These days I tend to play it on my Playstation Portable. During the PhD years I played Lemmings on several different systems that came my way (thanks to donations from friends and, of course, ebay) such as the Sega Master System, Sega Saturn and Sega Game Gear. Back at home, my brother and I would while away the hours playing it on our own, much less powerful and more humble, ZX Spectrum.Ī couple of years later – while doing my A-Levels and during my first year of University – I would play Lemmings on my Acorn Archimedes before finally graduating to the DOS version on my 233MhZ PC around the time of my undergraduate finals. In my early high school years I would go to my rich friend’s house and play Lemmings on their Amiga. Released back in 1991 it has been around for over half of my life and forms an integral part of my youthful memories. Lemmings is one of those video games that is so popular that almost everyone has heard of it. Although I won’t be able to follow the Windows Mobile versions after next week, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on SMath for Linux and Windows and hope to bring a more detailed review to you at some point in the future. ![]() This software is well worth watching in my opinion. One cool feature to consider is that you can develop calculations on the desktop version (screen shot below) and then carry them around, edit and run them on your Windows Mobile phone (screenshot above).Īndrey has recently released version 0.82 of the software and there are some active forums over at his website in both English and Russian where you can discuss it. It installed perfectly on my HTC TyTn II and offers an experience very similar to a simplified version of PTC’s Mathcad and can even handle Mathcad’s. SMath studio is a very nice free maths application that is being developed by Andrey Ivashov for Windows and Linux (via Mono) desktops as well as Windows Mobile handhelds. I last looked at this back in early 2008 but one or two things have changed since then. So users can know how much memory they can use safely and make sure user's progames and data can be safely preserved on disk.It won’t be long before I give up Windows Mobile for good in favour of the HTC Hero and the Android operating system but before I do I thought I would take one last look at what’s out there in terms of mathematical software for the Windows Mobile platform. When the app starts it can ask that much to opeartion system for use. ![]() Let users to choose how many memory they want. Does free42 still have these limitations? Maybe it can jump more than 1000 steps and remember more locations for program to return.Įmus48 uses a file to simulate memory which a calculator has. Such as GOT function can't jump to subroutines more than 1000 steps and for RTN fucntion Hp-42s can remember up to 8 pending return locations. Hp-42s has some limitation for it's programes. Since free42 uses C++ runtime system to manage memory. Probably before you hit the absolute limit, the performance of your computer/phone/tablet will start to suffer. At some point you'll hit a limit, but it's difficult to predict where that limit would be. Unfortunately, wanting to know this for Free42 is sort of like wanting to know how many pages you can type into Microsoft Word, or how many tabs you can open in your web browser. The HP-42S fimrware managed it very closely, and always knew exactly how much unused RAM was present. Free42 on a computer/phone/tablet works nothing at all like the HP-42S, which had exactly 8192 bytes of RAM (unless you cracked it open and put in more). Quote:How many memory of free42's can be used safely? In the latter case, usually more than is immediately needed is given by the operating system to the runtime system, hence an allocation can actually cause free memory (within the application) to go up. ![]() With Free42, the memory is managed by the C++ runtime system, so when memory has to be allocated by the calculator, it may be allocated from memory that the operating system (Windows MacOS, Linux, Android, etc.) has already given to the runtime system, or the runtime system may ask the operating system for more.
