Program Header

Doors CSE for the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition color-screen calculator uses a more modular header than the earlier black-and-white version for the TI-83 Plus/Silver Edition and TI-84 Plus/Silver Edition.

Header Format #

The general header format is as follows, and is designed for the Brass assembler:

Header Field Types #

Note: Most of these fields are optional. The Type 3 header is not optional for Doors CSE 8.0+ programs.

0: Description. Data is variable-length: zero-terminated string. Short descriptions are recommended.
1: Icon. Data is variable length.
- Offset 0: Icon type (1 byte).
  - Type 0: 32*32-pixel icon, 2-bit color (4 colors), 8-byte (4-color) palette
  - Type 1: 32*32-pixel icon, 1-bit color (2 colors), 4-byte (2-color) palette
  - Type 2: 16*16-pixel icon, 4-bit color (16 colors), 32-byte (16-color) palette
  - Type 3: 16*16-pixel icon, 8-bit color (256 colors), xLIBC palette (no palette data) (Doors CE only)
- Offset 1: Palette (bytes as indicated above)
- Offset 1+(palette size): Icon width, in displayed pixels. 32 for icon types 0-2.
- Offset 2+(palette size): Icon height, in displayed pixels. 32 for icon types 0-2.
- Offset 3+(palette size): Icon data
2: Author name. Data is a zero-terminated, variable-length string. Short names are recommended.
