Title: xLIB On-Calc Guide?
Post by: BCTurk on February 06, 2006, 05:49:00 pm
Would anyone be interested in a xLIB syntax guide for the calculator?  I think that this would be very helpful if you code on calc.  The guide would also be interacive (aka, it would have examples, and you could store whatever you input while viewing the guide to either a string or Ans).

I don't really see it being nessicary, but it wouldn't hurt if you find yourself going to the computer and looking at the readme.

I think simply something that displays the syntax for functions would be enough. For actually learning in detail how everything works, you should initially read the readme, then only use the on-calc help as reference.

Alright, thanks for the good feedback guys, instead of just saying "Yay!  New Project! Yay!".  It's more helpful to hear what you really think on the subject.

Well i didn't mean to discourage you from doing so, as it would be helpfull to have just the syntax of each funtion.

No, no, I'm not discouraged.  I was saying that I like more critism then "Yes, that's cool.", ect.  I will probably throw something together by friday.

Cool, by then xLIB should be released on ticalc! Very good idea, and useful. I assume and hope your going to use the graphscreen? You might be able to have all the info spread out on 2 screens.

Well, now that I look at this more, I'm thinking that there will be two version, one that will essencially be an on-calc version of the readme, and one that will just have syntax.  I might try to contact tr1p and see if he would want to release the just syntax one w/ xLib, I dunno.

Well good luck with trying to get tr1p to add it, as he is tired of working on xLIB. But I think if would be fine in basic.

Right, just add it to the zip he releases, nothing more.

Did you get a chance to work on this yet?

I sent a unfinished copy to tr1p, he said he would work with it.  Havn't heard anything back from him since, so I don't know for sure.  If he doesn't do anything, I'll finish it, but atm I'm not going to deal with it, little busy right now.

I am sure http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/384/38446.html is you? But anyways it looks great! I would like to show you a few optimizations if you wouldn't mind. Help the size and what not :Dbiggrin.gif.

Actually not me.  Oh well, I guess someone else beat me to it.  Not that it matters much, as I was pretty much not going to finish mine.  Guess tr1p wasn't going to do anything with it either.

I'm sorry :(sad.gif, If it helps I will not optimize it! Hehe, the code looked really elementary.....
