Glad to see this come out ^^

AutoCalc isn't perfect, and a lot of non-standard or complex calculations don't work. The readme of the main engine specifies that if AutoCalc is having trouble with a calculation, try separating it into several pieces.

It says in the readme that as long as I give credit to him, I can use his programs as I want.

Ok... but where are these credits in your mod ?
You also destroyed all the Documentation related to Autocalc, either it has been remoded, but I think that you could let it in the zip with a link directed to the original program, no ?

(mhmm it might be a good idea to include the entire original readme renamed to original_readme.txt or with a small notice about what Silver changed with the program indeed)

Also I am not sure but I think I remember reading something somewhere saying that the larger the amount of sub-programs included in a BASIC Builder APP, the slower it gets. That might explain the slow downs.

Also does Basic Builder APPs run on OS 2.53MP?

The credits appear when you exit the app (by this I mean typing QUIT).
I also wanted to include the original program in a seperate folder inside the zip file, but I completely forgot. I'll try to do this as soon as possible. Done. I also added the credits into the readme file.

I've tried on my TI-84+SE, and the app-version is much slower than the program-version.
(I'd say 1.5 to 2 times slower...)

But it may be because it's executed in ROM instead of RAM ?

I don't know exactly how BasicBuilder functions, so it's maybe due to that. But I think that a part of the slowdown is because my version first interprets the input, so as to call the Symbolic functions when needed, and only after analyzing the inputted string does it decide to launch the CAS engine.
I checked, the part that interprets the input is almost instant. The problem must be in how Basic Builder works.
@DJ Omnimaga: If you're right about that a large number of programs slows down BasicBuilder, then I'll try to reduce them. The next version will be with less programs.

Also does Basic Builder APPs run on OS 2.53MP?

Yes they do. But don't try running my app with the latest beta of DCS being present on the calc: it won't work.

*bump*

Update:
-some bug fixes
-cleans up correctly after itself
-should be faster (if having less programs to package solves the problem)
-includes original version of AutoCalc
-added credits in readme

Thank you very much.
I'm going to try...


Do you have a link ?

Also I am not sure but I think I remember reading something somewhere saying that the larger the amount of sub-programs included in a BASIC Builder APP, the slower it gets. That might explain the slow downs.

I'd use only one program, because in basic builder each time a subprogram is run it does something kind of like this:
Code in the App says:
:prgmA
App runs something kind of like this (In the example I'm using XCopy by Iambian):
:0->X
:"prgmA
:Asm(prgmXCOPY
:prgmXTEMP001

You can see how that's slower.  That's basically what Basicbuilder does.

I just tried it.  Excellent program!  I'm pretty sure this is going on my calc for Pre-Calc next year.  Thanks!
