so, mirage had its own personal basic parser? wow! thumbs up for the attempt!

use mirage to hide/protect you basic progs, just dont run them from it! //answer to serveral questions in this thread

Unlike Mirage, hopefully WallsXP -- Ahem -- Maybe -- Ahem -- Android can put a good note into adm. wiggin (I believe) to make a good shell that supports basic shtuff

well, WallsXP and DragonOS will should have support for basic. we do a bcall(_parserinp) and the calc uses it's parser to run it like normal. apps (mirage and nimbus) cant do that...they have to make their own parser or add a homehook to run the app when the basic prog finishes, exit the app, run the prog, and wait for the hook to call the app again.

y wallsxp? y not dragonos? granted, i started programming it friday the 28 of november, and so far have not had any outside help yet.
besides.. which sounds more powerful: a brick wall or a 30 ft tall fire breathing dragon with razor sharp claws?

f you could find me a list that;d be great!

I haven't checked the whole catalog, but I have checked the entire prgm, draw, list, matrix, and math menus, plus some others I commonly use in Basic programming. The only three things I found that clear RAM are: Input, Prompt, and Goto (but not Label or Menu ) - all the others work fine. Some other issues are that 1) The first getKey in your program might have the value of 21 or 105 that you used to run the program and 2) Archive/Unarchive work about 2.5 times slower in Mirage.

Unfortunately, this doesn't help for SE users... after you decide to quit MirageOS, it turns off the calculator, then clears your RAM. This happens regardless of what's in the program. I can only hope Nimbus will come up with a way to fix this...

Why would you want to hide your programs if you won't run them from Mirage? You'll have to unhide them to run them normally. And locking is much easier through CalcSys.

*a dragon walks up from the shadows*
*the dragon digs a pit*
*then the dragon carefully lays WallsXP and a TI-83+ Graphing calculator inside*
*he fills the pit and solemly returns to the shadows, vowing to learn from WallsXP and be better*

barring accidents, dragons live forever. so if i have to put this dragon in a bubble, i will!

like nimbus, it will probably come out in stages. i rally dont know, but im shooting for sometime next summer. i dont work well with deadlines
the biggest thing will be file structure, as you will be able to nest folders as memory allows
the one pictured will tell you your battery status, if you want it. Smile
my final goal is to make it so you never have to use the tios at all.

They stay in your memory, just the program menu and the memory menu "can't find them"

actually, that isnt totally true...


Mirage(and other hiding programs) just subtract 40h from the first char of the name, so the ti-os says "Uh oh, that is invalid, better not show it."

I'm not an expert at this, but i'm almost positive you could- If you're talking about hidden from the program list, mirage does that and runs it. If not, then all you'd have to do is make a program that adds the characters back to the name or one that unhides it, runs, then hides it again.

adding the 40h back to the first char is the same thing as unhiding it :P

it could be run, but would need assembly made for it.
