I've been getting into making small TI-83+ TI-BASIC programs with cool effects lately. Anyway, it lets the user scroll down some text. It's almost finished. I still need to optimize it though. Here's a screenshot of it running on a regular TI-83+:

hot, why is this in spam?
-
I'm wasn't sure if it should go here, but just to be safe.....
It just seems like there isn't much to talk about after I post it. But, I guess it could go somewhere else. I'll move it though :)

for some reasons there seems to be lot of calc talk in the spam forum at Omnimaga
-
well that's a good thing :)
i guess, less spam talk ^^
-
altough its totally the opposite in the IRC channel :(
I wish it would end and that there would be more calc stuff again :/
-
Nice man, I made something similar in DDR but not with s scroll bar!!!
-
on top of that its all ascii, it would be pretty neat in ASCII RPGs for item/magic menus
-
I agree, very cool.
-
Yea I like that scrollbar too
-
This scrollbar program was featured in a suite of programs that perform effects on text...Text Tools (soon, or maybe not so soon, to be availible at http://www.ticalc.org). It is in 100% TI-83+ TI-BASIC, except for a little bonus program that I included that is in assembly that inverses text. Here are some screenshots:





It can be downloaded in the attachment.

o.o
wow lol weird, especially 3rd screenshot
-
I like the one where the text flys in the best
-
Text Tools 1.1 is now availible! Here's a new screenshot of a new effect it can produce:

I call it "wave" effect, because the text is put into kind of a wave shape. I used the trigonometric sine function (sin() on the TI-83+) for this effect. I also fixed a small problem in the spiral effect program.
I'll post a download link soon for Text Tools 1.1, because it is too large to be put into an attachment.
-
cool! hmm you gotta tell me which prgm you released from mid may to today so I can add most of them to archives
-
Thanks for the support. :)
I already added Text Tools to the archives though, in "TI Programming Tools". I didn't release much lately; I basically have a bunch of unfinished stuff. I have a few small programs that I finished, but they probably aren't good enough to be in the archives >.<. You can see my http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/92/9249.html. Also, here is the link to download Text Tools 1.1: http://filexoom.com/files/2006/10/8/24467/Text%20Tools.zip

kk I'll check, i alerady seen calcman so I,ll prbly add the most recent one
-
http://www.freewebs.com/vdesignfiles/texttools.htm to download the latest version of Text Tools, which now includes an assembly program with cool assembly effects :)
(but I mostly made the assembly program to practice TI-83 Plus assembly).
Yes, I know, it's freewebs >.< I've just been having trouble finding a good file host. I've already tried savefile.com, but I don't like how it doesn't keep files if they aren't being downloaded enough, and it keeps saying that I need cookies enabled when they are enabled when I try to go to savefile.com with firefox.
-
odd sometimes free upload sites are weird, I dlled it now and updated the archives with it :)
-
What do you think of it? I'm probably going to make the assembly program a completely different thing, and call it "randLIB" because it's just going to have a bunch of apparently random functions. I'm probably going to get rid of the 2ND tool, the one that displays part or more of Str1, because it is just bad, and could be modified to be something better and different.
-
Well, I don't want to make a new thread for every little new TI-83+ TI-BASIC program I make, so I'll just post this in this thread (besides, it is part of it is related to Text Tools). Anyway, I made a horizontal scrollbar program (although I still like my vertical scrollbar program better) and an ellipse-type effect thingy :P
(there has got to be a better way to express what I mean). Here are some screenshots of the "ellipse-type effect thingy":



I don't have any screenshots of my horizontal scrollbar program, yet. I'll try to put them both up to download sometime.
I also made two tile-mapping engines which were both pretty fast but not very sophisticated. My TI-84 Plus Silver Edition reset yesterday. (I was the one who reset it actually. I was testing Text Tools, and accidentally used the tool that displays part of Str1 and beyond to display the whole Str1 and the next few thousand characters or something because the amount of characters to be displayed is stored in the variable A, and I accidentally put a very large number in A. So, being a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition n00b, I thought that the silver oxide battery in it would retain the calculator's RAM while I took out one AAA battery to stop the program, but it reset the RAM)

hmm the two first screenshots would fit with some kind of magic animation in a RPG and a logo/banner in game
