Symbols
If this idea has already been made, just flame me, but I think a good app to have would be one that has a menu (like a second option for catalogue) that has the full character map of the clac (including all symbols, numbers, and letters), and (if possible) allows them in your calc withought it being replaced with a "?"...
Would that be possible?

There was such a program a looong time ago by Bill Nagel... Really simple program that would output any character given a value in X... I can't find it at the moment... Aah, what the heck, I'll make it for you:
Download
Try this with it:
Wooo, it outputs all chars!
Code: Select all
#include "source/includes/header.inc"
ld a,'X'
call getVar
bcall(_putc)
ret
getVar:
push af
bcall(_zeroop1)
ld hl,op1+1
pop af
ld (hl),a
bcall(_rclvarsym)
bcall(_convop1)
ret
.end
END
Try this with it:
Code: Select all
For(X,0,255
Send(9prgmZPUTC / Asm(prgmZPUTC
End
Though I kinda had done that... There's a 83 and a 83+ version in the zip file...Timendus wrote:Code: Select all

Edit: Playing with the includes from Mallard... Who wants the Ti-73 version?

Well ehm Bill Nagel's idea behind this was that you could store your text in a list instead of a string, and then you'd call a second Basic program to display the text for you with zputc...
And I'm not sure it is possible to have all characters in a string or in the Basic editor. But I'll go give it a shot for you...
Edit: Nope, that doesn't seem to be possible. All characters other than the capitals are interpreted as tokens... And it doesn't look pretty
I'm afraid you'll have to do it Bill's way:
Will output "Hello"... or whatever you want depending on the contents of L1 or course...

PROGRAM:TEST
{72,101,108,108,111}->L1
prgmOUTPUT
Stop
PROGRAM:OUTPUT
For(A,1,dim(L1
L1(A->X
Send(9prgmZPUTC / Asm(prgmZPUTC
End
Return
Well, since I am a Ti-83 programmer, I know virtually nothing of flash appsMerthsoft wrote:I figured as much, but that's kinda slow and sloppy, that's why an app would be nice, mybe work how the early omnicalc did, and paste it into the program...
But I don't really think it would be that easy... I'll let someone who can give an actual reason behind that feeling do the talking now
Apart from that, I could update the zputc thingy to output the list by itself (and not just one char), or use a string with hexcodes as input..? If anyone is interested/has ideas, just give a shout.
