well, I think we should have a splash screen in basic so our programs/we can be associated with the group. I already made a few little programs that we might be able to use. Anyway. should we have a standard? Or just whatever anyone wants, but a few that are premade that they can request? In time the group will become more recognized, and things programs that say UTI/United TI will a) advertise the group, and  be recignized as a sign of quality. |

yes, that would be good... like have a small asm prgm to draw it or a basic prog to put at the top of ur normal one...
it(the calc) needs it so u can do this :
Code:
:Asm(12543234C9
and have it do that code! that would rock! |

The ninjas want to know if you have been to DS.
Well, that would be nice. However, it's not like that, and a UTI subroutine might make it seem a little cluttered. Also, I think we should have a UTI subfile format. not that it really makes sense or whatever, but I have recently named some of my subs with things likd Test(theta)dat. More on the subject, I think it should be basic so it can be directly coppied into the programs. I have a few basic things I'll try to post later.
Edit: I DID have a few, but I can't find them.

| We can't program NIMBUS into every program we make. Or did you mean the nimbus splash screen? We COULD do a splash that looks like the nimbus one, but that is just a cloud thing or whatever, and a cloud doesen't represent the group. That reminds me, did we ever decide on a logo? putting the logo in the screen would be nice. |

| All you have to do is write your program in basic, no shell assembly, or ion, and it will be compatible with NimbusOS. |

Just make the last line of each program
DISP "--UNITEDTI.ORG--
It is simple, sweet, and shows the URL where people can find more similar games.
It need not ninja kick one in the face to be a logo.

Oh, is that what he meant? It's hard to tell. Either way it doesen't make sense. And um, back to the logo...do we have one?
Alt+???
:D
edit:well, yeah...that would work...

W/e, it would just be nice to have a single bit of text (such as the united ti url) displayed at the end of each united ti program. The only thing you do not want to do is cause the user to have to perform some extra keypress or wait a certain amount of time, as the declaration of a program being a united ti program would then become a dreaded and annoying thing.

| Yeah, it would suck to have a splash screen; though, it would be cool for authors to include a URL ot unitedti somewhere. |

I use one of 3 splash screens at the beginning of all my programs, depending on what it is.
Window variables are set to:
*Xmin=0
*Xmax=94
*Ymin=-62
*Ymax=0
*CoordOff
*GridOff
*LabelOff
*ExprOff
This is for progams JACstudios actually makes:
Code:
:For(A,56,30,-1
:Text(A,30,"J
:Line(30,-A-6,32,-A-6,0
:End
:For(A,1,30
:Text(A,34,"A
:For(B,1,7
:End:End
:For(A,56,30,-1
:Text(A,38,"C
:Line(38,-A-6,40,-A-6,0
:End
:For(A,1,30
:Text(A,42,"s
:For(B,1,7
:End:End
:For(A,56,30,-1
:Text(A,45,"t
:Line(45,-A-6,46,-A-6,0
:End
:For(A,1,30
:Text(A,48,"u
:For(B,1,7
:End:End
:For(A,56,30,-1
:Text(A,52,"d
:Line(52,-A-6,54,-A-6,0
:End
:For(A,1,30
:Text(A,56,"i
:For(B,1,7
:End:End
:For(A,56,30,-1
:Text(A,58,"o
:Line(58,-A-6,60,-A-6,0
:End
:For(A,1,30
:Text(A,62,"s
:For(B,1,7
:End:End
:For(A,30,26,-1
:Text(A,30,"JACstudios
:Line(30,-A-6,63,-A-6,0
:End
:Text(32,32,"software
:For(A,1,500
:End
:ClrDraw
If UTI would like a splash screen, I will gladly make one for you. |

What if each UTI program called on an external program (maybe BASIC but preferable a nice animated/grayscale ASM prog) to draw the splash screen? Then the splash could be made nice and pretty and people could actually be enthusiastic about viewing it. Maybe even try and detect if the Splash Screen prog was on the calc before running it, and if it wasnt there just display a simple text URL.
There are some ninjas, and then there are other ninjas. Which are you?

I suppose if it was one Asm routine with a string for the prog name and creators that could work. Athough I would shy away from hard coding, because, well, um, that would mean an extra routine for each program. I doubt the community would appreciate that.
These ninjas are the more ninjas.

Maybe you could have an ASM prog distributed with every UTI download, and the prog would accept a parameter via string 1 or 4 or 9 or whatever, which would be the author text. Upon running, the asm prog would display United TI in bold and the united ti url, then fade out and put the author text up in grayscale then it would fade out and the prog would be done.
Ninja's pity the foolish ninjas who copy ninjas with more ninjas.

String10, in my opinion. Yes, 10, not 1 or 0. And no, that is not in binary.
The more Ninjas are the product of relationships between ninjas.

It really doesn't matter, as long as most programs won't use it...
Ninjas do not have sex, and if they do they use Yoshiama Kawasaki brand ultra-pleasure ribbed condoms.

Exactly. They don't usually use the other 246 strings.

Mine won't use it, that I know for sure, mostly because I don't feel like using multiple programs but also because 83+ asm doesn't work very well on an 83.
I'll just put something like:
ClrHome
Output(1,1,"Made by:
Output(2,1,"Arcane Wizard
Output(3,1,"Thanks to:
Output(4,1,"name1
Output(5,1,"name2
Output(6,1,"name3
Output(7,1,"----------------
Output(8,1,"--UnitedTI.org--
at the end of my programs.

Well, I was just thinking it would be neat to have the same splash for all programs, and have that splash be a cool grayscale-animated one. Simplicity works too, though. Is there a way to make Nimbus OS give special recognition to prorams "signed" and distributed via UTI? That would be cool. The signing process would just be the inclusion of a string of text in the program that is a signature of the program. Then you could include a special icon in Nimbus to designate a signed UTI prog.
The ninjas have changed their ways. They now practice abstinence and celibacy...
