Hello everyone! I'm a game developer with nearly a decade of experience now, and I've been trying to branch out to different programming languages such as C++. It's nice to meet you all!

I have been a Ti83/Ti84 fanatic for years. I love the challenge of programming z80 directly on the calculator through AsmPrgm/AsmComp()/Asm(). It is such a pure architecture and a great way to teach others about computer science. I am currently working in meatspace with a few guys who are psyched about learning. Most of the programs I have done aren't really worth sharing. For instance, during COVID, I challenged myself to sit and build a Tetris clone with only the 28 day docs and the z80 instruction set/hex codes printed out, and hand compiled all of it, typing it into my Ti84 Plus SE as I went just for the challenge. Miracle: it worked! But I want to take this passion and network a little bit, maybe find a way to contribute to some projects.

*kind of starstruck about Kerm still being active here!*

Welcome to Cemetech, spaceboy! Hand-writing z80 assembly is a great way to understand the basics of computer architecture and computer science (although once you understand it and have proven you can do it, I believe in switching to the easier ways to do things with the computer-side tools that exist). I'm sure your contributions to existing projects, or new projects you want to start yourself, will be welcome: if you haven't already, take a look at our Your Projects subforum and our recent Projects of the Month news articles.

And I'm very glad to still be active here!

Thanks for the welcome. Can you recommend an assembler program (!=app) that works on ti83P/it84P? Is there a section dedicated to on-calc toolchain?
Can't wait to get a little more involved!

Don't learn assembly programming on calc, use a computer. If you want to understand the concepts of assembly to give you more of a background, and still have close to the same performance, I would recommend learning the Axe Parser.

I'm ThatOneGuy.
...Hi, I guess. As of now, I'm mostly a consumer of others' programs since I don't know hardly any Asm yet and I'm not too great at C, but I'm trying to learn both. I'm decent at Basic and can understand C well enough to sometimes debug other programs.
Yep, that's me.

Welcome to the community and keep up the practice. A great way to learn is to take apart other people's programs and even edit them to fit your needs(just don't publish an edited version without permission).

Hello! I've mostly been on the outskirts of the calculator programming communities, but I've always found it interesting. I'm not new to programming, and I've used x86 ASM a little bit before for DOS and my own projects, but I've never had any experience in other architectures. So I'm mostly just trying to get familiar with eZ80 and the TI-84+CE. I also have a TI-Nspire CX II that supports Ndless, but I haven't messed around on that as much as the TI-84+CE. I just like the simplicity and familiarity of it, I guess.

Welcome to Cemetech, incon, and we look forward to supporting you on the TI-84 Plus CE projects that you attempt! Let us know if you have any questions on setting up and using the C toolchain for the CE, and be sure to share any projects you attempt in the Your Projects subforum.

hiiii (edit: I don't really know what else to write so sorry if I came off as a bot)

Welcome to Cemetech, and thanks for making that edit. What brings you here? Anything we can help with?

Hello! Came here from Planète Casio. Been programming a long time (x86, 6502, esoteric, mainframe, baremetal embedded, C, Python, etc). Also a long time Linux devotee. Started programming calculators in 1995 (TI-82), then the HP-48GX and CFX-9800G through college, and a thrifted HP 41CX a few years later. Got back into it all a couple years ago when I was digging through my calculator collection for a graphing calc my kid could use in high school classes, which ended up being the CFX-9800G, soon replaced with an imported Graph 75+. So my recent work has all been on Casio calculators.

I still enjoy the older calculators a lot and the programs I write tend to skew toward older hardware. Recently picked up an fx-7000G which has been a lot of fun. The Casio fx-9860G Slim is my absolute favorite. Fortunately, with gint/fxSDK, I can write Casio add-in's that are compatible with both the Slim and my fx-CG50.

My current project focus is Duvet, a Casio S-SHT/Spreadsheet alternative.

Happy to be here!

Wow you've covered a lot of the range over a lot of years, welcome to Cemetech!

Checking out Duvet and it looks really nice

Hello, I've been a lurker here for a while, and I finally decided to create an account.

I've been messing around with calculator programming for a while, mostly TI-84+CE and Nspire.
I wrote a few interesting BASIC programs back in the day, but lost most of them due to RAM resets.
More recently, I've been using the C toolchain.

I also do plenty of computer programming, mainly in c++ and rust.

Welcome to (posting on) Cemetech, xavenna! What kinds of programs have you been writing with the C toolchain, and what do you focus on PC-software-wise? Don't hesitate to post your projects, calculator, computer, and otherwise, in the Your Projects subforum.

Hello, I'm a high school student who's interested in making TI-84+ CE utility programs. I've done some amount of programming before (mostly in high-level languages), but I'm unfortunately a bit in over my head right now in the process of working with hooks. I hope to be able to post my projects soon (if I can ever get them to work)!
