I'm starting to make a program that would let you do arithmetic in a different base then base 10. (For example, you could do calculation in any base from 2 (Binary) to 16 (Hexadecimal). Is anyone interested in this kind of thing? I'm only wondering because I just want to know if I should make it user-friendly or not, as it is really a training for a larger project that I'm not going to disclose atm. Don't worry, I'm still working on my other projects, but PIRATES! is stalled/slowly moving until xLIB 0.6 is released. The BASIC RPG is more of a in math-class thing to code, and this won't take too long.

So, anyone interested?

EDIT: Name of prog is now Base-X, because you can change base...

If you make it, only make is 2,4,6,8,10,12,16,18, and 20 that way it'll have a nice range, but odd bases are harder to work with

Oh, I dunno, my method works for all bases 2-10. I'm working on one that does 11-16 (17-20 seems unuseble for any application).

include a binary to hex quick look up table. 4 binary digits equals one hex letter, and such a look up table would be useful.

Well, converting between bases usually is more taxing than just going with base 10 to begin wtih (for calcs at least). I do have some base manipulation programs (2-36, operations with diff bases, times table maker for bases 2-36 (takes forever after ~base 12 though)).

@calcul - Mmmm, I'll try, we will see, this will be put on hold if we/I do infact make a xLIB shell (which I might not). The main idea for the program is to be able to do basic arithmetic in different bases.

Ok, so I need some help. Does anyone know of a good way to store whatever was just typed as a string. The method I have right now works, but there's got to be a faster way.

CODE

ec1
If Z=92
Then
Text(V,W,1
"1"->Str1
End
c2

Problem is that it's graphscreen, and the user needs to push the button and see it onscreen, just like if they were just using the calc for math.

Design your own keyboard?

I will send you the program tonight or tommorrow BC.

one way is to store a string of all letters. Then correspond each letter to a key press. This could get tricky though...

@calcul - do you mean that sarcastically?

@tifreak8x - Thanks many

@dragon_lance - Mmm, it would probably be slower as well

Sounds interesting. Something fun to play with to say the least. This will be for the z80 calcs right?
