From what you promote, this should be made into a different ver. "cart" in Classic99. I don't think this break old programs?

I am astounded that people find ways to "fight" again and again, about trying to learn and get better at TI BASIC. It is boring trying to sort stuff, to keep learning! I am thinking that there might have to be active moderation when it ends up like this, again and again. So much garb to read! I get bored and "why bother!" This is now, "Another tread not worth using time on!"

Halden (Norway), some 40 km from my place. 20.05.2022

I know I have read about this thing many many years ago, probably in a magazine. They were talking about just this to add one more character. But I just remember it as quick as this was NOT an issue I had. But I remember this as it was "weird" to obsess about ONE character ? So I know there is a trick to doing this. So there is a way, but that is all I know ?

So this is a way to make a Basic/Ex. Basic program "huge"?

OK, I will try it that way, I just like to make it full screen, then it will always be the same. Made a movie clip of Parsec that I run in the background when I am on webcam.

lol, Whatever works ? I am fine with it! But let's use Classic99 as a starting point, what can be done within that "frame" with Basic/Ex. Basic? With a modern PC, I can produce a lot of data fast and poff I am into the roof of the TI. So a way to use Basic/Ex. Basic and make a big program, just cutting up into parts that can be loaded at request. Just the intro for "Sea of TIhves"... smacks right into the roof! So I have left it. I think it is hard to tell you what I want as I don't know the limitations that much, I would leave it to the Gurus to find the best and easiest way to make it possible to make a "huge" program and then cut it into parts. I think that if there was a way to make a program load up as it is needed, I think the games could be even cooler. For MY part, an easy way to make a "huge" program, how it is done... I don't know! I just know what I wish for, not how it is made. I play with Basic and Ex. basic so for my sake, my knowledge is limited ?

How long to next Zip "dump"?

Anyone that could translate it?

I have commented on this before, that you promote your RBX... where it is not right nor needed. People in the thread comment on you jumping in with RXB and there is pointed out that this has been going on for a long time. And in the end, senior_falcon points out SPECIFICALLY why RXB is not asked for, or work in this case. But you promote RXB... anyway! What will it take for you to be a little humble? But as tmop69 is saying, "How many programs were developed last year using RXB? Zero?" The big question is... "WHY do you think there is so little interest in your program? I think most people will agree that you have made a great programming lango. So... if it is so great, WHY are people not interacting with it? Don't you see that you're shooting yourself in the foot? I understand that RXB is a great software to use to program in. Not that there would be THAT much to learn, but... My main reason for NOT wanting to learn RXB - YOU! I know Basic and EX. Basic, I prefer to use them as I know them. The old TI manual for Basic and Ex. Basic is so much easier to use and figure out stuff when I am stuck. So my advice would be to make a manual in the same "spirit" and ease of use. Use A LOT of time on that and only that. Be humble and figure out what people need and want. Use the time you would use to spam, make a manual, make games, make videos and be just a little humble and respectful to the community. The saddest thing would be if you keep making RXB and no one is using it! Then spam your tread with RXB and how good it is! Then you might get people to start to use RXB. And... MORE important... you can have made the best programming lango for the TI. But... Spamming and getting into people's faces, makes people NOT want to use "the greatest program ever made". YOU yourself are the biggest hindrance for me investing time in RXB. The more you put out RXB here and EVERYWHERE else, I get as much de-motivating from trying it out. I don't care if RXB is back forward or upside-down compatible. I want to have fun and make my program. So, do not put YOUR stuff on me. If I ASK, sure then it is OK. And I will be sure to ask inside your RXB tread! Promise you that! You might be right ALL the time and at the same time, you're so so wrong! I am programming in Basic and EX. Basic and I have the same issue as the tread is about... to make a program that is too big and dos not fit inside the limited memory. BUT... Then AGAIN I have to read about RXB! I am now again 2*more NOT wanting to have ANYTHING to do with RXB! I want to learn how to make a program that is way too big, and how to make it work. ONE of the big issues for me is the limitation of memory. If I get a great solution to make a "huge" program and STILL get it to run on the TI, I would make some of the games I have in mind. At least try it! (HINT!!! Here you have a possibility, take that need and make it fit inside RXB... then I might have to get over that I don't like your spamming ways!) The saddest thing about this is that this makes people pissed and the HOLE community suffers from it. PLEASE, Rich Gilbertson, be a little humble and listen to what people say. Keep updating and making RXB great and post in your thread about it. I go there and look at your YT vids. It makes me so sad that a big part of this thread is now about you and RXB! But do read and if you can help, then do so. But more important... keep improving upon RXB compared to what people NEED! You could make one RXB that is JUST how you want it and then a ver. that could be compiled and that is using all the modern tools. To do what is ASKED for in this tread. So... I am reading and hoping for solutions to this "too big program" issue! I am hoping the Gurus will point to something, or make software to fix this issue.

I am setting up to stream on Twitch... And I would like to show off as much as possible for new people so they can do it themself. BUT... If you look at the picture, the menu listing for C99 is to the left... Is it possible to make it JUST as far left as the screen itself, and not the window? I think the picture explains it. You only see Help. Also is it OK to put up your link, for everyone to see? I guess it is, but I ask to be sure. Not that I think there will be a storm. PS! Where is the cool demo?

!

lol... so bad... kinda did not see DISK ? hahahaha just the number ? that's bad... Yes... well... lets just forget this... nothing to see here! New mistake will soon follow, hahahahaha

OK... So I am trying to play TOD... BUT... I was just trying. How do I load the game in Classic99? Did the press 1... Do I need to link to a audio file?

And YET... here we are 2022, talking TI! So even if a lot of mistakes was made... Why do we still love this computer. Is it JUST because it was our first computer? For me, I could be creative and make my own stuff on it. And yet it was my first. But I also had a Amiga500 with "Deluxe Paint" and I LOOOOVED that program. But I go back to the TI. Amiga was super cool and letting me have so much more creative freedom. I think there is something magical with the TI. The company and there mistakes... not important to me. But that shiny metal box with a keyboard... so cool! Why do you guys love and keep on using and having fun with the TI?

How hard/easy would it be to take the TI and fix that? I guess that a LOT of stuff would change. Basic would not be Basic and so on. I guess there would have to be a change of all the software. Would it be interesting to brainstorm this, only in theory, to imagine what COULD be. I am very curious about what would have been possible to do, at that time to make it a better computer. Maybe a interpreter could be made to translate everting into the "imaginary new TI" hardware. I guess there could be many different ver. of a "dream team TI". Dependent on what you would like to do. How difficult would it to make a tread and imagine the "right" TI. I would have loved to see what the smart ones would imagine. Not to make it, but more as a "what could have been". I would love to see what the different minds would imagine up. I am so impresses by the knowledge I see here, be it software or hardware. I think that this is one of the strong point of this group, A LOT OF Einstein's live her ? hehehehe I get to be a little smarter every day by being "infected" by your greatness hehehe

I think that a modern motherboard in the TI form-factory would be great. To replace the old motherboard world be great. Fabrice Montupet has proven that it is possible, with his TIny. Only he made it fit ATX form-factory. But it would be cool to make it fit inside the old TI. And since it is a modern motherboard... a ARM CPU that could be changed to make new ver. of a the TI CPU. And use some modern chips to emulate RAM and stuff. Or... what about putting a Raspberry Pi as the main unite and build a motherboard around that? But... I love the idea to "max out" the TI motherboard! And there is one thing I think is important and that is to have a "harddrive" (SSD) so that you can load all kinds of programs on it. Or more correct... ALL programs ? And a fan to cool it down... I can dream, not make such a thing. But I can buy it if it come true!

Was reading about speech synth, your concept could fit a modern speech synth box. Using a ARM CPU and then integrate all of the speech synth possibility's in one box. I was also thinking about PixelPedant's YT about text-to-speech synth song maker. With modern parts, all this could be integrated into a modern speech synth and it might be a great upgrade. Not saying you should, but more a question, "Would your use of a modern ARM CPU, fit this kind of a project?" Looking forward to more progress on your StrangeCart!

Made me think of the limitation of the TI:

Test

If I do all the graphic, anyone how will take on the rest? I make the board, grid, tokens, set numbers and make it really pretty. Could also set up the text and all so that all the visual parts are done. (Started to make a test pic)

I am thinking that the game should get re-worked. Not this scrolling board. But a static board. Would look much better.

Don't tell anyone... I was trying to run it in Ex B

Escher (code listing) So... since there are code listing... why not try Escher, but it is buggy! Maybe EVEN if the code is to found, typed in... maybe it is still buggy? Escher is not working as it should. So more eyes are needed on this...
