Reverse Engineering the TI-89 StudyCards File Format
After stalling 2 years ago, I finally sat down and reverse engineered the StudyCard appvariable file format for my ti89 titanium. Why? Bacause the original software is old and unsuited to my use case: I want to paste in a list of a hundred vocab terms, not mess around with manually formatting the front and back of each card. For the specifics of my work, you can download the writeup underneath.
Things that haven't been explored:
- Other types of study stacks. This research only covers "self-check". While I do intend to look into the others (Self-check with Levels, Multiple-Choice, and Multiple-Choice with Levels), I have not yet
- Images. Supposedly the official StudyCard Creator software supports images, which I don't care about nor want to research> Eventually I might look into these purely to see if it clears up some of the unknowns in the current outline, though I don't intend to ever fully implement them.
