Hi!! My name is david and i have i suggestion.
TECMO SUPERBOWL(NES)!!!!!
i know nothing of making games but i'd sure like to
learn so i can try and make this game.
Can anyone tell me if there is a website dedicated
to explaining all that crazy jargon.
and if anyone would like to make this game before me
go ahead. I dont care who makes it just as long as i
can play it. i would really like to see this game on the
ti 89...HELP!!!

you'd probably reach a wider variety of programmers if you posted this on http://tict.ticalc.org in the suggestions forum.

actually, i suggest you first read the TICT 68K C tutorials and THEN ask this question. people at TICT forum will most likely be willing to answer various programing questions once you learn to program rather than write you a step by step instructions.
they actually have some nice tuts there and are really easy to follow even for beginners, btw how much 68K C do you know (if any) and do you have any programming experience in general?

about 68K C, i dont even know what that is can you please explain. But i do have some
programming experience. I make my own programs but ive never made
an acual game. i know how to create functions and small programms but
thats about it. thanks for replying.

You need a kernal on your calculator in order to run it. I'm partial to PreOS myself. Just install that, then enjoy Mario!

68K C is C but for thte 68K (TI) platform instead of x86 (IBM). It is a high level language, meaning that the actuall coding is far from that of machine code, or ASM in most cases. One main difference is that the TIGCC team was able to convert 68K C into moderately optimised ASM through there compiler, and then the binary(ies) are compiled. The estimated efficiency of 68K C to ASM is ~90%. You can find the compiler and IDE .here

Actually, the asm code is more than moderately optimized. The C programs compiled with TIGCC run very closely with asm programs.
What language do you program in bibby? If its something close to java script or even vb you should be able to learn 68K C quite easily. 68K is a much simplified version or original C so if you understand that and are good with computer logic you should do faily well. read the TICT tutorials first, then i suggest you download some game that includes its source and study it.

when you all make programs and games where do you make
them. on your calc or on the computer. cause i make
mine on the calc in the program editor. all the stuff
"Digital" said sounded like it is on the computer. as for
what language i program in, i use the one on the calc i dont
even know what its called(i'm pretty knew to programming). and
how do you make the programs uneditable. cause i cant
edit the tertris game i downloaded and i want to make my
programs like that, or will it only do it on ASM.
i can edit programs that dont say ASM but not the ones that say
it.

First off, you don't need to put spaces in your lines, it's easier to read if it goes all the way across the screen.

ASM must be on computer. The tetris you downloaded is probably ASM, so if you edit it, you'll see a lot of gibberish instead. What you're programming on the calculator is probably BASIC.

Try BASIC first, then move to ASM. You'd be surprised what BASIC can do for yah.

actually, there are some C program editors/compilers for your calc, though they don't produce very good code. there are asm ones too, but if you screw up your asm program there's a good chance you'll lose your data in a lock up or reset.

he is already programming in Basic CF.

bibby, go to ticalc.org then go to their program archive and then into windows section. find a program called TIGCC, its a C compiler for 68k platform. now go to tict.ticalc.org and go thru their programming tutorials. this should get you started on the subject.
