Ok. Star Trek it is. But, I will be abandoning the TI-Basic version and making an attempt with Axe.

Now a question to you asm people: I'm looking for the best way to refresh data about an opponent via the link. Should have the link communication running on a timed interrupt? How would I go about that in Axe (theory only. I'll try to figure out code by myself.)

1. The Star Trek game, where you fight an enemy ship, with controls as close to the movies as I can get them.

2. A Legend of the Seeker ARPG. Legend is an action/fantasy TV series. For details, search it on google or wikipedia.

1. This is extremely difficult, especially since a person who was really trying to be malicious could simply disassemble, slightly change, then reassemble the code, which would render your checks inoperable.

2. Anyway, ignore my skepticism and good luck! (Do be aware of the reputation damage that could be done, though, like DJ said)

1. Not if you are tailoring your checks toward b_calls like unlocking Flash, editting the certificate and stuff like that. The scanner will throw a warning if it detects such routines. Regardless of what they do to the code, they'll still need to use certain b_calls.

2. I know of reputation damage. That's why I'm taking my time working on this and planning it out well. I plan on Blast AntiVirus being known as the AntiVirus that works. Prior to release, I will test it extensively on BrandonW's stuff and try to make it as thourough as possible before release.

*Another feature is this: You may modify the virus definitions file (appvar BDefs) within the program. Let's say someone designs a new virus (or prank) called BXC1 and that program is not in the definitions, you may add it yourself.

**The virus definitions update file that I will periodically provide (for new virus/pranks that are designed after release) is called appvar BUDefs. When you run the antivirus, it will detect the update if one is present. With a single keypress, the antivirus auto-updates the virus definitions, then deletes the update file. Due to the structure of the update process, any self-modifications to the defintions file will be preserved across updates.

***The antivirus and all of its subroutines, appvars, and needed ingredients will be specifically designed so that you only need to send ONE file to your calculator. The installer will do the rest. Furthermore, all parts of this program are designed to endure in the event of any RAM clear.


If anyone has any more suggestions/ideas, please let me know.

Ok. I actually lost track of the other two threads, so sorry about that.

As for persistence, ever since the release of Version 4, I wanted to make one with the potential to search by contents rather than just by name. Also, as you will see in the release, it is more than just an anti-virus. It will also have RAM restore capabilities, if I can get it working properly. And, yes the tool is designed to be used by an average student to wipe out malicious stuff that endangers their ability to play games or cheat on tests.

PS: Version 5.0 will detect OSKILL and BRICK by BrandonW. If Iambian is kind enough to provide his code, I'll include it as well.

PS2: My tutorial in game design is still on the menu to be worked on, and I will also complete the Star Trek game, once I see the necessary command support within Axe.

So thanks to all who are willing to test. My purpose of testing is to make sure it works. And to all the skeptics...this one will actually work.

Regards. 

Both Celtic3 and DCS are installed and running, but DCS compatability is on.

This above program is nearing completion. While it will be some time before it is available for beta testing, I am posting here to ask if anyone is willing to beta test when the time comes. If you want to participate, please post so here, and provide a VALID email address. Thank you.

ok. done. also, Kerm. Can you please post for me the hex that auto-calls the Garbage Collect menu, then autopresses Yes, then, when done, returns to the program it was running.

thanks.

PS: I didn't mind crashing for the sake of helping this routine be bug-free, just as long as its fixable, and I don't have to restart my project. ALL HAIL ARCHUTIL.

PSS: So in the new version, I dont need to worry about crashing or wacking out because I forgot spaces?
