Subject: 84CC - TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition Consortium
Posted: 19 Feb 2013 01:09:04 am (GMT -5)
Hello All,
Ive started a small initiative to look into the possibility of creating a set of standards for programming the upcoming TI-84+CSE calculator. Its called the "TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition Consortium" or 84CC for short.
I was thinking that it could be of benefit to the community to discuss possible guidelines or standards for programming in ASM (which would also influence BASIC libs and shells and such).
Some ideas to throw around:
Standard ASM header for shells (with room for shell specific features if required)
Standard and community accepted safeRAM areas (if possible)
Standard configurations for graphics (sets of modes (possibly even community defined) that routines should target ie; 4-bit, 8-bit user pal, half-resolution etc) *hypothetical and dependent on more information
Standards for hooks to allow easy chaining etc
Just to get the ball rolling.
Either way i was just wondering what anyone thinks? Is this an idea worth discussing at the very least?
