Mlc On Classpad

Posted 29 September 2006 - 04:59 PM

I recently heard about MLC, and I was thinking about building a MLC interpreter for ClassPad. As the language seems to be very simple, it should not be hard to implement. Grayscales are another problem too but I think it can be fixed. But is it really a good idea?

It's a programming language made do work on TI 83, 86 and AFX, especially for games. It's should run very fast, and implement grayscales. As it uses only short integers and not double, it should run much faster than Lua (if I make a correct interpreter)

If it's neither impossible nor useless, I'll make it.

If Huhn_m read this, would: you!

Hey, I told "It should not be hard to implement", not "It MUST not be hard to implement"
Anyway, someone told me that huhn_m had some difficulties with strings... for example

Just read some posts in the MLC sub-forum

hey guys

You could have told me about this. I'm not a regular visitor of this sub-forum (yet).

Actually it should be easier to implement than on the AFX since the CP has way more power. It should be possible to write the whole thing in C without loosing the speed.

However, I'm still fighting with the (IMO) difficult way to programm the CP.
If I figure it out I'll implement MLC2 for it up to the level the AFX version is supposed to be on in december (conditional statements and keyboard support will be added soon). I will then open an extra topic over in the MLC2 forum for the CP version.


If anyone can point me to an EASY guide to programming the CP for C++ noobs (with quite some experiences in ASM, C, Pascal/Delphi) it would be really nice. The explanation in the SDK seems quite difficult to me and it will take me some time to get used to the way this device is programmed. I would much prefer to programm for it in ASM but I guess there is no SDK for doing this.

Anyways, thanks

You can program in ASM, but it's different. If I remember, the ASM for AFX is A68k, while the CP ASM is SH-3. And there is no simpler documentation than the one provided in the CPSDK.
