That one allowed editing archived programs? nice. I thought it was just some sort of rip-off from Noshell.
It's actually pretty cool.  I prefer Mirage over it, but it's my second favorite shell. :)  (I try to go as hook-less as possible. ;D)

I still want ON breaking supported, even if it becomes an optional feature while compiling for debug mode :P
Same here.  I like the security of pressing On. :D

I would like to be able to use the ON key like an interupt key. So when you hit ON it will quit to a certain set code you give (like a menu or displaying all the values of the cars for debugging) and then you can do a lot more with it.

how about instead of just ON as the break, pressing multiple keys like ON + Clear or something like that is the default break key?

3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)

By the way just so we're all clear, asm does not naively support on-breaks.  Instead, you have to create your own interrupt code to deal with the breaks.  So there really isn't any short term solution until I add interrupt support, which isn't that far away.

Seems like a good idea. I assume the grayscale support, if it ever gets added, will use them too?

ON support seems like a good idea cuz I know many people will forget to add an exit to their game in the future (if not alerady) and lose progress on their projects and give up x.x

yeah, just happend to me that I had to take out my batteries.
But I wont give up.

I also like the grayscale idea, but I think that will slow down your programs, so there has to be something to switch it on/off, like: FnOn/FnOff

Ouch, I hope you did not lose too much x.x

And yeah for grayscale, something interrupt-based would be nice. Of course if done the way I think it might not be that slow, but the issue is that the program would become horribly massive. See Reuben Quest (altough it's mostly TI-BASIC). Had this game not used grayscale, it would be at least 2x smaller in size

yes, and it uses 3 colors? white-gray-black?
how many colors are going to be used for grayscale games in Axe?
I think 3 is enough, but perhaps 4/5 could be nice/usefull

I'm guessing 3 will be the typical number, and sometimes 4 if used properly, but I doubt 5 will ever be used (is that even possible on a calc?)

Well yes, actually.  Look at Calc84Maniac's Chip's Challenge.  It uses 8 :)

5 is possible. Calc84maniac uses 8. Nitacku made a program to create 5 lv grayscale xLIB/Celtic pics. However, 5 in BASIC looks crappy on a regular 83+. In ASM it may be tolerable, though. Keep in mind, however, that grayscale takes much more memory to store tiles, if you got many, though.

I wrote a quick program earlier that tells me the keycodes when I press them, I have always found that a bit easier.

Can you post the code for this, i thought i wrote one correctly but it returns odd symbols.
Seeing this code would help me a lot.

Oh, I can just whip it up really quick, I deleted the source and kept the binary.  Give me a moment.



###########################



Code: (Axe Basic) [Select]
0->K
While K=/=15
getkey->K
If K
ClrHome
Disp K>Dec
End
End
This will always display 15 if when you exit.  If you don't care about that and can manage to remember that Clear==15, you can optimize to this:
Code: (Axe Basic) [Select]
Repeat getkey(15)
getkey->K
If K
ClrHome
Disp K>Dec
End
End
Also, this one doesn't loop, and is even smaller:
Code: (Axe Basic) [Select]
Pause 5000
Disp getkey>Dec
You have a couple seconds to press a key before it polls for it.

Thank you this was actually very helpful. So I guess what i need to learn is how to read from a variable. i never used the >dec command before.
