Sub-Categories added to the "Other Calc-Related Projects and Ideas" Board

Why are Asm (and for the Nspire, C) and TI-BASIC in the same category? Aren't they the languages that are the least similar to each other?

We didn't sort them by language as much as by popularity.  Lua and Axe have a lot of projects coming in, since they are easy to use yet powerful.

Thanks for doing this! It will help with organization.

[Yeong]

so... does Grammer program counts as TI-BASIC?

[NanoWar]

Grouping by popularity helps when you're posting, but not when you're reading.
I would like to browse a forum that has one topic rather than totally unrelated topics that happen to just be equally popular (ASM <> Basic), because I read by category.

[Chockosta]

This is really useful...
Thanks !

A suggestion I would have is to make sure all new sub-boards include the word "projects" at the end of the title, else for newer people who only use the New Posts page to browse the forums, they might get confused between help and project topics and not click a project thread if they think it's help requests. Otherwise I like this.

also, it might be helpful to put Grammer section too.

[Xeda112358]

Hmm, it does have a very different syntax from the others, so having another section for Grammer might be conducive to receiving help faster and more efficiently (so that people don't give advice that doesn't work because "ooooooh, that was for Grammer! I saw the nCr and figured...").

EDIT: Not a quote, just a hypothetical sitch-ee-ashun

[Yeong]

lol

[DJ Omnimaga]

Now that you mention it, a grammer sub-forum for the project updates like Axe has and another for help at least. Project could workt oo I guess, seeing hwo many Grammer projects there are.

I actually suggested it via PM a while ago to every admin, but to no avail...

This is pretty much exactly what we did. We are discussing further dividing them by language. More changes may be coming.

This is true as well. I wasn't quite sure what to do with Grammer to be honest, but it may need a separate section as well.

I wonder where GlaßOs fits in as it uses C as its primary language with less than 5% of the code inline asm and some projects don't touch asm at all... :-P  Sorry if I am breaking the system already

[willrandship]

I'd say C still goes in the asm category, since that's really where it fits best. It sure isn't a hybrid language, and it's not compiled on calc.

[annoyingcalc]

I like this idea

I'm not sure, I don't know of anyone (other than yourself) that programs in C for the Z80 series. It could just stay in the root directory for now. Eventually when it reaches a stable and largely functional state it could be moved to Major Community Projects.
