Yeah that's why I included them. Since the contest mainly focused on creativity rather than programming and performance, this is why entries competed against each others and included all platforms I own. The only issue was pure TI-84+ BASIC and such languages, due to lack of grayscale support and speed problems, but JWinslow23 still managed to get the most out of that language and get 2nd place.
Hmm, I had a very surprising axsembly engine for the TI-84+ too. It worked quite nice. Sadly I did not implement a game
And then the time ran out and I wrote the PC engine in like 5 or 6 hours.

I didn't know you did ASM too? :o

Thats how he wrote TwoStep for the 84+... Unless @DarkestEx used axe?

Yeah, TwoStep for the 84+. It is written in half Axe and half in-line-assembly.
I put that inline assembly into custom Axe functions. It works quite nice.

Oh cool

Though doesnt that work quite bad? I mean i have to use some inline ASM sometimes but i need to use something like ClrHome to compile to hex

u/Unicorn June 23, 2015, 01:55:54 AM

Wait, so you use a BASIC command in an Assembly program? O.o

u/Duke "Tape" Eiyeron June 23, 2015, 08:33:42 PM

Nah, he probably means ClrHome

It works quite well actually. You're right I'm using http://clrhome.org/asm/ to assemble it into hex and then copy it over to my Sourcecoder window.
Sometimes I program on calc but most of the big features are done on my PC (after copying the current progress over).
As TwoStep is not processor nor memory intensive, most Axe functions suffice, but e.g. I am using custom keypad code and some other tweaks.
I could in fact write a game entirely in assembler, but then I couldn't easily write on the go.

It would be cool to have a good Axe compiler/ide for pc, that supports inline asm in readable form

I actually wanted to do something similar like that, but nobody was really interested in that project so I cancelled it.
It was an Axe debugger + emulator for PC with possible compiling support.

That would actually be awesome :o
Also what would be cool, if it was possible to make some kind of axe parser hook, so you can make things like preprocessors and structs
EDIT: it is possible to compile from another app (or program) it looks like, but then you still need to remake the program finding part

Yeah, that would be cool. Maybe you want to help?

Hmm i'll think about it. I've actually got some free time now, but i installed Unreal Engine 4 today and i want to see if i can make something with it
