Have your calculator be a program.  You could do all the normal things such as math from the front screen, except you would have certain code run differently.
For example.
-The graphing doesn't update the screen every frame, thus making graphing at least 5 times faster.
-
Somebody should make a faster program scroller. Like jump to row, jump to end, etc. ive been scrolling through this bloody map for over a minute and i still havent gotten to the end.
- You could still run your programs as if it had No-shell running.
-and anything else you can think of.


Another suggestion.
Have a program that will change all your programs to "hidden","archived", or "unarchived"
Every time I get a ram clear, It will make all programs visible again :P.

Another suggestion :P
A program that will defragment your calc as if you just deleted an app.  (I have needed to make apps , just to delete them, before.  Defragmentation can really help some problems ;)

* Happybobjr is remembering the time when all of his apps were named "Finance..."
* Happybobjr was dumb and compiled and ram a subprogram instead of the main one.

All of these problems could be solved by writing a new version of the TI-OS. We could hack the OS code in order to optimize the OS routines (such as replacing the slow graphing routine with SafeCopy, and fixing all them bugs). However, note that all of the entry points would have to be in the same locations in order for our programs to work properly.

I don't think they will do anything about it. The best solution would be to dissassemble the OS and recode it yourself. But it's worth a shot.

No, I think they might listen to something simple like that.

A simpler version of the iPod game Glass Tower? It's really fun and I think it would be cool on a calculator.

P.S. Could it be written in the programming language for Casio fx-9860G Slim? Or not?

Programming for the casio in Omnimaga focuses more on the PRIZM.

Also, the game looks very hard to code.

The powerups would probably be very hard to code. :(

I mean all those cool physics/gravity effects.

Ideas for projects on the ti-84
« Reply #144 on: April 20, 2011, 07:44:02 pm »
So I have a suggestion an exact replica of the NES Super Mario Bros like Super Mario 86 v0.95 SMB replica not like mario 2.0  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D on the ti-84 (not in color) or an NES :D :D :D emulator on ti-84 I know there is one for the ti-nspire but I don't have one :mad: I would really like that!!!

I would actually suggest either trying out Mario 2.0 on ticalc.org (its in the 20 most downloaded games section, along with 1.2) or waiting for project M (which is NOT a good idea if you don't have many months of patience).  I also think another member is trying to port SMB 2, iirc. 

But, if you wanna try to make one, I would encourage it ;) if so, good luck!


Well I use Mario 2.0 but I like nes better I am tring to make one but it will take me a llllllooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg time!!!


NES :D :D :D emulator on ti-84 I know there is one for the ti-nspire but I don't have one :mad: I would really like that!!!
this would be an insanely hard project, as the resolution is much, much higher on the NES, and it would probably require more space than the calculator has :P
If you were to try one of these projects, I would recommend ALOT of ASM knowledge.

well Super Mario Bros has been made on the ti-85 ti-86 ti-89 ti-92 and a NES emulator on the ti-nspire

A new idea for whoever, really big project: RC Pro Am.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rc_pro_am
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.C._Pro-Am_II
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_R.C._Pro-Am ← works with ti-boy, btw

Think TinyCarZ, but the viewpoint off to a side (sort of 3d, but not really) and with upgradable cars and weapons.  And drifting, probably the best aspect.
Good luck, and can't wait ;)

EDIT: screenies of what the game looks like, wasn't able to get an animated gif so oh well :P

Only the latter one works?

It's an interesting project and this seem too hard.

The first two are for the nes, so they aren't ti-boy compatible :P

Maybe the nes emulator on the nspire, tho...
