MLC fx-9860

MLC (Multi-Platform Language for Calculators) is a powerful alternative to programming BASIC on graphing calculators.
UPDATE: Version 0.6 has now been released. MLC fx-9860 can be downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.n...ckage_id=242738
I'm planning to port MLC fx-9860 to Windows so we can test out our MLC programs on the PC.

Which is going to come first, the on-calc editor or the PC version?
If i have the time i could try and put as much info as i can on the wiki article. Anything you don't want me to put on there?
EDIT: Now that i think about it, the links that are on there seem to have pretty much all the info anyway.. nevermind

Hello Tommo91 and welcome to the UCPF!
![:D](/dot/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png)
The on-calc editor is already in the works now. I'm pretty sure the on-calc editor will come first before the PC version.
EDIT: I'm afraid I don't have as much time as I use to have anymore. School is just too... crazy. Everything has been put on steroids (figurative speaking) this year. Anyways, I'll need volunteers to help build the MLC editor. Anyone interested? I believe it will be better this way. If you guys want, please list some suggestions that you would like in a on-calc editor.

As for what I'd like to see in the editor, some shortcuts (like f keys) for # and ^ etc. would be nice. As well as a way to test it easily. Like a button that automatically opens up the MLC add-in and tests it. Then when the game finishes it returns to the editing screen.

Is it written in C? I don't know how much I'd be able to help (unless theres some 'time-consuming-yet-not-very-difficult' programming chores).
Bummer.

Ok, I'll take those into consideration. Thanks for your suggestions.

...Alright, more details:
- Load any kind of MLC program.
- Use AC to quit the program.
- Now there is a chance that the calculator stops and you are forced to reset it.
Go ahead and produce the bug.

Thanks for supplying more details. I haven't had witnessed this bug, but I'll try to find it.Make sure you fix the "calculator stops when quitting" bug.

How do you get MLC onto the calculator?
thanks

When exactly does it crash? Are you able to get to the file selection menu? What game are you trying to run?

I just put in the examples into my Slim version into the storage mem and it will get to the list but then when I try to actually run something it just flat out restarts!Hello peenee and welcome to the UCPF!

The problem seems that the video address on the fx-9860Slim is different from the fx-9860G/SD versions. Since MLC fx-9860 requires grayscales, thus needs to write directly to video memory, it won't work on the Slim. I really need to get my hands on a Slim version...

I've seen grayscales in action on my slim before (cant remember what add-in though) but they do work! Also, do you know of any way to "downgrade" my OS ver? because mines jus a lil buggy with a few things occasionally and some addins dont work due to it (such as Diagnostic may work it its lower)MLC fx-9860 has been confirmed to work on the fx-9860G.

As for the Diagnostic application, I would assume that the location of the app is different for each OS. As CASIO modifies the OS, it shifts the location of the diagnostic application.

As for the updates, why do you insist on leaving unfinished project behind to start new ones?

When I bought my calc it came with 1.10 >_< So, dont know if that will change anything but I do have an upgrade to 1.3 in PC app form on my computer (you can still DL it at Casio's edu site [2 lazy 2 look up link])You can probably downgrade.... Do you still have copies and update programs for the old OSes?
