I found another bug with Axe compilation. Unlike Axe, zStart doesn't check whether a program is compilable or not, so you can accidentally compile another source file (e. g. a file with subroutines etc.) which is not meant to be compiled as the main program by Axe. It causes Axe to crash or compile another program (like the one directly above or below (?) in the program list). Of course you can avoid this by not doing the On + Sto-> in the wrong place but it happened multiple times when I didn't watch out.

Ok, I'll fix that when I fix stuff.

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Feature idea:
For now, when we are in the program editor, we have shortcuts to quickly compile an Axe source execute it and come back to editing.
Could there be the possibility to have the same (without the compiling part) for Basic and Grammer programs ?
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.

Suggestion: Checking the os of a 83+SE before isntalling run on ram clear instead of only making the calc ram clear (it did that with os 1.15)

I'm almost 100% positive it works with basic programs too. Grammer, maybe someday.

Oops, that's a good idea.

FYI: I think the zstart on Ticalc.org has two of the 83+ version. When I send either to my calc they're named zstart83.

I'm using the link from here now :P lesson learned, but you might want to fix that.
I just wanted to let you know that I can verify this. One of them is named as though it's the 84+ version, but they are actually both copies of the TI-83+ Version. I was trying to get a copy from Ticalc yesterday while Omnimaga was down.

I have absolutely no idea what is going on ???
I am making a program using zstaxe and it has many problems. I don't know at all if that comes from zstaxe, maybe it is Wabbitemu's fault, but the problems appeared when I added zstaxe, so I assumed it was its fault.

First problem:
When the first 3 lines of the code were those,
#Axiom(ZSTAXE)
#Axiom(TEXT)
#Axiom(AMEMKIT)

Axe freezed a few seconds after the first pass, then continued compiling and the outputted program "worked".
Then, I tried changing the first 3 lines in to this (basically, changing their order):
#Axiom(AMEMKIT)
#Axiom(TEXT)
#Axiom(ZSTAXE)

And the freezing time disappeared ???

Second problem:
I said "worked" because the background image had an offset, for some reason, even though I didn't change any command on the background drawing code.

Here is the full source code if you are interested, in spoiler. See the offset in Lbl DG, there is a "+156" that should normally not be necessary but the background is not at the right place if that "+156" is not there.

You'll have to ask runer. I may have screwed up the axiom, but it might also be an axe problem.

Does zStaxe have to be last for it to work?

I don't know if it "has to be last", but the alphabetical order works while the anti-alphabetical order doesn't. I'll try other orders when I get back on the right PC (now on my sister's computer).

Yeah, the ticalc version definitely contains two zStart83's.

Also, i'm getting a RAM clear whenever i try to enable >C000 execution on zStart83. It only happens when i exit that menu, but i can't seem to enable >C000 execution. I'm using an 83+ OS 1.19, i tried zStart v.1.3.010 and 1.3.009.

Kind of update:
  • fixed the issue with it freezing on inputs
  • fixed crashing when trying to install on the wrong OS
  • fixed (probably) the C000 issue a few people had on 83+BE's
  • fixed an issue involving interrupts and port (07)




Stuff I intend on fixing later:
I came across this "bug" multiple times now:
When you turn off the calculator while you're editing an archived program (the copy of one), and zStart wants to store the edited version and GarbageCollect appears, the LCD turns off and and it doesn't react on any key presses (calc behaves like turned off, but it isn't) before you can do a GarbageCollect. You need to remove the batteries and lose the current progress which is kinda annoying :/
Is there someway you can prevent the calc (or its peripherals) from turning off when the program isn't saved yet?
Can we have find|replace?
I found another bug with Axe compilation. Unlike Axe, zStart doesn't check whether a program is compilable or not, so you can accidentally compile another source file (e. g. a file with subroutines etc.) which is not meant to be compiled as the main program by Axe. It causes Axe to crash or compile another program (like the one directly above or below (?) in the program list). Of course you can avoid this by not doing the On + Sto-> in the wrong place but it happened multiple times when I didn't watch out.


If after a few days, there are no glaring mistakes in this, I'll upload it to ticalc.org finally.
