Friday, 13th...
« on: November 10, 2014, 09:07:11 am »
Hello guys, yesterday I was asked a very important question : "When will the next Friday, 13th be ? How many times will it occur next year ?"
I didn't know the answer, I didn't have any calendar near me, but I had my calculator...

So, there it is, FRIDAY 13 FINDER !
How it works :
  • Launch it  ;D
  • Enter today's date :
    • Select the number to change
    • Press Enter
    • Enter the new value
  • Select "Confirm"
  • Scroll the list with the left and right keys, hit Enter to validate
  • Press any key
  • Press any key to skip to next month, or Clear to quit.
And that's pretty much everything about it !

One known bug : when editing a value on the date screen, the display isn't updated, but internally it is.

Features to implement soon :
  • Limiting the day value as the months do
  • Adding an "Auto Scan" mode which only displays the affected months
Files coming tomorrow !

Yes, they are taken into account. Both rules are respected :
Quote from: Wikipedia
Leap years are years that can :
  • either be divided by 4 but not by 100 ;
  • either be divided by 400.

It doesn't have a super graphical interface, but it is 1970 bytes large :P

Lol actually as simple as it might be, this program is a very fun idea. It might be handy sometimes for me when I want to figure out how many days left I have before some satanic entity turns me into a lobster. ;D

Lol nice one.

Also does this use the clock functions on the 84+ ? There's a day of week function built in.

No, it is only meant to be used in the 21th century, because calculators did not exist past that point (unless, it is what I think) :P

No, because it uses assembly, I didn't use this function.
Maybe it is possible, but it currently is quite fast (about half a second to scan a whole month), and I don't think using this feature will speed up the program :/

But, you gave me an idea :
When the calculator implements these time functions, the day isn't asked to.
Will require two programs, though.

NOTICE : I am currently working on a mini-RPG engine for my PUZZLE MASTER program, so this program is in limbo, but shall be back soon !
