Multiplayer in Axe?
« on: November 11, 2011, 07:17:51 am »
Is it possible to have multiplayer via the link cable thing in Axe.  If so, can someone give me a general idea of how or refer me to a tutorial?

Multiplayer with two calc's actually just means sending files from the one calc to the other. I can't answer your question because I don't know if this is possible. If it doesn't we'll just have to force Quigibo. :P

Yes you can, with
Send(BYTE,TIME)|Tries to send the byte across the linkport. It will keep trying until the other calculator receives the byte or time runs out. Returns 1 if the byte was sent successfully or 0 if it timed-out. Time is in the order of microseconds.
Get|Checks if the sender is trying to send anything. Returns the byte if it was received or -1 if nothing was sent. No waiting is done.

You will have to set it up in such a way that the needed data (such as score, position, speed, etc.) gets sent from calc to calc. Then, the program will have to parse the sent data.

I have tried this. It did not end well. The amount of blood exceeded safe flying limits. But seriously, I don't think calcs are the best for multi-system multiplayer.

Ignoring the blood, it did work. Just not well. And i meant for games. The delay is acceptable for chat.

is there (if not someone needs to make one!) a wireless connector to go between calcs? that would make a chat program more practical!

Multiplayer is possible if done well. It requires a lot of experience in Axe programming, though, so I would advise against taking on such large project if you are still kinda new or intermediate to Axe Parser.

For good multiplayer connection, you must have one of the calc waiting data from the other calc, then once the other calc sends it, it goes in wait mode, waiting for the updated data from the other calc, in a ping-pong fashion. That way if the connection is poor or if you disconnect the calcs then reconnect them, it will simply wait until both calcs are reconnected. This can be slow in some cases, though, but it allow for games to remain in sync. (Not every 83+ run at the same speed, for example. one 83+ can be 6.0001 MHz while the other can be 6.0250 MHz)

Also note that not many people have link cables as the 2.5mm are hard to acquire sometimes :/ but nice multiplayer games are pretty cool

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

I think last release was a dud, but one before that should work.

You should know however, 2 player games do not work with the 83+, Nspire 84 emu, and 7 foot cable.
If you need any help with making a two player game, just call on me.
Don't forget to make your send commands have if statments combined.

So something like....
if getkey(3)
If send(3,60000)
X+1->1
end
end

or else you will get out of sync.
