Compatibility
TI-83+/84+
Language
Axe Parser ('Axe') is a new programming language for the TI-83+/84+ calculators created by Kevin Horowitz that is designed to replace the built-in TI-Basic language. The language resembles TI-Basic, and programs can be written on the calculator using the same program editor; it is also substantially faster than TI-Basic, and allows more control while remaining much easier to learn than assembly.
Axe is a true compiled language, however, as it creates nostub assembly programs which can be distributed and run by themselves just like standard assembly programs written in straight assembly, or can be run from within an assembly shell (such as MirageOS or Doors CS). It won the prestigious Program of the Year (POTY) award at ticalc.org in 2010.
Significance of Product
The release of Axe Parser combined with Ndless' led to a rapid increase in activity on Omnimaga and later Cemetech and a drastic increase in the amount of featured TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus programs on ticalc.org in 2010, as it suddenly became significantly easier to create arcade-type games with advanced graphics and smooth gameplay.
