C or ASM IDE for the Nspire
« on: April 12, 2012, 05:30:45 am »
I'm thinking of coding an on-calc IDE for C or ASM for the Nspire, with syntax highlighting and stuff like that. Is this a good idea? Would you like to see it? Tell me in the comments!

A C/Asm on-calc IDE is not very useful since we don't have an on-calc compiler :P

Well, there's syntax highlighting and some other features in here http://omniurl.tk/6082/242635

The project could be really interesting if you add the compiler with.
For the C I think the compiler would use too memory, but the assembly it is possible.
Are you doing a nMimas ? ;)

Good idea. I'm sure coders would code more with an on calc compiler :D
And once the compiler is done, maybe we could see Axe4nspire ! ;D
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

You can definitely put a C compiler on the calculator. It has been done for 68k calculators, and the TI-Nspire is much more powerful.
However, it is not an easy task.
I'd say take a look at the TCC compiler, IIRC correctly it has ARM support.

Thanks for your suggestions and thoughts, everybody. I think I'll start this over the summer, after finals.
Of course, keep posting any suggestions, thoughts, etc. pertaining to this idea.

You should do an IDE with multi tabs, and with sprite editor.
If you do your project, sure I'll download it !

So is it on-calc or off the calc? If it's off the calc, then I think we definitively need more tools specific to the TI-Nspire like TIGCC/GCC4TI on the 68K calcs to make dev easier (currently, people are scared away because they have no clue where to start), along with the stuff like nSDL in another topic.

If it's on the computer then it would be nice too, because some of us don't always have access to a computer and it would be nice, like 84+ users, to be able to develop directly on our machine.

I intend to make it an on-calc editor, because I personally usually program on-calc with my 84.

If you do, then that means that I have a chance to actually learn nSpire stuff. :D

there's only one thing i don't really get.. is there so much ASM development for the Nspire? or is it just that i don't see see it? because i haven't seen anywhere programs made in ASM for the Nspire xs therefore it seems a bit lost work to make an ASM compiler

If you do an on-calc IDE, one thing you should add is the ability to go to page top/bottom, like on Casio calcs.

Barely anyone codes in ASM. Calc84maniac did, but almost everyone else seems to use C. In fact it was the same on 68K calcs after TIGCC arrived and since Cemetech took over PRIZM development now it seems to be the same for that platform too (when PRIZM dev started on Omni people were using ASM)
