Title: Axe in Wikipedia
Post by: Ashbad on April 02, 2011, 01:17:43 pm

whilst it still lacks it's own page, I think I made a good start today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-84_Plus_series#Axe_Parser_Language

^-^ What do you guys think?

EDIT: and yes I made it :P

Nice! I'm surprised there isn't a spot for Hybrid Basic though.

I think someone should make a subsection for that under TI-BASIC.

I guess it's our job to do all of these things, as the page for the 84+ seems quite bare right now :~

I think you should remove the 'solely'. I know he's doing it alone, but people like Runer helped with optimizations.

I also added a few stuff in the end (last paragraph) concerning Assembly VS Axe.

Nice, I think it definitively deserves to be referenced, considering so many people use it online for development.

As an update for people who don't watch the IRC, we're going to do a pretty big overhaul of the entire section about languages.

And Ashbad, you have 2222 posts O.O

Ah ok sounds good. :)

Well, just finished a lot of changes. The main programming sections have been moved to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-83_series#Programming (since they apply to all calculators of the TI-83 Plus series, not just the 84s), and a short paragraph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-84_Plus_series#Programming) was placed where the sections used to be. It links back to the section on the 83 page.

So, what do you think? :)

EDIT: Whoo, +12² :D

Seems fine to me so far. I think it describes the languages well. I would have added BBC Basic and C, but unfortunately their popularity is not high enough to be mentionned I think. On Omni about half of the programmers use Axe and Omni has like half of the entire community activity, so I guess it's as notable as the other languages.

Finally! I was going to mention the absence of Axe on Wikipedia eventually, but I never got around to it.

I like all the new information that was added.

I'm not particularly good at writing, so I'm not really one to talk, but I kind of think that there's way too much detailed information in just the first introductory section, and too little information in all of the actual sections.  Perhaps information should be shifted around a little bit?

We definitely need to elaborate on the actual languages, and I think there are many people here willing to do it. Go for it! :D
