UtilPack/ UtilComp [hp prime][lib]

This is UtilPack and UtilComp (I will post a download tomorrow). UtilPack is a lib for the HP Prime! Right now it has three functions:

Functions

GETTIME(); returns the time in a list: {H,M,S}
GETDATE(); returns the date in a list: {Y,M,D}
RUNPROG(Prog); runs Prog (but has the same limitation as SIFS right now (it cannot run programs with arguments in the main function

))

UtilComp will be a UtilPack compiler so when you release the program/ game to the public the user won't have to have UtilPack on their calc.
NOTE: if you have UtilPack on your calc and you are a developer you don't need to compile it because it uses the functions right out of UtilPack

So is UtilPack kind of like a third party library?

Seems very nice. I am curious if eventually this could be developed into some sort of library for use by HP PPL programmers to make it easier to program games.

Would definitely be awesome

also we still need a cross compiled language that supports TI 84 +/ CSE / CE and HP Prime too

Yeah, that would be awesome! Also anyone can make a Utility for UtilPack, or if you have an idea just post it here and I will try to make it work

Ok I'll try this soon

Sorry for not checking sooner, I was quite busy and had lots of posts to catch up on. D:

Meh, all it does right now is tell you the date and time and execute programs semi reliably

the real coolness is when I get UtilComp working where it will replace all of the GETTIME(); with the actual code to get the time inside the program

u/Snektron June 25, 2015, 03:12:06 PM

Sounds cool

You should add more functions too

I am kind of out of ideas (not that I have really been thinking about it)
I came up with the idea to make this when I got into getting the time (turns out it is allot more complicated than I thought) so I wanted it to be available to anybody

Also as I add features to SIFS I am going to add more stuff to this because SIFS is pretty much a UtilPack with a GUI and UtilPack is for easy neat coding

Also if anybody has ideas I will add them to UtilPack

Catching up on posts oh boy!

So will this Lib be included in Sifs?
