MLC (Multi-Platform Language for Calcs) is an interpreted language for the TI-86 and the Casio AFX. It was also being worked on for the TI-83+, but I'm not sure if it ever got finished.

burntfuse, some of you may know him, was one of the people that helped make MLC for the TI-86. He was working on MLC 3.0, but never finished. I thought that MLC was one of the coolest things though and offered to help out. I didn't really do anything yet, but I started making an on-calc help file in assembly for the TI-86. I didn't get very far, but you can download it to see how's it's going to be formatted, etc. Click http://savefile.com/files.php?fid=8691114 to download it. I'll try to get some screenshots up soon.

I remember that, i thought it was pretty sweet!

Too bad it wasn't finished or ported to 83+'s though...

I wish some one would pick this project up again. I, for one, would love to see MLC for all calcs.

I remember some really nice grayscale arcade games were programmed in MLC for the TI-86. They were very fast, MLC had a lot of potential. I hope you will continue work on the project, and that more people will join in.

sounds like it was cool...

It would be great if its name was more truthful; (multi-platform).
Someone should port this to more calcs, or it could become the interpreted language for http://brazucs.unitedti.org/vera/forum/.

Here's a screenshot of what I did so far to the help file:

looks cool! Exactly how does MLC work again? Is it asm hybrid?

Spellshaper · « **Reply #9 on:** May 07, 2006, 09:43:00 am »

I think the interpreter itself is written in Asm along with the editor.

The interpretor is written in assembly, but the code is edited with the built-in BASIC editor. That's how it works on the TI-86; I'm not sure about the Casio AFX though.

Well if there is ever a version for the 83+ I will give it try

, but I think it looks great as it is. Pacha (spelling?) made something similar, but it's mostly in French (the readmes) and it's rather large (takes almost all the app pages on a 83+).

nice to see its picked up again. I posted a link to this topic on the old EPS forums in case someone comes here and seek for MLC 86 progress.

kalan_vod; I think it was Kuda, but he stopped workign on it

kalan_vod · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2006, 11:53:00 am »

Ah, well anywho I would like to see this working on the 83+ one day (has anyone heard anything about someone working on the port still? or anyone willing to?).

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2006, 12:43:00 pm »

gimpynerd and the_unknown_one were planning on one in the early days of eps, but its dead now
