I know this isn't a game, and probably won't receive too much attention, but I thought I'd post it here just the same.

TIFC is a conversion program I wrote ages ago based on some information I had gotten for school, and I had wanted to make it easier for me to access. Well, with the coming of the 84+CSE, I thought I should get it ready to be ported. Sadly, the code is lame, and it requires 4 programs and a picvar for it to work. The amount of conversions in it is sad, and I realized the best thing to do is just start from scratch, mostly. So, I have!



The above is what this program used to look like. And this is what it is going to look like across the board:



I've also mocked up some images for what it might look like on the 84+CSE. KermMartian was kind enough to screenshot an empty graphscreen and the letters onto it so I could know what I was going to do:



Can't wait to get my hands on this calc! :D

As it stands right now, this is what the new version of the program is capable of doing:

Conversions currently implemented: 674

And more will be added from this list, found here: http://www.sutron.com/pdfs/Conversions&Calculations.pdf

So, any thoughts or passing remarks? Maybe some suggestions on more conversions I should add, and where I might find the equations to do so?

The 68ks have quite a list of conversions already built into the OS, so it's not really imperative that I make it available for them. Unless they aren't all that great? I can't say I've ever really used them.

Good program. :) It's a good thing that it gets ported to all models too since they're all still used often for maths. The CSE version looks nice as well.

TIFreak already said that the screenshots are actually mockups.
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

And thanks, guys. I plan on making this version a hundred times superior to the previous version!

But yeah, that would be nice to see that program on the new calc, having quickley new programs for the enw calc would hopefully motivate many new people to join the community! :D

Well, the only thing I'll need to deal with is text placement, and the text colors. It shouldn't take me long once I get the calc to make the edits and have it ready, or at least that's what I'm hoping. I should have the rest of the calcs done with in the next week or two.

With some feedback I've gotten, the following will make it into the list of weight conversions thus far:

Carat (CD)
grams (g)
kilograms (kg)
Ounces (oz)
Pounds (lb)
Ton
Tonne

If anyone has any others that they think would be good to add to this list, please let me know and I'll see about doing so :) Thanks.

The above has been written in! I'll be doing volume and Length, next! Also updated the list at the top to show what all has been programmed in.

Just so you know, there's a difference between mass and weight. You should have categories for both.

The pdf file I had has the title as "Mass conversion Table ("Weight")" So I was going with just 'weight'. I could add Mass up in the title, as well.

I'm up to 178 conversions programmed into this thing so far, with at least 3 more categories to fill. This is one massive program. :<

How large is it so far? Also I wonder if the size would be similar on the 84+CSE or if it's smaller/larger (on the TI-86, for example, programs are larger than on the 85 before and after tokenizing, but I think lowercase letters on both calcs are 1 bytes large, instead of 2 on the 83+ series.)
