Indestructo Tank in CASIO Fx-9860G SD and other games
« on: May 01, 2010, 09:20:48 am »
Just trying to find the complete font of CASIO Fx-9860G SD tokens (CASIO did in the minimum a decent work, I have a hint that their tokens are ASCII compatible unlike TI *cough*) and they have all mathematical/logic symbols and greek letter, you would want. And the search directed me to some game archive.

To see the topic, search for "Indestructo Tank v1.1" in the page of the link bellow because the page doesn't have a anchor or link to the topic...
http://www.casiocalc.org/to/fsdisplay.php?cat2disp=FS.FX-9860G.casm

I have been seeing some CASIO and HP calculators just to see the other side. I discovered along the way some ideas to implement on TI calculators.

The FX-9860G series calc are quite nice actually, I kinda wish in BASIC there was an Asm() command so we could run stuff like XCOPY or Flash Gordon to be able to use the flash memory as storage for TI-BASIC games maps and levels, though.

Btw Locate in BASIC on Casio, which is Output() on TI calcs, is like 30x faster than Output()

I wonder if in the future, Axe Parser could be ported to Casio calcs. I think it would be easier to code than MLC interpreter. New tokens would have to be used for many commands, though.

Casio Fx-9860G SD is quite an appealing calculator.

It has C/assembly support, seems to have lots of games, so maybe for math BASIC programs, too.


Axe Parser is not easy to port because you would have to change all the code for another CPU. And there is still the tokens issue but if was done a specific editor to Axe's source code could help a bit.

Yeah true, it would prbly take someone dedicated to port it completly from scratch. I wonder what CPU type does a Casio FX-9860G runs

The fx-9860G/fx-9860GII uses the Renesas SuperH-3 CPU SH7337/SH7355 (SH7705-like), a 32bit RISC processor.

wow never heard of that processor before. I thought the FX-9860G was at around 14 ish MHz, tho? And wikipedia says 29 x.x

And thanks for that link, didn't knew that site existed. I always refered to Wikipedia for calc info as well as the major Casio sites such as Casiocalc.org

I just found it, actually. I didn't know it existed either. :)

a video on Youtube mentions the calc speed can be set up to 58-59 ish MHz



I assume the speed change is done using the CPU Speed changer program by Kucalc which can doubles it, meaning it might initially be 29 MHz as Wikipedia says. Still amazing, though. I wish Casio BASIC interpreter was much faster. Many 9860G BASIC commands runs at the regular 83+ speed. Some are blazing fast, though, such as Locate.

RISC was used in personal computers, I think. But I know because I saw Wikipedia articles about CPUs.
It is quite an advanced CPU compared to the z80, it has 32KB of cache. :o
It saw C support somewhere, if it has a good library of functions, I believe it won't be much harder than Axe.

well Axe is much easier than C but if there are macros and the like it might make it easier.

A game I personally like is Drag Racer V1 by Paul White.

It can be found at http://www.toppagedesign.com/DRAGRACE.G1A

Another good addin is X-Life (Conway's game of life). It let's you change the rules and edit the "map". Then it runs it.

It can be found here: http://www.toppagedesign.com/XLIFE.G1A

Hmm I never tried those. I should give them a try on my FX-9860G at one point.

They're from CK. They are part of my "operation CK salvage", where I try to salvage the best of CK. Maybe I could get some volunteers who can still access CK to help me?

See the official thread here: http://www.casiocalc.org/?showtopic=6387
