That would definitely be possible for the addition and subtraction routines, but I don't know how that would work with the decimal display routine. It works by having all the multiples of 10 that can fit in the data size you're using hardcoded into the routine. I could hardcode the multiples of 10 up to a very high amount and just hope the user doesn't exceed it, although that would probably be a bit wasteful, as I doubt most people would require most of the excess data.

But it's possible. Want me to try it?


Note: That question was pretty much rhetorical, because now I want to try this anyway.

A rhetorical response to a rhetorial question... I would like to announce 'FTW', but I can't come up with a way to word it...
Hmm...

It would be even cooler if you could mix and match the sizes, especially for addition and subtraction, allowing me to do things like add a 3 byte number to a 5 byte number...  And for completeness, something that could take an X byte number and truncate/pad it to a Y byte size number...

I'm not really sure how decimals would work with all that, though.

Woo, necro. I thought I'd share my own custom input routine, coming in at ~360 bytes.(For some reason I've never liked input...). Anyway, it's very flexible and allows the use of ALPHA to toggle between caps, lowercase, and number input. Writes ASCII to the desired location in memory. Press Enter to "finish"

edit: here's a basic screenie

I don't understand what's the text at the bottom for

Oh ok, you should probably add text saying Mode: or something, so it is a bit more clear.

I think you might run into problems if the sprite data spans two pages.

Should this be stickied now that there's more room?
