Cool! This'll definitely be helpful for those who are having trouble understanding. :)
Great job!

Cool! I'll have to try this, it looks awesome :)

It doesn't work for me. And as you said, it'd be more like just having high contrast and the hues associated w/that than anything else.
And yes, all monochrome/grayscale games feature color! :P

that's what +(S>=T) and related are for. They pretty much skip over already-generated numbers.

Trapped for the TI-Nspire and TI-89 / Re: Block Dude Nspire
« on: July 21, 2010, 11:59:34 am »
Oh, wow, how did I never hear about Trapped? This is going on my calc right now :)
I don't care whether or not there's scrolling. It's good either way IMO

That's another way to look at it.
And for those who don't know, the totient function returns how many natural number less than another natural number are relatively prime to it (i.e. no common factors) 1 is considered relatively prime to all natural numbers.

Yes, but while they supported the old ones they'd have to release two copies of each OS, one for each key.
So either they'd drop the old one immediately (probably not) or they'd release two of each OS (possible, but I'm sure TI doesn't want to put their customers through figuring out which revision they have :P)
We're probably safe.
Thanks for the explanation, graphmastur! I do wonder if we could find a better way...

I know of the normal, inferior, red kind, don't worry :P

Well, it is colors. Sort of. :P
Realize that there is no way to get the LCD to display more than two colors anyway, because there's no way to assign more than one bit to a pixel. But it is colors, in a messed-up and possibly LCD-damaging way. (It's somewhat like the contrast, IIRC)

A better way is like this: (I'll explain it in a moment, and note I'm storing the data at L1 rather than Str1)
Code: [Select]
rand^10+48->T->{L1
rand^9+48->S+(S>=T)->R->{L1+1
rand^8+48->S+(S>=T)->S+(S>=R)->{L1+2
0->{L1+3
It uses three variables for temporary purposes (R, S, and T) and the result is stored at L1
If you must use Str1, (you shouldn't have to) replace every L1 with Str1, add Zeros(4)->Str1 somewhere in your code, and remove the last line.

According to the official Toshiba documentation, it changes how much power is sent to the LCD. The reason you might not want to mess around with them is the potentially harmful effect on the LCD b/c of different power settings.
As for me, sending $10 to port $10 made the LCD turn off, or at least made the contrast extremely low, and until I did a full RAM Reset (b/c I couldn't figure out how to fix it), I had to have the contrast on 9 to see anything.

The Axe Parser Project / Re: Axiom SDK For Developers
« on: July 21, 2010, 10:31:35 am »
Axioms are written in assembly, the file extension for which is .z80 or .asm
You use an assembler and possibly another tool to assemble them and turn them into .8xp files, which can be sent to your calc.
If you don't know ASM and want to learn, TI-83+ Assembly in 28 Days or Hot_Dog's ASM for the absolute beginner are recommended
Edit: http://future_history.freehostia.com/Files/Resources/ASM/ASMin28Days/lesson/toc.html is a link for the first :)
