 iirc) and when I used it, it corrupted parts of my program occasionally.

I thought about creating one with lowest level funtions such as adding tokens and basic menu to put stuff in the program, in Axe, when I got the chance to actually learn it. I also thought about making a basic program that does it too. But the basic program would have to use libraries to do it. What's your knowledge with assembly?

Lutalli:
@E37 and @Xeda112358 Thanks for your replies!

I just tried TIDE, but I think I got some problems when I tried to build it - here the log:


--- Code: ---admin@DESKTOP-4LIGQPD MINGW64 .../TIDE (master)
$ ./spasm64.exe src/TIDE.z80 bin/TIDE.8xk -I src -I ../Z80-Optimized-Routines
Pass one...
Pass two...
App: 4226 bytes
exporter: error SE504: Name field missing

--- End code ---

Note. I am working on OS Windows 10 and I put spasm64.exe (downloaded with latest release from https://github.com/alberthdev/spasm-ng/releases, 64-bit Windows exe) into the directory of TIDE.


@NonstickAtom785 Thanks for you replies also!

I have little knowledge about assembly and I have just learned AXE for a short time. I only have some experience with other programming languages.

By the way, I suppose creating such an application via BASIC is a little far away from my mind - we have to meet some difficults, mainly the speed our program runs at.
