turbo basic

[Dragon__lance]

well,i was lookin through the archives at ticalc.org, and i found this, http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/232/23299.html Anyone who knows french wanna check it out, cause the tutorial's in french. I hope this has some potential like BZC  B)

[DJ Omnimaga]

I missed this one o.o I should check it out, having the tutorials in french is one plus for me, since I speak french as native language

[CureDesu]

Well...how does it work?


I speak a little French myself  :lol:



By the way, I'm new (I'm from UTI). Whats this "money" thing under my name? Can I buy stuff? Please explain.

Welcome   .

I don't think you can really do anything with the money.

As for turbo basic, it looks cool  B) .

[tenniskid493]

The money is just a gimmick to get people to post more.  If I get enough motivation, I might make some form of store to go along with it

To stay on topic, I think I saw a topic somewhere else about this.  I'll see if I can find it.

The site has a tutorial in English. This is quite simple code, as it reminds me of java. You can compile it to 86 asm, but it will not compile into a program for me >.<. Once looking at the asm file, it is converted just as asm code. So it works and all, but if you cant compile 86 programs it is useless....unless one can make it compile into z80!

sound cool

 86 ASM is z80 ASM.  For the most part, it's difficult to change something from 86 to 8x+ easily because 86 has a memory mapped screen and different ROMcall addresses.

Actually, the main concern is the memory mapped screen, because on the 8x+s, the lack of a memory mapped screen is why ASM is slowed down.  You have to manually send info to the LCD port, whereas on the 86's memory mapped screen, you write directly to the LCD's buffer which will automatically update the screen by itself.

Basically, the memory mapping means the screen changes if the buffer changes.  That is not the case on the 8x+s

Sorry, I meant to say 83+/SE/84 line.

i wish 83+ line had memory mapped lcd, even in basic gs would look better

ya  

ASM greyscale would look 100x better.  Maybe even 8 level gs, since 83+ series have more space for data.

I checked this out too. The basic looks good and the project looks promising. As is it though, it does have a 4k runtime but the author says he plans to tidy it up.

[kalan_vod]

Don't count on it, it was released in '02.

[DJ Omnimaga]

yeah its dead but i am wondering if its functional, if we can make games with it becase I saw the syntax and unlike most other basic like languages it is similar
