Watching a couple of Rick&Morty episodes before thinking about new program ideas really helps to get creative  :crazy:
Cant wait to see where your game will be going  :thumbsup:

Hardware / The WalrusLink Project
August 22, 2016, 10:01:33 PM
Currentle we (DarkestEx + p2) are working at a little hardware project together.
Out original idea was that it would be really cool to be able to use external Keyboards on your calculator.
However that idea developed into something bigger... Our plan is the following:

We want to use Arduino parts to create a rather cheap posibillity to use one (or multiple) external keyboards (PS/2, USB, 2.5mm Phone connector) without any need of knowledge about the technology we use. We want it to be as simple to use as any cable or adapter. But not only for basic programs, we also want to develop Axe libraries so any Axe game can be controlled using a real keyboard :)

Also it should make it possible to easily add speakers to your calc since we want to add a audio amplyfier with a 3.5mm Audio output.


In addition we're thinking about making software development on calcs easier (and faster).
Therefore we want to add a special mode in which typed characters would be automatically turned into calculator commands. So typing "Lbl" on your keyboard would result in the basic command LBL. This might also be extended to support Axe commands as well.


But still it's of cause not sure how far we're gonna get and which of these features we're gonna actually add :)

And for the 3rd part of the game:
You were able to kill the real queen, too, but kept it a secret (just like you did when killign the Reptiloids since the public didnt know about ths). Now you're wearing that old reptiloid's mask and have taken the queen's place - and start ruling the Reptiloids since they think it'd be their retpiloid queen  >:D
--> this time no shooter but a strategy game in which you got to conquer the universe   :w00t:

the point is that this software, "Classic Shell", is for Windows7, too.
So you can use that tool just like you would on windows8 or windows10.
At least that's what it says on the website ;)

@DJ Omnimaga : That private pokestop map i back online btw...

Also it's known the US made the GPS system never give you an accurte position on purpose since they want to prevent people from using it to guide misles and stuff... Maybe that's why you can hatch eggs without walking? :)

All european monochrome models no longer support ASM.
So you're saying even calcs like the TI-84+ no longer support ASM programs? I hope not! :(
And how is it blocked? The new OS-Versions block it or something?

Other / Custom Windows Button
August 22, 2016, 03:55:47 PM
This littel Tutorial is about getting  custom  Windows/Start Icon just like this one:
Plase note that this only works for windows10, 8.x and 7(btw 10 and 8 really suck)
Edit: I'm having some issues lately which seem to be caused by this. Recommend NOT to use this anymore. (at least not on windows10)




Step 1 - The image
At first you need your Icon. Mine looks like this:
[spoiler=My Picture][/spoiler]
As you can see it consists of 3 frames:
The first one is the normal mode - this picture is usually displayed instead of the  Windows/Start button.
The second one is displayed when hoovering the Windows/Start button
The third one is only shown when you clicked it or pressed teh windows key.
(btw if I press Windows multiple times it looks like my walrii is animated)  :love:

Mind that all three images must have the same height/width and must be put together into one picture.
JPEG, PNG and BMP files are fine but i'd recommend using PNG to get rid of the white background.

The computer automatically crops the image and displays it at original size (if not too large) in a centered position instead of the original button.
So if you use a 1x3px image, you'l get a 1x1 pixel image shown. If the image is too big it's just scaled down to the height of the taskbar.
You should probably add an empty border at the left side of your picture because else it's gonna bet directly at the edge of teh screen.
It's also possible to use images that are width but not very high - so you could get your old WinXP start button back ;)


Step 2 - The software
Once you got your image you need the software:
I used a program called "Classic Shell" to set the image as my new StartButton. Classic shell is a really cool too lthat lets you modify most of the layouts in your system.
So if you (just like me) think this new Start Menu is bullc, you can just make it look like  the Win7 version of it :)

It's main purpose once was to let you modify the skin of your entire windows system.
Since windows 8 and 10 were released, it's minly used to back the good old "Classic" design from Windows7 since many users dont like the win8 and win10 design.
You can get the tool at http://www.classicshell.net/ for free.

Please note that it's impossible to go and disable everything except the new start button layout.
You will for example get a different start menu since you cant disable that option. If you don't like that, don't install the software.
(Except of cause you are already using windows7)



To set the icon, open Classic Shell Menu Settings and go to "Start Menu Style".
At the bottom of the page you can then select the option "Replace Start Button" and click "PICK IMAGE..." to load your new icon file.
[spoiler=It should look like this][/spoiler]
Once you chose the file it should immideately replace it :)

If you chose to play around with ClassicShell a little more you can get almost all of the old windows7 theme back:
[spoiler=My Desktop]
As you can see I sadly haven't found any wiy to replace the window bar... But the rest looks ust like my good old windows7  :thumbsup:[/spoiler]

If I missed anything or maybe wrote some nonsense feel free to tell me :)
Have fun <3

Plottwist: The evil queen (she was really evil) was taken hostage by the Reptiloids that try to take over the world. So once you defeat and kill the reptiloid wearing a mask so he looks like the queen you go and free the true queen - So she can continue what the reptiloid did since shes evil, too --> Part two of the game "Kill the evil queen AGAIN"

Huh? But shouldnt a reinstalation fix this problem then? I mean it's notlike this stuff is disabled by default?
#1860
