Introducing myself
« on: November 16, 2010, 06:43:16 pm »
Well, I just learned about Omnimaga today, so I have a bit of exploring to do. 
I speak a bit of French, so I might also look around at the French sections of the sight...
I was invited here by Shmibs, and I was told to just make an account and introduce myself...
I was also given some apps including DoorsCS7 and Axe, and I was told I could receive some explanation of what those programs do-I know a fair amount of basic programming (I program on the TI-84) so explaining it to me will (hopefully) be a bit easier.

welcome to omnimaga!

DoorsCS comes in handy in many ways. at the core, it's a shell that will allow you to run programs. what makes it a good shell is the fact it can allow you to run programs without unarchiving, it supports Basic libraries, MirageOS/Ion etc programs, and many other features.

Axe is a programming language similar to BASIC, but has concepts seen in assembly. it can be really powerful once you get used to syntax. for example, this code is all syntactically correct:

Code: [Select]
:32->A+2->B
:+1->D
:.Comment! notice the period at the beginning of the line.
:While ->D-32   
:.Yes, that "-32" is with a minus sign.
:Disp "AXE.",i         
:.That's the imaginary i. [2nd][.]
:D-1
:End

Welcome to.........The GameOmnimaga!
I hope you enjoy it.  Axe is a great language, and it's much easier to produce good games with. (compared to ASM)

Hi, and welcome to Omnimaga!

Metaphor time!
If the normal calculator homescreen is like command prompt on windows, then DoorsCS is like a GUI file browser (where you can can click on icons to navigate folders, etc.)  It also is a programming tool - it comes built in with libraries that enhance normal BASIC, allowing more better programs to be made.  DoorsCS is necessary to run these augmented programs - they won't run otherwise.

If TI-Basic is like a really slow and crippled version of Python that can never be compiled, then Axe is like a super fast, awesome, easy-to-use version of C (or C++ or C#, etc.) that, due to its sheer awesomeness, can make incredible games (grayscale and ultra-speed!  Sprites!), but isn't so good at math.  (But with great power comes great responsibility - Axe can cause RAM clears if you aren't careful, and you will probably clear your RAM numerous times during debugging.  It can also probably be harnessed to deliberately kill your calc, although it hasn't happened to anybody I know.  So just back up frequently, keep everything in Archive and use DoorsCS's homerun feature to run programs directly from archive). 

Edit: And assembly is like coding with butterflies.  http://xkcd.com/378/

My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

hey, you! that was rather prompt.
the apps i gave you are slightly out of date (there is one newer version for both Doors and Axe. i just haven't bothered to download them yet. they will both come with documentation when downloaded so you wont be completely lost). oh, and be sure to back things up in your archive often from now on(because you'll be playing around with asm). an easy way to copy a basic program into the archive is to make a new program, hit recall (2nd+Sto), then program, select the one you wish to copy, hit enter, and then exit and archive the program.

from the brief(say 5 seconds worth) amount of program runtime i saw, he does know a decent amount of basic, as he claims. oh, and he has an SE calc, btw

Ah nice, hopefully he eventually gain interest in coding Axe or more BASIC. Maybe ASM too, although that's a bit harder. :P
