Or maybe you could do some hyper optimizations and have it return the String that it displays.  Like Ln(0,0,"HI")->Str1 would display the string and then store it into Str1.  You could display a string at two different locations Ln(0,0,e^(0,0,"GAME")) ;D

Not a bad idea, but (sarcastic) how often does that get used ;D  I would do it if people wanted to use it often enough

I'd use it if it was a feature. :)

There's one.  Anyone else?

Oooh ooh oooooh me me me me!  Seriously though displaying and storing text on the same line is pretty awesome in my opinion ^^

Wait, you mean you aren't using a font hook?

Like Builderboy said: It's for speed and any-size characters.  In addition, it allows for multiple fonts in one program.

Ln() it is then.  For those who really want to use Ln() afterwards, they can turn off the parser hook inside of their Ti-Basic program.

I thought about people who want to use Output() as well as Ln().  For people who want to use the regular small font as well as a customized small font, I'm thinking that e^( will be the token for customized Text(, so that Text( can still be used.
* Deep Thought likes that idea too. It matches the theme ;D

ln() sounds good. I use math very often with output statements.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Actually, I can do displaying and storing text at the same time.  HOWEVER, I'm afraid I won't be able to have text displayed on both screens at the same time, such as ln(0,0,e^(1,1, "THE GAME")), not when using custom fonts.  Sorry :(

ln() definitely. I'd die without in-line math in my Output(). :(
Same. I never made a BASIC homescreen-only game that only uses constants as Output arguments. I voted ln().

I have it! This is a hook I just made (with one random function, one cool function, and one really cool function). The trick though is that if you do ln(3), it will return the actual answer. However, ln(0,0) will execute the first function, not ln(

-The functions are 2 key related functions and an advanced function that lets the user edit a program or variable at the byte level.
-This is built off from one of my actual programs that use the int( token, but I changed it to ln( for this purpose

Not only do I like the idea, I'm incorporating it!

By the way, in your experience, do you find that Ti-Basic programs run slightly slower with the parser hook on, or is the difference unnoticable?

This difference is not noticeable from what I can see. Maybe a hundred thousandths of a second slower by my calculation... :D

It depends of the app. Omnicalc 1.1 or lower slowed down BASIC programs by half. 1.2 isn't as bad, xLIB is less noticeable and I think the others are even less bad in terms of slow down.
