SimpleCS' story is quite strange: in my classroom, nearly nobody knows how to use graphing calcs. As I learned BASIC programming when I was 8, I knew a bit of BASIC, and decided to create a program in order to simplify actions made by the user (most of the students made wrong stuff just by setting up FORMAT). "SimpleCS" is because it is a simple one (100% TI-Basic) and easy to use and "SimpleCS" stands for Calc Shell.

PartesOS: Partes is the Latin word for "parts" (I take latin, btw). Its overall architecture is supposed to be modular, so it's composed of many parts. It's also an OS. (Reminds me, I really need to devote my free time to it. Really need to.)

Punix: stands for Puny Unix. It's a small Unix-like OS for the TI-68k calcs.

I was also considering a couple other names that are a little bit NSFW.
Spoiler For if you're curious:
Anux or Penix :D
Kinda like the ASM IDE or ASM compiler name I had in my head for several years ;D (But never used since I do not know how to do an assembler and due to the fact there are already many good ones available for z80 calcs)

Spoiler For Spoiler:
.orgASM

quotes:HERE

And even more:


[07:53:14] <+Frey> Y'know, when people descend from my heavens , they're never Chuck Norris
[07:53:55] <+Frey> I usually get another catgirl or an angel pops down for a visit
[07:54:06] <+Frey> Some angels are really nice
[07:54:33] <+Frey> Some are into the whole "scare the locals" bit
[07:54:54] <+Frey> And some just absent minded
[07:55:38] * +david_ has nothing to do
[07:55:40] <+Frey> It's the absentminded ones you gotta look out for, because the'yre the ones that forget they're 40ft tall
[07:56:04] <+Frey> They're also the ones that forget about social taboos, like nudity
[07:56:28] <+Frey> Have you ever tryed to explain to an angel...anything?
[07:56:45] <+Frey> They don't listenunless they want to
[07:57:16] <+Frey> And don't learn unless they think they don't know
[07:57:51] <+Frey> Except for the nice ones, they're nice
[07:59:27] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> lol
[07:59:32] <+Frey> And they're all so pretty!
[07:59:38] <+Frey> It's ridiculous
[07:59:44] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> I hate PUSHES, THEY HAUNT ME
[08:00:06] <+Frey> Want an angel to come over and exorcise them?
[08:00:36] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> or, more specific: the fact that sometimes, happy outputs: pushes != pops
[08:00:47] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> I know why
[08:01:01] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> and I can solve it by adding a lookahead
[08:01:10] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> But I don't want to
[08:01:24] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> but continue your story
[08:01:35] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> lol
[08:03:13] <+Frey> Ok, so one day, I was walking to the school bus, and, long story short, got my life saved by an angel
[08:03:27] <+Frey> This one was a scary one
[08:03:42] <+Frey> Same height/age as me
[08:04:14] <+Frey> OMG She was the scariest person I had ever met
[08:04:28] <+Frey> She made the entire football team pee their pants
[08:04:43] <+Frey> I was so glad she was on my side
[08:05:04] <+Frey> Right up until she tryed to enter the bathroom with me
[08:05:37] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> lool
[08:05:45] <+Frey> After a muchness of arguing, I finally got through to her
[08:05:56] <+Patrick-D> is this a rap song?
[08:06:06] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<aeTIos> idk
[08:06:09] <+Frey> She tap danced outside my stall the entire time, though
[08:10:04] <+Frey> She was in all my classes too, which was weird, especially as they were all advanced courses and she joined in the middle of the semester
[08:10:28] <+Frey> Even the teachers were scared of her
[08:10:45] <+Frey> Note that she was gorgeous
[08:12:09] <+Frey> So, this angel and I, we managed to stop the apocalypse
[08:12:48] <+Frey> And she kissed me before going back,
[08:13:08] <+Frey> To heaven, but as it turns out that kiss sealed her to Earth
[08:13:47] <+Frey> We still don't know what to do

Most likely because it would get rejected from ticalc.org and lose considerable visibility outside calc forums. :P

Oh nice you're working on a Doodle Jump clone as well? I remember Mohammad was making one, although maybe you had some different features being planned?

Yeah, started it today during maths and not even 3 hours after I have a working interface. Like the main game, after 3 hours I had a working ball and paddle and after 2 days, I had a playable game.

Yeah, that's pretty fast indeed. Seems I'm pretty good to solve some problems like this one and I had all the algorithms already done in my head. Remember how fast you coded some of the Illusiats? It's something like that :P

Also thanks to kindermoumoute's Axe tutorial for the tilemap idea, even improved it :P
