Apps with dwedit.inc

How do i make applications for the 83+ with dwedit.inc? Do i need a special compiler?

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

Go download "Dwedit's appdev kit" from ticalc.org

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

i downloaded it, and i got my program compiled, but it doesn't work in vti 3.0. I got it installed and all, but it only shows random pixels, like when you turn the TV to a blank channel.

What am i doing wrong now?
here is the first lines of my code with the app header and crap

.nolist
#define end .end
#define END .end
#define equ .equ
#define EQU .equ
#define gbuf PlotSScreen

#include "ti83plus.inc"
#define ProgStart $4000
.list

.org ProgStart

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

The app header looks correct.

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

It works now, i forgot i can't use SMC in apps, and that i have to copy the text strings to ram before i could use text routines.

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

okay, i though i'd make a 2 page app, no problem... I was wrong.
I downloaded your appdev kit, and created a 2-page app. I followed the example of the hello world programs.
But it STILL doesn't work :( . It compiles correctly, it's 2 pages on VTI and flash debugger, but it crashes. I figured out that it crashes right after the call to the second page. This is my code on the first page:

.nolist
#define end .end
#define END .end
#define equ .equ
#define EQU .equ

#define APPPAGES 2
#define APPNAME "DesRealm"
#include dwedit.inc

	ld hl,AppVarName3
	rst 20h
	ld hl,20000
	rst 28h \ .dw 4E6Ah		;create appvar
	INC DE
	INC DE
	LD (mappointer),DE
	LD HL,mapdata
	ld bc,15000
	ldir
	;jr quit
	b_call(_desrealmPage2)
quit:
	bjump(_JForceCmdNoChar)
	

Appvarname3:
	.db AppVarObj,"MAPBUF",0

#include mapdata.inc

_desrealmPage2 = $ - $4000
  .dw $4000  ;Offset of routine of second page...
  .db 1

Mappointer 	equ SaveSScreen+2

 .end
.END

And this is the beginning of the second page:

.nolist
#define end .end
#define END .end
#define equ .equ
#define EQU .equ

#DEFINE NOAPPHEADER
#INCLUDE "DWEDIT.INC"
	
	JP desrealmpage2
	
desrealmpage2:

Thanks in advance!

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

The second page. I copied that from hello and hello2, just changed the name.

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

What call to the second page?  I see an unconditional jr in front of it.

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

oh, that jr was to test if it was the b_call the freaked out or the other code. There's supposed to be a semicolon in front of it

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

I see no reason why it would crash... what else is on page 2?

Re: Apps with dwedit.inc

Ah, i found the problem. I had my stupid 20K map stuck on page 2... i deleted that and now it works fine.

But i have another question. You ported apack to z80 right? Well, i downloaded it, and created a compressed file, but it's .bin. How do i use .bin in my apps? Do i need to convert it to .db stuff?
