Is it possible to make calc programs written in c, or in other languages, besides assembly. More percise programs that will run on ti-89's or higher.
Thanks

Yes. Look into TIGCC (google it) for a compiler.

I downloaded the program but how do you get compiled programs to work on my calculator? When I compile it it creates some files like a "blank" file and an "O" file.
Thanks

Are you using the TIGCC IDE?

dark_omen · Sep 18th, 2006, 9:06 PM

Yeah, when I try running it, it said I need the VTI (Virtual TI) so I got that to test them, but that didn't work. It did compile it though, but I gave me files that I have no idea what to do with (see last post).
Thanks

It should have produced a .89 file or something with a similar extension.

Graphic Casios are cooler - you can write your programs directly on the calculator itself in BASIC. It has its con though - people keep asking me how to do things.

you can write your own programs in BASIC in the TI's. The problem with that is only geeks do that instead of searching the massive directory on Texas instrument's main site for their math test cheating purposes....Go Tetris!

Yeah, I can write the program in BASIC on the calculator, but that's a pain cause it takes forever, and they go a little slower. I would make them in asm but i have no idea how to do that.

And after I compiled the program (one of the test programs btw) they only things that were there were the "O" file and a "blank" file ( ? ). And I the file format for the TI-89 is something like .89z, or .80z something like that.

Is there another alternative to the TIGCC or do you think it would be better to learn ASM and do it in that?

I have a graphic Casio. That's not BASIC, that's a scourge on humanity. It's evil in a bucket.
