Pretty soon I'm going to be less busy than I have been recently, which means I will have more time to work on projects. I've noticed that I have so many ideas for projects that I realistically will not be able to finish all of them, so I have to prioritize them somehow. One criterion I am using to decide what projects to work on is community interest, as there is not much point in making a program if nobody will use it. In order to determine community interest, I have decided to do a poll of sorts. Reply with which projects you would be most interested in seeing and why.

A. USB serial driver for the CE: This would allow the CE to communicate with a wide variety of devices. Right now it only works with pure CDC (basically just Arduino), but I would like to have it support more chips, including FTDIs.

B. Tanks! CE: A clone of the Wii Play game. Currently mostly functional besides AI and graphics.

C. ICE tweaks: Small improvements to ICE and the editor hooks. Currently I'm thinking about making Det( statements display as the actual function name, adding a shortcut to compile from the BASIC editor, adding floating point functions, and user defined functions with returns and arguments.

D. Custom OS's for the CE: Overwrite the part of the boot code that does OS validation. A custom OS would allow you to do all sorts of stuff.

E. Interrupt handling: Would require a custom OS to work. Basically, I would just change the OS so that every time an interrupt occurs, it calls every function on a user-definable list. This might be useful for USB functions, which are supposed to happen asynchronously.

F. Other USB projects. Things like MIDI or HID.

G. A compiled language for the CE. Would feature a type system of some kind.

H. Emulation of a monochrome calc on a CE. This one is probably too ambitious for me right now, but I'm including it anyway because why not.

I. Arcade game port: Maybe Galaga or Dig Dug?

J. 3D printing from a CE: My DaVinci printer is compatible with my serial driver, so I might be able to print a CE model using a CE. This would basically just be regurgitating gcode, I'm not porting a slicer.

Nice! That's quite a few projects. I'm interested to see you finish Tanks, first and foremost.

My other favorites that I would like to see are H and I. H is definitely ambitious, but it would be an incredible accomplishment if you were to do it.

Cool projects! I also am interested in Tanks. Would it be possible to add the ability to play against a human over the link port?

Project A looks very interesting as well. Would it be possible to build an adapter to adapt the USB port on the CE to a minijack that takes advantage of this driver (if it would need a driver like this at all)? This idea might fall under F though.

I would be awesome. Galaga would be awesome to have on a calculator, but I would also love to see one of my personal favorites, Wizard of Wor, ported to a calc.

You mean USB? CE's don't have link ports
If so, then maybe if a working USB serial driver/ communications thing gets made, which hasn't been done as of now

Yeah that's what I mean. I'm just so used to referring to the minijacks on the older calcs as link ports and I figured since the CE only had USB it wouldn't make a difference.

D sounds most interesting to me.

About J, I was wondering if my LG SP60NB50 (Slim Portable DVD Writer) would also work with a CE, even though the CE doesn't look like a decent power source.

I'd like you to focus on finishing A first, after that though F then H then J would be the next ones. F because my friend and I want to do a project with MIDI and H and J because those sound really cool!

I completely missed H. That would be amazing to do at some point. Emulation of the 84+SE would be amazing because it would open up a large number of assembly programs that would otherwise be incompatible. The only possible problem I could foresee is the size of the emulator and files used in and by the emulator.

I look forward to all that you make!
