What Basic Tools have to be allowed?
Last year some people complained that theire fav. tool wasn't supported. Can someone of the basic guys indicate which tools have to be allowed for sure?
If it's going to be an animation:
Zpic, because TI-BASIC only allow 10 pictures
Omnicalc might be too much, but it might be useful for some 2D animation **cough**Wacky fun Random Numbar Generator in grayscale**cough**
Unfortunately Omnicalc is only for the 83+ so I am afraid it would not be a ggod idea. Zapi works on both 83s.

But i meant something like a simple sprite routine.

Winning a basic comp with an asm prog is easier... so it's still a noleofox wrote:if someone'd do that he/she might as well just enter in the asm category.kv83 wrote:Of course not. this way you could make a whole asm prog, and execute it from basic...leofox wrote:If you make your own asm lib, can you use it too?

I'm sure it's quite trivial to port.leofox wrote:codex doesn't work on ti-83 too right?
About making sprites, I was considering making a C/C++ program that automated it (like making it on-calc and this program changes it to .db's), but never found the time...
"If SOURCE is outlawed, only outlaws will have SOURCE."
From my perception of things, I think that if someone use an ASM lib, the BASIC code should do at least 70% of the work, especially since it's a programming contest. Grayscale for example is actually done by ASM at more than 60/70%. What I mean is that if I would make a grayscale animation this would mean that more than half of the work is done by the author of the ASM lib, not by the one who participate in the programming contest.
Just a thought. Basically, people should be allowed to use Asm libs, but with moderation.
