Command line

[AngelFish]

This is an evolution of an old project of mine called TI-explorer. It's exactly what the name suggests: a calculator command line.

Nice graphical command line

OMG I lost.

[AngelFish]

My calc lost too 

[SirCmpwn]

Nice!  You should take a look at my Terminal, it's a similar project.

How did you parse input? I'm trying to read the bytes typed, but that's kind of a pain.

[SirCmpwn]

The keyboard has a pattern: from Enter (9), as you move vertically, the numbers increase, and wrap around each row (almost).  Every eight vertical moves, you wrap around.  So, use getkey-11→K, and then {Str1+K} is the letter pressed, assuming Str1 is the following:
"WRMH**?[theta]VQLG**:ZUPKFC* YTOJEB**XSNIDA"
* is an invalid key, or one without a letter.

I meant how did you parse the text?  I use a lookup table to display characters, so it's not a problem for me to extract the codes.

Oh, I have two subroutines, CS (Compare Strings) and SW (Starts With), used like this:
sub(CS,[String1],[String2]
Which returns a 1 if they are equal, and a 2 if not.  I use this for no-arg commands.
sub(SW,[String1],[String2]
Returns a 1 if [String2] starts with [String1].  I use this for arg commands, like (I know this won't compile) sub(SW,"echo ",UserInput
Here's the code:

Code: [Select]

Lbl SW
If {r1}=0 or ({r2}=0
0
Return
End
While {r1}
If {r1}=/={r2}
0
Return
End
r1+1→r1
r2+1→r2
End
1
Return
Lbl CS
If {r1}=0
0
Return
End
While {r1} and {r2}
If {r1}=/={r2}
0
Return
End
r1+1→r1
r2+1→r2
End
If ({r1}=0 and ({r2}=/=0)) or ({r1}=/=0 and ({r2}=0
0
Else
1
End
Return

Added a desktop background

what's the mouse going to be for?
Are you going to include a flashing text cursor so you know where you are in the string?

[AngelFish]

The mouse will be so that you can move the command window around [and hopefully select text]. I am planning on a cursor as well.

[Eeems]

ah ok cool

[DJ Omnimaga]

So basically this would not only be a command line, but also some sort of shell?

[AngelFish]

If I ever decide to implement shell features, they'll be through Doors. It's just a command line for now.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah ok. I was wondering because you mentionned being able to move the window around and stuff.
