I've thought about making an SE.  I'll take a look at it later, I promise :)

Mouse support like that would really rule.

You could always do it for a contest entry if you decide against doing something with Mosaic. :)

EDIT: relaying Kerm response to Ztrumpet:

Quote from: KermMartian
Please relay back to him that Doors CS supports unlimited programs, but with the catch of a maximum of 255 folders or programs per folder.  You can have 12 folders on the desktop, each of which have 200 programs in them, and another 200 programs on the desktop for a total of 2612 programs and folders, for example, and Doors CS will be perfectly happy. :) Of course, the VAT would take up almost your entire RAM, but Doors CS would be fine with it.
This is per folder, right?  To clarify, can I have more than 255 programs on the desktop?  If not, then how do I sort them into folders?
Also, do you lose your folder data if you get a RAM clear?
Thanks Kerm! ;D

If you have more than 255 on your desktop, only the 1st 255 will be displayed. To display the remaining, start sorting the current ones into folders and they will gradually appear on the desktop in the place of those you already sorted.
And yes, your folder data will stay even after a RAM clear, since it is one of the first features that Kerm implemented in his betas.

Yeah one of my favorite too. I hated when getting RAM clears if I had to re-sort everything again x.x

A lot of people did, I got a lot of complaints about that.  I was very happy that it seems to work well and people are satisfied.  The only downside is that there's a bit of lag creating the backup if you have a lot of programs, but it's only a second or two.

I think it is fine. 2 seconds is ok IMHO considering it's a calc and a lot of programs :).

Remember the old MirageOS 1.1 days, back when it took 40 minutes to sort 200+ programs? :P

Awesome!  I can't wait to start using Doors again! ;D

So the DCSB Libs are coming along smoothly, the first 13 are planned out, and I've started to build them.  Doors CS will be using the sum() token as its special token, and you can of course still use sum() for its normal purpose as well.  First successes with sum(6), which is complete and tested!

Code: [Select]
PROGRAM:SUM6TEST
:{45,32,1
:While 2≠Ans(3
:sum(6,Ans(1),Ans(2
:Text(1,1,"YOU CLICKED AT (",Ans(1),",",Ans(2),") [",Ans(3),"]
:End

This program will run the mouse, notifying whenever you click, until you right-click somewhere.

:O

wow, so much possibilities with this. Now it will be much easier to make strategy games and menus for some games.

Will it be possible to use a custom mouse cursor?

IIRC it uses the cursor you use for DCS (which you can customize).
If you mean having the program specify the cursor at runtime, that may be more difficult (Kerm?)

Yeah I meant the later. It might be nice for certain games actually. For strategy games that are rather modern, I think the main cursor would do the job well, though, unless you got dark terrains. For older ones, it would be nice if we could use a sword, for example ;D

That's a really cool idea DJ!  Kerm, is this possible? ;D

Actually, there's a GUI stack item for this, so all you will need to do is push that custom cursor (it takes the cursor, a mask, and a rectangular area onscreen in which to use that particular cursor) using sum(7), then run the mouse with sum(12).
