Doors CS is built to be extremely user-friendly, using a mouse-based interface to appeal to users used to using computers who are frustrated by the infinite menus one must navigate on a TI calculator. On the opposite end of the user spectrum, it includes myriad keyboard shortcuts so that those who prefer to use a keyboard to a mouse can quickly and efficiently move through Doors CS. The Associated Program feature lets you click on any file, like game levels, documents, pictures, and songs, and have them automatically open with the correct viewer program. Doors CS 7.0 contains full libraries for xLIB, Celtic III, PicArc, Omnicalc, and the new DCSB Libs. Download Doors CS 7 today and experience the full power of your calculator! SAD Alpha 2.zip Seek and Destory Alpha 2 This version of S.A.D. allows you to preview the human race. You can select a ship, construct a building, check the progress of your buildings, and move across the map. Please do not try to place buildings on top of each other, and do not try to completely cover the map with buildings. Most importantly, I recommend testing this on an emulator. The game, for right now, requires 21 KB of memory and 4 app pages. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for any damage to your calculator. Controls ------------------------------ 2nd -- Displays the \"Construct Building\" Menu Alpha -- Displays the \"Select Ship\" Menu Mode -- Toggles the cursor on and off X_T_Theta_N -- Allows you to drive your ship. You can toggle this mode on and off with the same key. Enter -- Place a building after you choose where you want it placed Arrow Keys -- Move Soft Keys--Adjust the speed at which the map Scrolls Clear -- Exit a Menu, or exit the game entirely Hot Keys (For Menus) -- 2nd, Mode, Del, Alpha, X_T_Theta_N, Stat, Math, Apps, Pgrm ---------------------------------------------------------- TSM&MGen_v2.0.zip Matrix & Text Sprite Map Generator v2.0 Version 2.0 now has Vertical Spriting implemented along with all the other features. Version 1.1 now has a nice Menu to make navigation easier, and if you accidentally choose the wrong option, I added a Back button. :D Please post any thoughts, ideas, bugs, or just plain old "awesome" in the thread Matrix & Text Sprite Map Generator under the Your Projects thread. :D

The Cemetech Forums has been changing its appearance a bit. You might see nothing different at first glance, but if you take a minute to look more carefully, you'll notice some of the sub-forums that you're used to seeing are missing, and new ones in their stead. We've consolidated a few and renamed others. We've also introduced sub-sub-forums, including several under Member Features. Under Member Features you can find promising and regularly updated member projects. Another subforum, Other, Upcoming, and Defunct, holds sub-sub-fora and topics about Cemetech projects that have been shelved, aren't yet ready for prime-time, or are still in the chin-scratching phase.

The website is also getting a new skin for mobile and cell phone browsers. Over the next month, if you visit Cemetech on your mobile device you'll notice a mobile version of the site gradually evolving. Please visit the Cemetech6mobile development thread and share and suggestions, comments, or even mock-ups. We're trying to strike a good balance between small pages that load and render easily on even low-end devices, and maintaining the look-and-feel of the full-sized website.

In Kerm's constant pursuit of statistics, numbers, and graphs to quantify things like Cemetech activity, he has occasionally generated graphs of Cemetech posts per day since the inception of the current forum on Pi Day, 2005, but this process is somewhat time consuming. To save himself the trouble, and open the door for future stats-gathering, Kerm has created an automated PHP script that runs once per day and generates a snazzy graph of the posts per day from March 2005 to the present. It is embedded on a budding Site Statistics page which will eventually hold other numbers and graphs relevant to the site. Feel free to suggest any statistic or graph that should be generated or calculated that you think Cemetech members would find intriguing.

From the Desk of Kerm Martian
Finally, although they did not change enough to warrant a front-page mention, BinPac8x v1.3 has been updated to fix a rare bug, and mobiletunes has advanced to version 3.1, both thanks to the release of Doors CS 7.0 precisely a week ago. The former program allows cross-platform creation of TI-83+/84+/85/86 binaries from assembled object files, while the latter is a quadraphonic music player (with a converter that can turn MIDI files into MT3 songs) written for Doors CS. As a side-note for those keeping track, Doors CS 7 has quietly advanced to version 7.0.1 to tweak four minor, non-fatal issues that were found in the past week.

Don't forget that if it's 12:01am EDT (GMT-4) next Sunday, September 5th, 2010, you will have missed Cemetech Contest #7's deadline! Contest 7, a Doors CS-themed contest, challenges BASIC, ASM, and Axe programmers to create a program or game that takes advantage of the Doors CS features for that language, including headers and BASIC libraries for BASIC coders, and ASM features like the GUI system and AP system for ASM programmers. Entries will be graded by myself and Rivereye on the basis of originality, speed, size and use of Doors CS libraries. A first-place winner will be chosen from the ASM and the BASIC category, and an overall grand prize winner will be chosen from between those two winners.

The grand prize winner gets to choose between a unique Chameleon'd TI-73 converted into a TI-83+, the only TI-83+ in existence that can executed in RAM Bank 3 without crashing, donated courtesy of Brandon Wilson, and a TI-83+ Silver Edition, donated courtesy of Shaun "Merthsoft" McFall. The second- and third-place winners in each category will receive a USB power injector crafted by yours truly, which not only lets you plug standard USB devices like mice, keyboards, Bluetooth dongles, WiFi dongles, and more into your calculator, but injects more power than is provided by the calculator via a complex circuit and a 9V battery so high-current devices can be used.

So wrap up your entries, remember to add a readme and compress your files and readme in a zip (as well as mention which DCS versions you have tested under), and submit your entries before the deadline! Good luck to all the entrants, and feel free to post in this topic if you have any last-minute questions or points of clarification.

After a long summer of coding and debugging, Doors CS 7.0 has finally been released! This milestone comes three years since the last major release of Doors CS 6.0 in April 2007 and two years since the incremental release of Doors CS 6.2 in May 2008. Nine years since its humble beginnings as a crude BASIC shell, Doors CS 7.0 aims to bring a full set of features and rock-solid stability to users and coders alike. It supports MirageOS, Ion, Doors CS, and nostub BASIC and Assembly programs, and contains full support libraries for XLib, Celtic III, PicArc, (partially) Omnicalc, and the new DCSB Libs that let Doors CS coders use features like the DCS GUI. The HomeRun feature lets you execute any type of program, BASIC or ASM, archived or not, from the TI-OS homescreen. The Doors CS desktop lets you view your programs and folders, organize them into nested folders, cut, copy, rename, lock, archive, hide, and even edit programs, and change settings and options from the DCS Menu. Doors CS 7.0 adds more robust protection from data loss due to RAM Clears, including automatic restoration of the user's folder structure.

For ASM developers, Doors CS offers a full suite of features, adding the DCS GUI system, and Associated Program system that automatically opens files in their associated viewer/editor, and much more on top of a full complement of MirageOS and Ion-compatible libraries. BASIC programmers can take advantage of support for every popular BASIC library built directly into the shell. Full information about Doors CS can be found at http://dcs.cemetech.net, including a (very) exhaustive feature list and screenshots galore for your viewing pleasure.

Download Doors CS 7.0 today and unleash the full power of your graphing calculator!

Doors CS 7.0 Release Candidate (RC) 1 is here! This version is a super-stable, feature-rich, and nearly-complete build of the final Doors CS 7.0. Please test it thoroughly; if it passes everyone's tests, this is the final version that will be released on Wednesday, September 1st! The official description for this release:

Doors CS 7.0 is the ultimate shell and GUI for your TI graphing calculator. Run any BASIC or ASM program, including MirageOS, Ion, Doors CS, and nostub programs. Organize your programs into folders, edit program properties or programs directly from Doors CS, or use the HomeRun feature to run any program from the TI-OS homescreen. Doors CS is built to be extremely user-friendly, using a mouse-based interface to appeal to users used to using computers who are frustrated by the infinite menus one must navigate on a TI calculator. On the opposite end of the user spectrum, it includes myriad keyboard shortcuts so that those who prefer to use a keyboard to a mouse can quickly and efficiently move through Doors CS. Doors CS 7.0 contains full libraries for xLIB, Celtic III, PicArc, Omnicalc, and the new DCSB Libs; eliminate all your apps and replace them with Doors CS 7! This Release Candidate is a very stable, nearly-complete version of Doors CS 7.0.

A full listing of fixes and improvements over Doors CS 6.9 beta:

:: Myriad bug fixes and tweaks based on invaluable feedback from Cemetech members and Doors CS beta testers.
:: Addition of [ON][MODE] hook and multi-page scrolling feature.
:: Additional DCSB Lib features and bug-fixes.
:: Updated Doors CS 7 manual and SDK (both included in the zip below)

Again, please test this release for any and all bugs and weirdnesses. Please please also read the Manual for correctness, completeness, and clarity, and let me know what you think. If no issues are found, the next release will be Doors CS 7.0. If bugs are found, then a release candidate, Doors CS 7.0 RC 2, will be released before September 1 (ideally within a few days). Doors CS 7.0 will not be released until many testers give the RC a clean bill of health, so please test, test, test!
