[theoretical][debate][TI-84+CE]About porting Axe Parser to color calculators

Axe Parser, for the uninitiated (probably the small minority on this site) is a development tool (compiler kit) and programming language for the TI-8{3|4}+(SE) (henceforth the TI-84). Many games have been written with it. Now, those games are not easily ported to any other calculator (they have to be rewritten.)I'm particularly interested in making a port that can run decently on an TI84+CSE. I wouldn't make it myself, since I'm not an ASM programmer (yet), but maybe one day...Upon compil...

Pre-made engines now available for TI-84 Plus CE C coders via Project Builder

If you were a fan of RPG Maker or Game Maker, or prefered more freedom while still not having to do an entire game engine from scratch, then it is now possible with TI-83 Premium CE and TI-84 Plus CE C programming to start new game projects using pre-made engines! There are times where certain programmers might prefer to spend more time writing game content and graphics than spending weeks or months just to make a tilemapper fr...

The calculator of your dreams (or your fears)

I saw a topic on TI-Planet ;t=17473 and I thought it would be interesting to see what people here would like as a new graphing calculator, what they expect the next TI/Casio/HP calculator to be, in terms of technical specs (eg processor name, speed, RAM, flash, etc). Make sure to be somewhat realistic, though, perhaps basing yourself on past TI calculator releases or smartphone attempts at dabbling into calculators (eg Lexibook).

TI-84+CE BASIC new Wait command & extra Pause arguments

So it looks like TI-84 Plus CE BASIC is about to inherit an HP Prime feature for its BASIC language: a Wait command, which takes 0 to 100 as argument for seconds. It is supposed to come in OS 5.2 but it is unclear if the seconds are actually seconds based on the internal clock or just like For(VAR,0,DELAY:End. Nonetheless, this should save space in programs that requires a lot of slowdowns, and if it takes accurate seconds as argument, then if TI ever releases a faster ez80 calculator, then it w...
