ICE Compiler

ICE Compiler is a program that compiles TI-BASIC-like language to assembly. Create insane games, take full advanage of the color screen, and close the gap to using other languages! Not only will your BASIC programs enjoy increased speed, it is also easy to use. Type your program in the normal BASIC editor, compile within seconds*, for hours of fun! No shell is required.

*Note: compilation time depends on the size of your source program(s)

Build

To build ICE for the calculator, be sure to have the C SDK installed. Then, run make from the command line. To build ICE for the computer, run make -f makefile.computer from the command line.

Download

See the Cemetech Archives for the latest download and documentation.

Usage

Calculator

Run Asm(prgmICE from the homescreen. This will show a list of compilable programs. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to select the right program, and press [ENTER] or [2ND]. Your program will now be compiled! You can now run your program with Asm(prgmNAME or press [Y=] after compiling.

If you have OS 5.3+, you can omit the Asm( token and simply run prgmICE from the homescreen

Computer (CLI)

From the command line, run ice <input program> to compile the input programs. Note that if you want to compile subprograms too, put them in the same folder as ice.exe. It is a good idea to put ice.exe and all of your input programs in the same folder.
