Muhahaha! Sweet. No penalties, except in subroutines! No more having to create elaborate 'While' or 'Repeat' loops to manage program flow! Now the only thing I have to worry about is the occasional velociraptor. *Michael wanders off whistling, planning.

In Axe, what precisely does DiagnosticOff and DiagnosticOn do? The documentation states that it turns off the run indicator, plus prevents 'Done' from displaying, but the run indicator is never on normally (I think). The User's Guide states that it leaves your code cleaner: in what way?
In Axe, are there any penalties for using Goto? If I did this:
For(X,0,9)
Lbl EX1
End
Goto EX1
What would that do?
What about this?
Lbl EX2
Repeat...
While...
If...
Goto EX2
End
End
End
And this?
Goto EX3
Repeat...
While...
If...
Lbl EX3
End
End
End

Hmm, shouldn't it be spelled 'numbar' in the screenshot?
Elsewise, nice job!

And as I climbed up the barren hill, I saw a massive battleground scattered with the corpses of a hundred thousand coders, and a single maniacal lobster towering above them all...
Woah! - I better get out of h

You could just take your number, inflate it by multiplying it by 128 or something, then divide by 100, multiply by 314, then finally de-inflate by dividing by 128.
N*128*314/199/128->N

867: You sleep with your calculator under your pillow just in case somebody tries to kidnap it.
878: Instead of listening to an ipod, you stick headphones into your calculator instead.

My name is Michael_Lee, and it's because... erm... my name is Michael Lee. Not very creative, but it's a common name (pseudo-anonymity) and it functions.
I actually wanted my name to be 'Deflect', because I already have an account by that name on other forums, but somebody had already taken it on this one. So I considered, and decided that "Goddamnit - I'm going to be coding programs and making things happen, and I will feel no shame associating myself with my future achievements!"
Well, something like that, anyways.

It was because I just finished reading a part of it for school. I guess I was just dwelling on it a little.

Aww... :c
When I saw the title of the thread, I was planning on writing a whole essay based off of Dante's Inferno describing hell...

*Gasp* - could this be the genesis of a flame war? I better nip it in the bud.
This is for the FIRST robotics competition.
I was informed of two choices - Java or C (maybe C++? One of the C's)
I have no experience in Java - but the team (which I just joined this year) is reusing the bulk of the program from last year, which was written in Java (because one of the seniors last year knew Java).
I would love to use Python, but I have no idea how to get a python environment working. I had to go to a presentation this Saturday just to learn how to get Java/C++ running.
I don't care much about the detriments of Java, especially because I don't have any viable alternative to present and because I'm not experienced+eloquent enough to communicate the difference well.
In conclusion, thanks Graphmastur and nemo - I'll be sure to check out those guides.

I like the idea of having best graphics/programs, etc, but poty wouldn't be a good idea if ticalc is doing it - I think we should have more different categories to distinguish the two)
(Sudden ideas: most obfuscated/bizarrely written program (that still functions without bugs) and best plotline (for RPGs).
I think trying to nominate the most helpful person would be a bit complicated to do. With so many forum members, it would be tricky to carry out in a manner that is both fair and won't unduly offend anyone. I think that the respect system we have in place is a good (if rough) indicator as to people who are helpful. Of course, if somebody got a really clever idea and managed to carry this out right, it could be fun.
Not sure what 'revelation programmer' means.

Cool! Thanks for working on this!

Salutations!
I recently joined a robotics club at school, and joined the programming team. However, as it turns out, the robot will NOT be programmed with either Axe or TI-Basic (blasphemy!) and will be programmed in Java instead.
So my questions to anybody who knows Java is:
0] Can anybody suggest a good guide/resource?
1] What are some common 'gotchas' that might trip me up, especially given that I'm used to coding calculators?
2] What exactly is a class? And what does private/public/static/etc... mean?

For me, I code to learn. If my program is well-liked, fine, but my own desire for perfectionism comes first. I like to learn new things with each program I make. For example, minesweeper taught me about interrupts, manipulating free ram spaces, grayscale, etc.
