PicoCalc Users: Beyond Tinkering & Setup, What Are Your Real-World Use Cases?

personally, the journal

Just programming various things in BASIC is nostalgic fun for me.

Most recently I wrote a solver for the All Ten math puzzle, now my kid’s math teacher emails for help when stuck.

I wrote a console Star Trek game updated to include the Borg, and also a Lunar Lander game.

I would be interested in this. Let me know if you put any of this online :+1:

I have been writing software for a long time, over 40 years. I plan to have fun with Python. Python is the new BASIC, IMHO.

Some folks, play games for entertainment. I write code.

The PicoCalc will be much better than balancing my laptop on my chest in bed!

Hey thanks, I’ll give it a go later :smiley:

Great! Let me know what you think.

I like anything to do with Star Trek, so I really like it. Never played the original.

The Executive Calendar is complete (pretty much).

It’s based on the TRS-80 Model 100 program, but as I was porting it, I realized that there was too many compromises made for the Model 100 that didn’t need to be there for the PicoCalc. So I ended up rewriting it from scratch using the Model 100 program as a model.

It features:
Calendar - display by month
A daily agenda.
A daily to do list.



It’s up on my GitHub site.
