Call me stupid, but how might one get their hands on Chasm?

Don't you mean "there"?

I just came up with another feature you could implement, perhaps an auto powerdown, if the calculator has been left idle for more than say eight minutes, that it will save, and power off.

The reason for this is I have been testing the old Chasm for a while and within four weeks I have had to change batteries twice, when usually they will run for three months or more, so I was thinking perhaps it was because the calc doesn't auto poweroff in Chasm.

if you decide to implement this feature, perhaps you could also make a two button shortcut for turning the calc of manually, when in Chasm, so it will save, turn off, and start up again in Chasm where you left it.

Btw. I'm looking forward to seeing your site!!!

That sounds like a feature I think will be good! I think i might try that. Thanks wrigely.

[MissingIntellect]

w00t!

[MissingIntellect]

Ah, I see this is the "old" Chasm.
*ahem* How might one become a tester for Chasm 2?

[Adm.Wiggin]

Those features sounded really good :P

I would have guessed that you would have already added them! Sheesh!

[Keith Pierce]

Lol, No but since the idea cam up i am doing it! So yeah lol

[MxK 18]

Would you happen to have a list of features somewhere? I don't want to post idea's because you most likely have already implemented them. You should make a round-up of features and post them!

[Keith Pierce]

Umm..............Just check through this part of the forum! Everything everyone mentioned i put in!

[MxK 18]

Very cool Oh, ya, I had 2 ideas / questions. Does chasm take text, then convert the text to hex (for bcalls mostly). Also, does it support all the includes and extra routines for each shell?

[Keith Pierce]

Yes it does include most (if not all) the includes.

No Chasm 2 doesnt not convert text to Hex, but maybe in the near future it will!

[wrigley]

waiting, waiting, waiting ...

[Keith Pierce]

LOL, ur waiting? Ur not the only one! I am waiting to see me finish it.

[MxK 18]

Well, by text to hex, I meant include files. My bad

EDIT : this is for the downpower wirlelgy was talking about. it also conserves power using halt. I how this makes ur batters last longer wirgley


this is striat form my source and i think its a optomized as posible
This waits for a keypress.
Chasm editor uses getcsc (i thik) so this should work fine


_KeyPause:
ld de,2000d

_KeyPause2:
ei
halt ;slowdown for awhile
bcall(_getcsc) ;doesn't use de
or a
di
ret nz

dec de
ld a,d
or e

jr nz,_KeyPause2

;turn off calc to conserve batt

ld a,1
out (3),a
ei ;enable
halt
res onInterrupt, (iy+ onFlags)
jr _KeyPause

;end
it puases for about 7 seconds so if u want more increase de right after _Keypuse

[wrigley]

Thanks for the routine rebel.socom :D

btw. you sure do have funny ways of spelling my name

[wrigley]

Hey Keith, is this project at all still alive? You haven't posted anything here in over a month?
