oh nice I was seeing you had a prgm similar to OSR but I didnt knew if it was different or not, I'll try to look into it once I get some times

the textoutput is about the same, but you can customize the textwindowsettings so text doesn

I created a similar tool called http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/353/35320.html specifically for Ultima V. Then, when I began to implement the NPC dialog, I realized it would not work with my design.

It can create text windows with: greyscale, custom sizes, word wrapping, up & down scrolling, margins, linespacing, background & foreground colors, and it uses any 1-bit fixed width font supplied by the user.

Anyone is welcome to use it if they need it. Hopefully someone will make some use of it.

could you remake that prgm in ASM for the TI83+/TI84+ series? %)

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #7 on:** October 19, 2005, 05:15:00 am »

hmm then he would have to learn asm (I think he codes C) %)

Kevin is right. I do most of my coding in C now. I only program in Assembly language when I really need a speed and size optimized function (such as what xLIB supplies). Most of the ASM I have done is 68K and a little PPC; I have never coded in Z80 assembly. I am sure there are alot of similarites. I also really enjoyed programming in Casio BASIC back in the early 1990s.

With that said, I probably will not start any new projects until Ultima V is complete. When it is done, I probably will not do any more HUGE projects like Ultima again.

User Text Windows comes with source code. Although, I personally don't think I did a very good job.

Nope. The Internet was still in its infancy. Internet Explorer did not exist and BBS were still predominant. I wrote them down on paper somewhere... I'm sure they are gone.

I programmed 2 games for the Casio FX 7700 (4K RAM)
- Minesweeper
- Scorched Earth

I programmed 1 game for the Casio FX 6300 (400 bytes RAM)
- Scorched Earth (it required 396 bytes)

The Casio FX 6300 is still the smallest graphing calculator around. The screen resolution was 40x25 pixels if I remember correctly. O_O

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #12 on:** October 21, 2005, 02:58:00 am »

sound nice, but thats a small screen resolution O_O

I did a TI-80 game once for someone, thats why at ticalc.org it says in my profile I know TI-80 BASIC

I was not able to save the games to a PC because I did not have one.

Not to mention, the Casio 6300 did not have a link port. Which forced me to write them down on paper. Wow! That sounds pretty old fashioned.

Did you save your TI-80 game by writing it down?

Hmmm... we are really getting off topic aren't we?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2005, 04:24:00 am »

unfortunately nope, that was just a horse racing bet game anyway. And on top of that it ran very slow (1-2 fps) because the TI-80 has a crappy 980 KHz processor

but yeah I think we are really really off-topic right now
