Yeah, I know we have a lot of computer-based TI-BASIC editors already, but in my defense, I had an assignment to make something in C# and I decided to make an editor with a themable, extensible, and more efficient syntax highlighting.

It currently doesn't do any converting to or from 8XPs yet (so the Open and Save buttons don't actually work), but it does have a complete highlighting engine that I can easily add more themes (color schemes) and modes (language syntaxes) to. The TI-BASIC rulesheet is also automatically updated when the editor starts up (it's that UTR thing I'd been working on), so it always keeps up-to-date in case there are new additions or bugfixes.

Nice! You could make that it detects if it is a Axe program/Grammer program and change the highlighter.

Maybe a option to turn auto-detect on. When tokenizing be also sure that Axe and grammer have token hooks

Thanks

And what I'm personally proud of is that it only updates the text that actually got changed, so the editor won't slow down at all no matter how long your program is.

That's good. But loading times could take a while

About two seconds for a 20 KB program, which is about as large as possible in practical terms. (That's nothing compared to, say, gedit )

BTW, could you make then files that are to large to fit into the RAM of that calc? xD

Of course—you can do that with any editor. Theoretically the largest program that can fit in an 8XP file is 65,518 bytes long

Oh wait, I got two seconds after disabling the highlighter

It's actually more like five minutes ... so yeah, it is slow. Whoops.

@ Deep Thought: do you have the nescessary skills to make this (not nescecerally (spelled weong) with the highlighter but it can be if you want) for ipod touch? (has to be cydia) i'll pay the costs, and should it then be possible to have a compiler and decompiler for the .8xp files?

Or maybe it first highlits the visible lines and then continues highlight in some other routine where you can also edit while it does all the other lines.
