TI Z80 / Re: Multitab 83+ & Chemitab 83+

Yeah, I tend to (over)use a lot of conditionals in my programs...

As for the greyscale, I eagerly await to see what you come up with.

I've heard of "thirded", but my spellchecker doesn't recognize that as an actual word...

You could always try using Google, maybe you can find something of that sort.

Or maybe they just hire those types of people.

Maybe, but I think TI was just being a jerk and didn't respond.
TI isn't one single person, but an entity. Whomever received the message was the one being the jerk, not TI as a whole.
Of course, that's presuming TI isn't training its employees to be jerks.

What's the BSD license (the link doesn't explain this)?

...it might make it harder for future customers to trust them, should a lot of word to mouth happen outside the Internet.
To be brutally and bluntly honest, the average person in the United States doesn't care about what OS their calculators have.


As for the contest, I have a theory--maybe an employee of TI ran the contest without permission.

The paint on the buttons are pretty resilient.
'Sides, on my first calc, I colored all the buttons with a black permament marker.

How big is this program. I spent like five minutes scrolling through it looking for that Pause.
I know the feeling. I went through the same thing when I was writing the program originally. Anyways, to answer your question:
How large is it on-calc by the way?
4177 of whatever unit of measurement the calc uses for memory--which is better than what I was expecting it to be.

144
I can't even get that far in it, because of the ERR:SYNTAX.
It doesn't like the M' part.

145
They all should, this code is based off of Chemitab 83+

doesn't mean that they will work, though.

I think I can make a smaller program than what you've all come up with for me (if you remove the "fluff" I added to make it into a "proper" program)...whether or not it actually works though, I don't know yet, I haven't tried this out on my calc yet. Also, it's set up with the assumption that you have already set your mode to DEGREE.

Code: ("prgmDMS2D") [Select]
:Lbl A
:Input "DMS=1, DEC=2", N
:If N=1:Then
:ClrHome
:Prompt D,M,S
:Disp DºM'S''
:Pause
:Goto B
:End
:If N=2:Then
:ClrHome
:Prompt N
:Disp N▶DMS
:Pause
:Goto B
:End
:If N≠1
:If N≠2
:Then
:ClrHome
:Disp "TRY AGAIN!"
:Pause
:Goto A
:End
:Lbl B
:ClrHome
:Input "PRESS 1 TO REPEAT", X
:If X=1:Then
:Goto A
:End
:If X≠1:Then
:Stop


edit: Okay it doesn't work. Keeps getting ERR:SYNTAX on the DMS to DEC section of the code.

Not only is it possible, it's built into TIOS.
Can you tell I don't have an owner's manual for my calculator? xD

That would be an idea, as long as they're not too high either (so it won't disrupts the member info display)...
I was planning on having the new images be the same size as the default images, anyways.


...and that they matches the default forum theme well.
So no using neon bright yellow for the male symbol, huh?

* holmes221b wasn't able to start a new thread for this (school connection isn't allowing me to start new topics anywhere on Omnimaga)

So today in Precalculus II, we started learning about angles and their measure (that's practically the actual title of the section). During that time, I came up with two different ideas for new programs to code:
-a program to convert radians to degrees, minutes, seconds as well as convert degrees, minutes, seconds to radians
-a program to convert decimals to degrees, minutes, seconds as well as convert degrees, minutes, seconds to decimals.

My question is this: Is it possible to create a program to do the latter? The reason I ask this is because in my textbook it mentions that to convert decimals to degrees, you have to change the calculator's mode to get the correct answer.

Couldn't you just have copy/pasted it? ???

That said that convo made my day XD
I actually did that, but I had to edit it so that it was clear who said what (I also changed my nick from the one I was using at that time to my forum name to simplify things as well).
