I'm going to try to get a TI-83+ Silver Edition this upcoming weekend (I simply can't stand not having a calculator in the most popular TI calculator series with all of these great programs for it).  I'm also going to try to learn assembly for the TI-83+ series.  Knowing assembly for the TI-86 will definitely help, partially because TI-83+ series calculators and the TI-86 both run on the Zilog 80 processor.  

So, everybody, expect a version, maybe alpha or something, of MLC for the TI-83+ series of calculators within a few months.  

Also, do you all think this should this be a flash application or not?  I'm leaning towards making this a flash application, but I don't know much about TI-83+ flash applications and there may be some downsides to this.

w00t MLC for 83+! do you think you could be able to break the code size limit? it would be even cooler! I voted for flash app

Here's a quote from my description of MLC at http://www.backpocketcalc.com/?q=mlc:

QUOTE

The Multi-Platform Language for Calcs (MLC) is an interpreted language that will run on the Casio AFX and the TI-86. It was also being made for the TI-83+, but never got finished. Learn more about MLC here. I offered to help The Epic Programming Studios (EPS) with MLC 3.0. Burntfuse, a member of EPS, had already started on it, and was kind enough to give me intructions on building MLC 3.0 and gave me the source code of what he did so far.

MLC looks amazing!,please port it!(if there's anything i could do to help....) edit:another question i have is how exactly does MLC work?is the language saved in a ASM program,so once it's ran by the MLC editor,it get's interpreted like BASIC?and how large is the editor exaclty?

Yes, there are finished versions of MLC for the TI-86 and the Casio AFX.  They were availible at the http://dysfunction.earthforge.com, but it doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.... MLC is edited directly on the calculator using the TI-86's built-in TI-BASIC prgram editor.  You must put c1 --> CODE ec1 MLC: c2 ec2 At the top of your program in order for the MLC shell to recognize it. I'm not exactly sure how it works on the Casio AFX, but you can try asking the people at the http://www.casiocalc.org/?showforum=18. EDIT:  I think that for there is an MLC editing program for the Casio AFX, but I'm not completely sure.

Note that after where it says "SIZE:  ", it will of course display the selected programs size, and in the empty space will be a list of all MLC programs on the calculator. I was also thinking of making the GUI with 4-level grayscale, but I decided not to because it isn't really needed and would just make the program larger.  What do you all think?

MLC is going to be big they will have to add another category at ticalc even. I dont know about Bfr, but I hope to add an oncalc editor to make it so you the creator dont have to spend a bunch of time punching in numbers. @xlibman, were you on the staff at EPS? I think you were right? Is there anything you can remember...or perhaps do you have any of the old mock ups we made?
