MLC 3.0
« on: May 05, 2006, 01:08:00 pm »
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 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.

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/.

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 :Ptongue.gif, 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+).
