Patrick Prendergast (more known as tr1p1ea on forums) has just released xLIB 0.601b to public, an APP that started revolutionizing the world of TI-83+ BASIC earlier! For those who don't know xLIB an APP that adds lot of functionality to TI-83+ BASIC programs. It installs a parser hook which will intercept any real( requests. It features very fast sprite routine, tilemaps (8x8 and 16x16), recalling archived and non-archived pictures very fast (enough to make 4 level flickerless grayscale, even 5!) or storing pictures, reverse video text, rectangle and line library, running and copying archived programs directly from archive, getkey routine allowing diagonal movements, contrast changing, scrolling screen tools, turning run indicator off, check RAM and calc model! A must for every TI-83+/84+ programmers, as it includes practically all existing BASIC libraries ever made since the birth of those calc models, but like 10x faster, if not more. Some people might alerady have a slightly older version used for beta-testing or still use the old version 0.5, so make sure you get the new version which is alerady avaliable in Omnimaga archives (so we don't have to wait VERY VERY PATIENTLY for ticalc.org to update their archives with it

) and make sure you update your xLIB projects with it!

On that note I would also like to thanks tr1p1ea for his great support in the community, he has provided great help and feedback in people projects since he joined and have been nice with everybody, kept them motivated to continue. So congrats to tr1p1ea for xLIB and his support in the community.

I have two projects in mind for xlib... I figure I might as well give it a whirl...

One of them is AODR, the other is... well, I can't tell you that...

Tr1p1ea thankyou so much, you have given a new meaning to the world of TI-Basic games! I have some projects I am working on that I hope will make great use of xLIB.

I think the ne thing I have with xLib is Omnicalc compatibility

Radical Pi · « **Reply #9 on:** February 11, 2006, 09:08:00 am »

XLib + Omnicalc = four level grayscale with sound.

Already working on it

kalan_vod · « **Reply #10 on:** February 11, 2006, 09:15:00 am »

You do realize they use the same ram areas right? That would cause some problems.

rivereye · « **Reply #11 on:** February 11, 2006, 09:46:00 am »

they also use the same keyhooks

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2006, 10:10:00 am »

well xlib powns omnicalc anyway, omnicalc is more for those who need the math functions in it or want to slow down their games with sound

Radical Pi · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2006, 10:14:00 am »

Can xlib be given a sound feature?

Spellshaper · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2006, 10:23:00 am »

can: yes o course!
should: why not?
will it: probably not...

tr1p1ea has done enough...
