Online C compiler for the TI-84 Plus CE / TI-83 Premium CE

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Well to be fair, ticalc had no news for 7 months, so a lot of people probably stopped checking regularly. They should check again more frequently, though, because they're back in business (for now at least).

No comment about the advertising, other than the fact it's always a good move to clarify things publicly, sometimes, in case there is confusion (eg Ndless authorship or CW goals).

[Adriweb]

Now has an integrated chat as well, for even better multi-user live collaboration

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Woah nice initiative. I remember one site that had that but I forgot its name. I'm glad that group-editing is available too. Hopefully there won't be too much lag when a file is being edited by someone in France and USA simultaneously.

[Snektron]

That's quite a cool feature

Woah nice initiative. I remember one site that had that but I forgot its name.

Google drive has it too.

[Adriweb]

Yeah, I'm trying to have the same kind of multi-user feature as Google Drive has. At least in the basics, it's obviously not as good.
Although I do plan to have the same kind of sharing options in the future (private / unlisted / unlisted / specific people can edit, etc. etc.)

[Snektron]

Are you going to add other editors like an image editor etc too btw?

[Adriweb]

The "Online C Compiler" is in the process of being restructured into a more general Project Builder, which will eventually have more editors, so that this C thing for the ez80 will just be one of the possible things.
All these should hopefully be made in beautiful OOP to have a nice modular architecture, especially to easily add more types in the future

On top of my head, I can think of adding a TI-Basic IDE (using my tivars_lib, since it's ready and usable) as a project type in the builder, for instance, and it should not be very hard, once the rest of the project builder's core is done (todo list...).

Since it's going to be open-source, I'd welcome anyone wanting to add some type of editor (image, sprites, etc.). With several editors, it could easily become the most complete TI-related online editor suite

[Snektron]

Oh that is pretty cool
If only it would be possible to add the js wrapper to it and send files to it

[Adriweb]

Heh, I'll do my best to integrate open-source community emus if/when one gets done, especially for the CE
For the z80, I should probably ask SirCmpwn and/or jacobly some news about z80e / OpenTI, see if that can be embedded in a way that would work.

Having real-time source-level debugging would be quite awesome

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Image and sprite editors would definitively be a big plus. And yeah I am curious if z80e would be useable?

Latest updates :

• Improved stability of multiuser features
  
• Secured multiuser features (auth tokens on firebase and associated rules)
  
• major improvements on the toolchain side:
  
  • Better Makefile
    
  • Linkcmd re-done from scratch
    
  • Architecture redesign regarding sections (header, startup, code, data, text)
    
  • Startup code initializing main safeRAM areas (where the BSS is => no need to initialize all globals to {0} for instance!)
    
  • Workaround regarding ZDS's unsafe use of the IY index register (the OS uses it...), with a _OS( expr ) wrapper
    
  • A lot more standard functions now work as expected (for instance, malloc/free)
    
  • Compatibility with Cesium libraries
• Integrated static analysis with a cppcheck pass (in the background while the compiler is busy)

(Huge thanks to Mateo for his Cesium/Toolchain/Libs work !)


1st message from cppcheck (static analysis) and second one from ZDS (compiler) :



Public beta soon !

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Great work! Did the multiuser stability issues involve lag?

[Adriweb]

Nah, there never was lag, even with users across the world (well, France, USA,  and Canada, at least).
It was boring AJAX [a]synchronicity issues preventing stuff being loaded correctly.... as well as security issues with expired tokens refreshing (well, stuff would refuse to load, rather)

[Dream of Omnimaga]

I see, AJAX can be annoying for that. Just remember the many bugs that OmnomIRC, SAX and WalrusIRC had in the past, where they stopped sending or loading stuff or randomly stopped working. >.<

[Adriweb]

I have finished the complete server-side rewrite (modularized in OOP), and after some testing, I have now opened the builder in public beta*

TI-Planet's Project Builder : https://tiplanet.org/pb/

A separate topic will soon announce everything there is to know.
