TIGCC Tools Suite 1.00 BETA7 / VTI-Logger 1.1 After a series of beta releases version 1.00 of the TIGCC Tools Suite seems to be finished. BETA7 can be seen as release candidate. No more stuff will be added, but I will wait just one more week for bug reports.You can find the new beta version here: http://tict.ticalc.org/beta/tt100b7.zip Thanx to Hai Pho Truong (novaxius@yahoo.ca) I can also release a new version (v 1.1) of the VTI-Logger. If you haven't had a look on the tiny debugging tool yet, download it at http://tict.ticalc.org/downloads/vtilog11.zip. It is quite useful if you need real debug logs from your own TI programs.

TI-Chess v3.60 BETA available ... I have fixed a critical bug which may crash your calculator if you run TI-Chess under low-memory conditions. Additionally I have restructured the sourcecode completely. Now each file gets compiled separately which gives the benefits that the compiler optimization can be set differently for each part of the program (for example: optimized for speed for the engine).Check the Projects page to download the new version.

TICT Beta Tests started ... Due to the new TIGCC version 0.93 and much help from others (thanx to all contributors!!!) it was possible to assemble new versions of TI-Chess and the TIGCC Tools Suite. Note that the available versions are still beta and shouldn't be distributed. To test them I'll need your help!I don't think that TI-Chess would need much testing, but the TIGCC Tools Suite features some new functionalities (like exepack support for kernel-dependent programs) and a new ttstart version which should be tested carefully. Just read the included file IMPORTANT.txt in the TIGCC Tools Suite Beta Release for more details. Please use (as usual) the TIGCC Programming Forum on our Messageboard to report bugs or to report that it works ;-) .... THANX!! |

A new Game called TI-TimeWaste and different Updates First of all here is a list of links to the new or updated stuff:
But there is one program I want to mention separately: I have "finished" a game which was laying around now on my HD for over 6 months. It's called TimeWaste and it's a kind of a "Five-In-A-Row" Solitaire Game. IMHO it's very addictive if you are "susceptible" to this type of game. The objective of the game is to make horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines of at least 5 identical pieces. Whenever you form a line, all the pieces in the line will disappear and you will get points. To make a move, tap the piece you want to move and then tap the desired destination. The piece can be moved to any empty place reachable by a series of horizontal and vertical steps. Each time you make a move that does not produce a line, 3 new pieces will appear.
You may note, that TI-Timewaste is not a 1.00 version. I'm still looking for good weighted level settings and would be pleased if you could help me on that topic. BTW: The included readme file states how to modify the level settings on the calc easily. Last but not least: Starting on monday I'm on vacations for 2-3 weeks, so don't expect any replies to mails from my side in this period of time (of course I will answer them when I'll come back). |

TIGCC Tools Suite v0.99 and other Updates ... Due to a summer influenza I got some time to work a little bit on the TIGCC Tools Suite which is now available as version 0.99. You can download it at http://www.ticalc.org/pub/win/tt.zip. Read the included history.txt file for what's new.Additionally my friend Joey suggested a nice improvement for the eBook-Reader: You can press now 'x' twice to bookmark a position in slot 0 (shortcut for pressing 'x'and afterwards '0'). The new version of the ebook reader is available at http://www.ticalc.org/pub/89/asm/programs/ebkrdr.zip. The sourcecode of this new ebook reader version is included in the TIGCC Tools Suite v0.99. Well and there is one more update: TI-Chess v3.30. It's only a minor update, but nevertheless useful. Due to the new TIGCC compiler and some minor source code modifications the size of the exepacked file gots reduced about more than 1kB (around 2kB less memory necessary during runtime). TI-Chess v3.30 can be downloaded at http://www.ticalc.org/pub/89/asm/games/tichess.zip and the sourcecode is available at http://www.ticalc.org/pub/89/asm/source/tichess.zip. |

ExtGraph Library - Version 0.80 I have added a few more functions to the ExtGraph library. Now it's more or less complete. What's new ? (examine the included docs for details)
You can download the new version (0.80) here. AGAIN: Note that the library is still in beta stage and I haven't found enough time to test it carefully. Please use the MessageBoard to report any problems or bugs. And, Of course, the best way to report a bug is to post a small program which reproduces it. BTW: Wow, more than 60000 hits - looks like there are still some visitors out there ;-) |

ExtGraph Library Well, I have stated in the last post that I have resigned and that's true. Nevertheless whenever I'll find a little bit time for TI stuff (now and in the future) and if it is worth to release it, you can find it here.This time it's a library for TIGCC called ExtGraph. The ExtGraph Library is an AddOn to the TIGCCLIB. It's a compile-time library (used functions are fetched from the library during the linking stage) and it contains various useful graphics related routines which are missing in the TIGCCLIB or modified routines which are implemented with maximum speed in mind. Actually the ExtGraph Library consists of 59 additionally functions and 14 additionally macros. You can download the latest version (0.76) here. Note that the library is still in beta stage and I haven't found enough time to test it carefully. Please use the MessageBoard to report any problems or bugs. And, Of course, the best way to report a bug is to post a small program which reproduces it. |
