So far I have nothing constructive to add. Oh, I finally got some of my software back, most of you never heard about it. I'm resurecting my Grand Canyon Chasers project and it was renamed to Mordor Hunting Grounds (I named it that before I even heard of the movies). Well, I'm at a predicament. I'm replacing The Voyager (from Star Trek) with either a B2 Bomber, or the SR-71 Blackbird. I want to know which you guys think is the coolest and why. |

A few notes: I have to double check the site for a higher polygon F-117, those are not scaled, I need to change the smoothing on the F-117 (stupid error).

Of course that doesn't mean there can't be interpreters...

Total Posts: 134 | true as that may be, i don't think you grasped what i was trying to say. although asm is in the calc's language and runs on a calculator, i believe that one who programs for it should not be called a calculator programmer persay. after all, programming on a computer and then putting it on a calculator doesn't really qualify as working with your calculator, as BASIC does. My point here is that the people who master BASIC, not ASM, are the true calculator masterminds since they actually work hand-in-hand with the equipment. |

Total Posts: 623 | Your original posting said that you believe BASIC is the only true calculator language.
However, the language of the calculator is the language of its processor. BASIC is not the language of the processor.
Though I do follow you on working with the hardware, but not necessarily agree...

Total Posts: 1051 | Bull! "work hand-in-hand" How do you think ASM and C were first brought to the public. People went digging into the OS and learned what made it tick. You can change any little setting though ASM, something BASIC can't. Thats more like hand-in-hand.
Oh, and BASIC is converted to TI's ROM calls which are made in [very bad] ASM.

Total Posts: 134 | sure you can do more with assembly, and assembly is better, but you need a computer to use them. instead of being a calculator programmer, all asm and C programmers are doing is computer programming. sure, somebody had to "dig in to the OS" at first, but you even need a separate computer for that. as said before, BASIC programmers are the real experts with actually using a calculator... |

Total Posts: 1051 | Man Phil-e, your making no logical sense to more than one person. The only reason why you can program BASIC on the calc is because TI made an interface to do so. Guess what there is also an interface to program ASM too. You can find it at calc.org or click here. It the first one. Also, if TI didin't provide the Flash App for BASIC, you would then be forced to program BASIC in GraphLink. Oh, and besides the header information, one can program BASIC in NotePad. In other words, you don't even need a calc to program BASIC. |

Also, you really do NEED to know about the calc in order to program it in asm. |
