I would like to know how many people here have used hooks before. I used them in the calculator prank I did (homescreen and some key hooks). But I am sure many of don't know what a hook is. A hook is a useful piece of code somewhere in the calculators memory that is called when certain events trigger, for example a raw key hook (using the official name...) is a piece of code called after B_CALL(getkey) is called on the ti os. There 25different types of hooks I'm aware of. If you wish to know more check ths:

| same. I know a fair bit of the theory/terminology involved with Asm programming, but I haven't taken the time to learn the language yet. |

No idea of what a hook is, even though I have some basic ASM knowledge.
I still don't get what a hook is. Why doesn't Sigma talk about them in ASMin28? |

You should add the option "I have a general knowledge of hooks, but have never used them before."

Isn't a hook something that is set that triggers something if certain conditions are met? Like keyhooks that Omnicalc and MirageOS use? Triggered when a key is pressed?
I know no ASM, but I know quite a bit of the terms and whatnot. Could someone tell me what "jp $FFFF" means? I think it means "go away" as an insult (see Signs you're addicted to TI if you don't get it) |

jp is the jump instruction (like Goto in Basic), $FFFF is an address. The code will basically crash your calculator.

[post="77971"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Hooks have the very specific use of causing an effect on the TIOS after the program has finished running. There's not really a lot of things you need them for, and I believe the reason Sigma didn't talk about them is the same as the reason he didn't explain what every single 83+ rom call does.

Ah, I see. That joke is __that__ much funnier now. Thanks.
Ever think of putting those signs of addiction into a book? That would be one way to get public attention... even if no one reads it... |

Then how do you "USE" hooks and what outputs are generated?
I know tr1p1ea had to use parser hooks for xlib, but that's about it. I don't know how it works. Can someone enlighten me?

| The xlib hook basically checks if the function being called is real( and has more than one argument. If so, then the hook calls xlib to parse accordingly, otherwise it hands off the parsing to the TIOS. |

| I originally learned of hooks back when cirrus was still up. Keyhooks were so fun. Then I learned of others. That's when I started making evil calc pranks. Hooks can easily be used for malicious and fun pranks. Especially when imbeded into regular games. |

Hey! I'm a newbie at asm but I'm pretty good at TI Basic. I wrote a math assistant program and then converted it to a app via the basicbuilder application for windows. Long story short, I have a app.
I would like to run the app when a key sequence is pressed, similar to MirageOS and its [ON]+[APPS] hook.
HOW THE HECK DO I DO THIS! I've been looking around all over the internet for hooks and how to use them and such... I have a small understanding of them but whenever I get sample code for a hook, it never works. I don't know enough about asm to debug the program, so I look for a new example. (I have a compiler and all that [I made a "Hello World!" program so I know it works]) Could anyone perhaps modify a keyhook program so that [ON]+[PROGRAM] starts an app? Idk if its useful but I'm using a 84+SE and my app name is AAAMathy.
If anything, point me in the right direction so I can make this keyhook. THANKS! |
