[Open Source User Interface] TextUI 1.0
« on: April 21, 2011, 10:39:24 am »
I've been thinking about it for quite a while, and I finally dare posting a topic about it! What it? I'm talking about TextUI, one of the first OpenSource User Interface available for all TI-Basic programs!

My idea is to give to beginners and more advanced coders an easy way to have their programs' user interface. It's a friendly one, with no Menu( command, no GRAPH command (slow to display)!

What is TextUI?

TextUI is an Open Source User Interface which you can use freely in your programs, instead of Menu( commands. The only condition is to use it in an Open Source prog.


If some people are interested in helping me to get this project real (it's abstract for the moment), just PM me  ;)

rayquaza, this seems like an interesting project, but perhaps I should reminds you that there's already a GUI Library for TI-Basic. It's the Doors CS Library.

However, this seems cool because it should work in every shell and even without a shell. Good Luck!

@Scout, yeah, Installing DCS to run a BASIC program always seemed like a little bit of overkill for me.

So, rayquaza59, would this be a BASIC subprogram, an ASM routine, a parser hook...what? I'm always interested in code that helps people code better code (and yes, this entire sentence is an excuse to write that :P ). TI-BASIC especially, because it hits a huge audience of fledgling coders.

I think it's an actual BASIC/ASM program that you use on the side to do this stuff ;)

This sounds cool.  I can't wait to hear updates, and if it is in assembly, or if you get stuck be sure to post the code so we can help you out if you need the help :)

well, so a few things to tell you!!!

1) since I'm not an ASM coder, it's not in ASM.... which means you can use it on TI-82s
2) it's a bit the same one as the one in SimpleCS.....
3) it'll have pre-installed getkeys (kind of universal keys actually)
4) it'll be some code to copy-paste and edit to adapt to your own progs

so you can now imagine how it will look like :P

If it's like SimpleCS, I really liked the UI :D
