senior_falcon Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Here's a first stab at utilizing the 80 column mode of the F18A with Extended BASIC. The text is a short story by Mark Twain. At one point there is a short pause when the text is being displayed - that is in the program, not the result of a garbage collection. I will post the files tomorrow. They are ready to go, but I realized there are no docs for them. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Nice work! It is great that it switches back to normal graphics mode when you 'break'. I would have imagined XB would have been left in a fit. Do you think this will get added to XB256? -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 very nice. I can see this getting use.. Oh yeah! I can see old text games like Hammurabi being modernized. Heck, I'll probably be dusting off my seldom used programming skills now when I get some time. Besides just displaying text, if I can input numeric and text data while in 80 column mode I'll be a happy camper for sure. Who said dreams don't eventually come true! Thanks Senior_Falcon!

senior_falcon Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 It always feels good when I can impress someone of your stature, Tursi! I've attached the files that I promised yesterday. Here's how to run the demo program, assuming they are on disk 6: From the XB command line: CALL INIT CALL LOAD("DSK6.80TEST.OBJ") CALL LINK("T80ON") OLD DSK6.MYWATCH RUN The assembly language subroutines are: CALL LINK("T80ON") turns on the interrupt driven monitor so that the 80 column text mode will be usable. Should be done from immediate mode, not from a program CALL LINK("T80") Changes graphics mode to the 80 column text mode. The first time you call this it will load character definitions and clear the screen. CALL LINK("G32") Changes the graphics mode to the 32 column mode CALL LINK("CLS80") Clears the 80 column screen CALL LINK("TCOLOR",foreground,background) Changes the color in the T80 mode to the specified foreground and background CALL LINK("DISPLY",row,col,string or number) Displays a string or number at the specified row and column. If the row is off the bottom of the screen the screen will scroll until the text can be printed. Example: CALL LINK("DISPLY",25,1,"hello world") will scroll once and then print "hello world" at 1,24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can display the screen with T80 or G32 as desired. I've done as much as I'm going to on this. The file 80TEST.TXT has the source code for the above, and hopefully enough comments to be understandable. Feel free to add or modify as desired. The major thing needed to make this a useful package is a way to input text and numbers when in the T80 mode.

RXB Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well the TI Mode you mean the Edit Mode? Well you could use the RXB command CALL USER(devicepath) Example: CALL USER('SCS1.VOLUME.FILENAME) or CALL USER("PHONEY DSR DEVICE") In this video I used RXB CALL USER("RS232") to talk to another TI computer thru the RS232 Cable and control the other computer like in Edit Mode in XB. CALL USER works just like you are typing into XB but it runs from a file or from a source. Thus you could make a DSR in your code and RXB CALL USER could run from that. Type in your code then run CALL USER("F80 DSR") and it would install and run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior_falcon Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 What's needed is an assembly equivalent for ACCEPT AT or INPUT. Everything works as usual in XB but with the addition of the T80 mode. You can type in programs normally or paste them in using Classic99, which is how the text for the Mark Twain story got loaded. That's way too much typing for me! Anyone interested can try it out by following the steps in post #9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've seen several good reasons for the big box in the last month or so--Dungeons of Asgard, the Don't Mess With Texas Demo, the progress on several WIP compiled/XB256 games, Sometimes99er's recent Demo and Squary too, and Stuart's Experimental LBL Assembler/Disassembler module. There is lots of new stuff out there, and it is all good. This 80-column adaptation for the F18A is really good too, but it is not the only great thing out there. I am happy for each and every new bit of TI software--and I thank EVERY TI programmer for what they've done to help the community! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's way too much typing for me! Anyone interested can try it out by following the steps in post #9. I wrote this long ago for one of my projects (1995 based on one of the dated comments) and as far as I know it functions as documented. A few V9938 highlight/blink calls are commented out so it should be F18A compatible. The keyscan routine has something weird in place, possibly for the Geneve. Anyway... if someone wants to pursue an ACCEPT AT routine to go with your T80 code, this might be a starting point. The routine would need to be modified to use XB parameters in place of the DATA values/pointers. **DOSIN_S * BL @ACCEPTAT * DATA 1 cursor row (0-23 or 0-25) * DATA 1 cursor column (0-79) * DATA 10 Maximum Length (1-80) should NOT exceed last column! * a NEGATIVE length will cause the existing data in * the field to not be cleared. * PLEASE NOTE that invalid characters present in the * field are not screen out.

Omega-TI Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Not really, I've been concentrating and playing on my 'small footprint' system lately. I've not used the P-Box in a while. I'll need disk drive access to use it, so it'll be necessary then. A lot of the stuff I've used lately comes in FR99 format, and is used with Matts 32K. For the recent Mega Demo I used an UberGROM cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a Geneve MDOS routine essentially equivalent to the TI-99/4A console’s SCNKEY (at >000E)? ...lee Not quite. I named the routine "KSKAN" so that I can load either a TI- or Geneve-specific direct keyscan object code during program linkage. Why? I like to split routines and utilities into separate source files, assemble them, and then use REF/DEF to call them. This lets me recycle subroutines across multiple programs. It also keeps main program assembly time to a minimum for larger projects. If I recall correctly, KSKAN returns the key in R6 and returns >FF if no key was pressed. I'd have to look at the source to determine any other particulars such as debounce characteristics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior_falcon Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I've been doing some work with the 80 column mode. The results are in the video above and in the attached zipped folder. RUN "DSK1T80XB" will start it up. The docs are in a PDF. This has only been tested with Classic99. You need to enable the 80 column hack. If this does not work with the F18A then I will need to know a little more in order to modify it so it does. Omega, here is what you have been wishing for! (See your post #10) Forgot to mention that occasionally the XB program starts with a bogus error message. Just RUN it again and it should go the second time.
