Edit:
I just realized something: I don't need a dynamic AppVar. I just use Axe's GDB0 and keep track of how long it's getting, then create the AppVar at the very end.
*Sigh.*
Gloves.

GDB0 isn't dynamic either. It's just bytes reserved as data in the program itself.

But because GDB0 is not an actual OS  variable, I can store to the end of it without fear, and then I have Axe create the AppVar for me.

Just make sure you allocate sufficient memory for GDB0 at the beginning, since it's even harder to resize than an OS var.

GDB0 is not a memory location, its a pointer to a spot that is inside of your Axe program.  Whenever you create a string of data like [00000000]->GDB0, all Axe does is add this onto the end of your program.  GDB0 is just a number that points to where this data starts.  This means that there is only as much memory there as you first set it as, and writing past it without care is likely going to get you a corrupted program or worse.

Oohh. That's what all the buisness is about adding something to program memory.

So, after adding 6k bytes to program memory with Zeros(6000), how do I find the start of all those zeros? And then, at the end of the program, how do I create an AppVar with the appropriate length in Archive and copy all the used bytes to the AppVar?
Edit:
Anybody got any suggestions for additional drawing commands? I have Pxl-change, Line on/off, Circle on/off, and RectI. I can put in two more.

To find the location, do this.  Zeros(6000)->GDB1.  GDB1 now holds the start location of all the zeros.  To create an appvar, you could do something like this:

GetCalc("appvNAME",6000)->P
Copy(GDB1,P,6000
Archive "appvNAME"

Oh and for new ideas? Flood Fill >:D

What's flood fill? And do you have any suggestions for another command?

Layers, channels, alpha... J/k, but how about regular polygons? That should be easier than some other stuff :)

Filled circles...now that's a good idea! Paint Bucket would only be one command because there's only two colors, and it would thus essentially be a Bucket of Inverse.
Edit:
I have eaten my words. The circles were weird because I forgot the way order of operations works in Axe.
Edit 2:
Does anyone have an idea on how to implement a flood fill? I read the Wikipedia page, but I can't figure out a method of implementation that would work on the calculator.

Use L1 for a queue and make it wrap around to the beginning when it runs out of space. (Thanks to Builder for teaching me ;D)

I think someone needs to write a flood fill tutorial.  I've tried and failed, and I'd like to know how to do it without using too much memory. :)

I'll have to find that explanation I gave to Deep Thought and make it more detailed and post it :D
