[Prizm] PRGM2color, improve Casio Basic programs

[Purobaz]

PRGM2color is an adaptation on Prizm, of this projet begun by Pierrotll.

PRGM2 starts a timer, and launches a Casio Basic program.
The timer checks the value of 'F' variable. If it's non-null, the timer calls the function corresponding to the 'F' value. It allows to use fast functions in a basic program.

Not to stop the timer can cause the calc freeze when you exit PRGM2. Keys [AC] or [MENU], or the function 15 stop the timer (so you can't use [MENU] in your own program).


Download here, the .zip contains PRGM2.g3a, its sources and two examples (DRAWING and SERIAL).

This is a beta, with maybe some bugs. I need help to improve graphic functions.

Oh, fascinating. If and when I ever get around to writing a Doors CS port for the Prizm, I think I definitely need to include a hook for this sort of thing for Prizm BASIC programs. Of course, that also depends on me discovering how to run Prizm BASIC programs from C...

great!
@Kerm maybe you can do a small shell to rename, move, create files/folders?

Yes, such a shell, even if very simple, would be really appreciated. Something small, preferably done in a way people can easily mess with the source to extend it and add new functionality.

Not possible? Why don't you think that a full shell is possible? Or should I say, what features of a shell do you not think are possible? C/ASM program loading? BASIC program execution? File management?

BASIC program execution from the storage memory, according to what I hear on DCS.

I'm going to find out about DCS.

That lib is promising. If you add more graphical capabilities, sprites, tilemapping and rectangles would be more than welcome. Also what would be cool is if it had the same thing most newer TI-84+ libs got: Allowing to copy a program file from the storage memory to the RAM as well as deleting programs from the RAM (such as that copied program). This would allow even larger BASIC games without having to split them in chapters.

Now if only I had the motivation to make this true D: :

DJ_O: Why not write it in Prizm C? Our current PrizmSDK and routines could handle that sort of tilemapping easily.

I personally do not have any intention to learn any new language within the next few years except maybe BASIC-based ones editable on-calc. I guess if someone decides to create this game remake, then he could do it in C, though.

Fair enough. Anyway, I like the idea that we'll be building up a hybrid BASIC library of sorts for the Prizm, and I hope we can all suggest possible functions to be included. Hopefully it will end up being a bit less kludgy than the hybrid libraries we have for the TIs, not that the libraries aren't great.

(Not quite on topic, but just wondering from the above post) Are we able to write files and execute them on the prizm? Such as a compiled language that makes addins on the Prizm.

I meant make an on-calc compiler for the prizm. Instead of taking the source and compiling it to an addin on a PC, you would compile it to a .g3a on the prizm. I don't mean have a program to launch, just a program to make legitimate addins.

See, I was wondering if an Addin that compiles basic programs to an Addin (BBC Basic?) would be easier and more beneficial than an addin that watches basic code execute. I only say this as the Prizm's basic interpreter is slow.
