Axe / Re: 4x4 sprites
« on: January 18, 2012, 12:56:18 am »
Yeah, there aren't any specialized 4*4 sprite commands.  Normally I use Pt-Etc and have the right and bottom halves empty.  You end up wasting 6 bytes for every sprite :/ but I'm not aware of another way.

a video says you would still be able to bypass it by typing in an ip address
The DNS block can be avoided using IP addresses, but SOPA does way more than just that. Companies that provide money or advertisements to sites, or in the case of search engines, link to them, can be forced to stop doing so.

in portuguese:
sopa means soup and pipa means wine barrel :D
In Swedish: Sopa means garbage (or sometimes a person who is very bad at something) and pipa means... Well, I'm not completely sure of what it's called in English. Google Translate says pipe, but I'm not sure if that's accurate.
PIPA, in English, comes rather close to PITA.  (pain in the --).  Kind of fits? XD

I'm not really a fan of one-word/smilie posts, but...

Also Zelda on the 9750G? 0.o  Would that have worked on the 9750gii?

Yea SOPA is horrible. I can't even imagine what will happen if the bill passes as is. And the morons voting on it really haven't a clue about technology (most of them anyways). x.x
Indeed, the person who made it up in the first place is 64.  :|

To me, it seems the punch line of the whole thing is that it won't stop the piracy.  People will almost find a way around whatever barriers are placed in the way, the only people it'll block are normal people.
I'm half-wondering, if this does get passed, it would trigger some new breakthrough like boot 1.03 caused around here XD

Axe / Re: Axe Q&A
« on: January 15, 2012, 08:48:10 pm »
Is Axe supposed to check for pairing of types of parenthesis?  Because I had a bug because of an on-calc typo of something like If {A}=2 or ({A}=5) or ((A}=8) and it compiled without error.

Axe / Re: How to display a Pic
« on: January 15, 2012, 01:33:27 pm »
You can copy it to your buffer of choice, with something like
Copy(GDB#,L6,768)

« on: January 15, 2012, 01:30:35 pm »
The simplest way is to do
[Pic#]→GDB#
And when compiled GDB# should have the pic inside of it.

TI Z80 / Re: 2-3 person project?
« on: January 15, 2012, 01:11:27 am »
Perhaps you could use a type of metal for the name, like "Iron Slug" or something?
Or "Plastic Slug" for the calculator's casing

Edit: apparently Iron Slug already exists, in some card game or another. :P

TI Z80 / Re: zStart - an app that runs on ram clears
« on: January 13, 2012, 08:34:32 pm »
Feature request: something to reset/re-make the appvar quickly from within the app.

Edit:

Bug: when editing an archived program, and you trigger the APD by on+stat, upon returning to the homescreen the cursor is always at the top-left.
It doesn't happen with programs in the RAM.
*Not only the top.  I just went to the middle after doing enough to get the screen to scroll.
I'm not sure if MP OSes handle the home screen differently...?  Using 2.43 anyway.

General Calculator Help / Re: Problems with GarbageCollect?
« on: January 13, 2012, 06:18:25 pm »
In the meantime, I've been able to "fix" the problem by having an axe program run on startup, the source of which is just Shade(48) ;D
(just need to not turn it down accidentally :P)

Edit.  Uninstalled everything in zStart, uninstalled zStart itself, deleted the appvar, cleared ram and reinstalled stuff.  It's been working properly for ~20 minutes now :D

I haven't tried the full-erase yet, but I just got the problem again and this time looked at it more closely.
 - The problem is always the same: the OS can't seem to change the contrast
 - When turning on the calc, the LCD is at minimum contrast.  zStart app reports that it's set to something like 63.
 - Trying to turn up contrast prints a junk token where the number normally appears (0D ) and achieves nothing.
 - Trying to run the contrast down seems to cut almost all power to the LCD, maybe minimum contrast?  It looks like it's printing something here as well.
 - Asm programs can change the contrast successfully, such as an axe program containing Shade()
 - When the contrast is turned down/off, and fixed by an asm program, the junk token changes.
 - While clearing RAM, the contrast is set properly.  It doesn't fix the glitch tho.  However once the calc is turned off this is apparently lost, and on the next startup it's low again.
 - The On+Del trick sets the contrast right, albeit clearing ram.  Haven't tried OS self-test.
 - At times, it seems to be fixed, when turning the calc on/off works properly.  However, installing, or maybe just running, an app (maybe any app?) tends to break it again.
 - I looked at calcsys for a bit, the App vat seems to have the numbers going in sequential order, starting with Axe on page 62 and ending with Calcsys on page 69.

Edit: after uninstalling zStart and clearing ram, it's back to normal.  When I re-install zStart the glitch returns.
Maybe I ought to re-send that one app, see if it works?

Edit2: unchecked everything and installed, and it' working properly.  Now to find the culprit setting..
Post-edit: It doesn't seem to be any setting..installing any part of it seems to cause problems.  Even running the app seems to cause the err...
What's weird is that it only started doing this recently, after something, maybe or maybe not garbageCollect, messed up multiple times.

Edit3: zStart 1.3.005 btw
