Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming
Post by: Radical Pi on January 10, 2006, 11:27:00 am

Instead of cluttering the forum with several single-question topics, ask it here. I don't expect this to be a hot topic, but anything is welcome.

I'll start with a question of my own:
How do you do 4-way homescreen scrolling usingc1-->

CODE

ec1For(A,1,8 Output(A,1,sub(Str1,???,16 Endc2

ec2I just can't fugure out the right combination of row and column variables.

Please don't double post just to make sure someone will see your message.  As for solving your problem, here's what I came up with.

c1-->

CODE

ec1ClrHome 1->H 26->W ->X ->Y For(A,1,8) Output(A,1,sub(Str1,W(A-1)+X+1,16)) Endc2

ec2

Where H is the number of rows your map is going to have and W is the width of each row, X is the horiz. offset and Y is the vert. offset.

Hope that helps. :)

Sorry about the double post.
That only goes left and right. Is there a way to work Y into the equation?

Next question: is it possible for text to wrap on the graphscreen?

I'm completly guessing at this but I think if you change the c1-->

CODE

ec1Output(A,1,sub(Str1,W(A-1)+X+1,16))c2

ec2 to c1

-->

CODE

ec1Output(A,1,sub(Str1,W((A+Y)-1)+X+1,16))c2

ec2 that it should work.  Let me know if it does or not.  

As for the 2nd part, no there is no way to get text to wrap on the graph screen.  You will need to write your own text wrapping routine or else check ticalc.org...maybe there's one there.

Don't worry about the dp..its fine :D

does output do that?  I thought Disp didn't

I fixed the scrolling (I think)

c1-->

CODE

ec1For(A,1,8 R+A-1->B Text(-54125+1,8A-8,0,sub(Str1,64B-64+C,16 Endc2

ec2

R=row
C=column
64=level width

m, I believe CDI was gonna make a tutorial for me to post on that, but I am unsure...

Can any ASMers make a program that wraps large font text with the Text( command? Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: Liazon on January 17, 2006, 12:05:00 pm um... correct me if I'm wrong, but puts definitely wraps automatically, and I'm not sure about vputs. Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: CDI on January 17, 2006, 12:09:00 pm no, Text( does NOT wrap, nether does Disp Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: tenniskid493 on January 17, 2006, 12:22:00 pm he's talking about asm commands puts and vputs...those are the asm commands for putting text onto the graphscreen.  I'm not sure about whether or not they wrap text.  I would say try it but if it doens't work that could be one big calc. crash.  Better off reading the documentation on those two calls. Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: CDI on January 17, 2006, 12:28:00 pm oops, read that wrong... most code commands I know people put in quotes (not BASIC ones because everyone knows those) Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: dragon__lance on January 17, 2006, 02:20:00 pm um, wat u could do is create maybe a helper program with Timendus's API, there are several good routines in there that can do wat u want ;) Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: Liazon on January 18, 2006, 10:07:00 am And API's sprite and greyscale routines are probably the fastest in existence at the moment.  Or so I believe. Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: Radical Pi on January 18, 2006, 10:09:00 am I was looking for a routine that writes normal 6*8 text to the graphscreen and wraps it. Graphscreen because there I can overlap text to make the cool sprites in my War of Mmruda game. I was pretty sure there were some flags that could toggle wether font wraps, and its size. Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: CDI on January 18, 2006, 10:33:00 am hmm... I want a greyscale graphscreen text option for my own readons :P Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: Radical Pi on January 18, 2006, 10:36:00 am I don't mean greyscale. Just two screens full of text that are ORed to the graphscreen. Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: CDI on January 19, 2006, 08:05:00 am I knew that, but this is calc programming so I stated my want Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: Liazon on January 19, 2006, 08:28:00 am Did Desolate have GS text? Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: CDI on January 19, 2006, 09:31:00 am yep, and I loved it Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 19, 2006, 02:19:00 pm in basic it woulkd be kinda hard, but possible, the text would have to be stored in advance in  two pics Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: dragon__lance on January 19, 2006, 03:14:00 pm wat u can do is create a textdecoder like mine or spellshapers. in the string, when u want to go to the next line, just have a token like "-" represent it. and yeah, i think grayscale text is impracticle with BASIC, just too much work ;) Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: kalan_vod on January 19, 2006, 04:57:00 pm QuoteBegin-dragon__lance+19 January 2006, 21:14--> QUOTE (dragon__lance @ 19 January 2006, 21:14) wat u can do is create a textdecoder like mine or spellshapers. in the string, when u want to go to the next line, just have a token like "-" represent it. and yeah, i think grayscale text is impracticle with BASIC, just too much work ;)  Shame! Don't declare the possible impossible! I think a routine could be added in xlib though which reads a string and does the placing on some pics which you would have recall. Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: CDI on January 20, 2006, 06:22:00 am hmm... I could do it with HS text if manages properly... or custom text? Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: kalan_vod on January 20, 2006, 11:16:00 am Well it would be flashy if done with home screen, but it would take less space. Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: CDI on January 20, 2006, 11:18:00 am nono, the size text... otherwise known as BIG text Title: [TI-BASIC] Calculator Programming Post by: kalan_vod on January 20, 2006, 11:19:00 am Oh, well if you are going to use 8x8 blocks to use the big text I would just make my own.
