Ok, but just so you know, the black box will have to change size in order to account for different sized characters

The thing about a vertical bar, would it seem like when you type, its expected to behave like on a computer, where the text is inserted instead of being overwriten, do you think that would be ok? I still want it to behave like the TiOS

Yeah i plan to have that as an option  Ok so i have the non monospaced fonts working, so it looks a lot better, but the cursor now looks weird because it is always 4 spaces wide, no matter what the width of the character it is on. What kind of cursor might look good? A black box like the TiOS? An underline? I vertical line before the character? Invert? What do you guys think?

Maybe i could have a couple different options, like
regular
Confirm
15 character confirm
and then an 89 style switch where clear does the clearing from that point and onward

Yeah that sounds like a good idea Like maybe if you have 15 or more characters in a line it asks you to confirm. Currently I have a cursor that is working and able to move around and explore the program. I had to take out indenting though, and once i get program reading/writing finished ill work on putting that back in. I also am expirmenting with non mono-spaced fonts but its not decided yet.

I am most likely going to keep all menus, controls, and menus the same as in the regular TiOS, just so i dont confuse people or experienced speed coders.

Heh, then i would have to write a small font editor *and* a large font editor  well at least one thing is for sure, using line wrap on the small font wont help map makers, so i am officially doing the one line scrolling thing

Heh, right now there isnt even any editing features. I am still trying to get it to be able to display the programs correctly, as well as scroll up and down. I am working on some subs to help me, like displayToken, diplsyLine, displayScreen, newLine, moveUp, and moveDown.

Well you still want it to wrap through 16 characters in width, so normal font might be preferable. Its not that important right now though, i'll worry about it once i get all the other things working

Ah thats a good point, hmmmmm maybe there will be an option to edit specific lines in the large font

Hey guys i was trying to get line wrapping working correctly, but it turns out that it is very difficult to get right... Then i had an idea, what if instead of wrapping down to another line, it would just continue offscreen? Like if you had a giant list representing some level data, it wouldnt take up multiple lines, it would just be really long, and then you could scroll from left to right. What do you guys think?

IMO the definition of a basic program is the same as how a calculator defines Basic programs. For the calculator, there is only Basic and Assembly. Hybrid arises when you mix the two types of programs, but besides that, Basic is basic, and assembly is assembly Thats how i see it. (The lowercase argument is a good one. If a program uses a single lowercase letter, i dont think it should suddenly be not pure basic)

Yeah im going to plan to change the catalogue a lot. It will remove all the functions that you can acess from other menus and add all the greek and special characters. There also might be an alternate menu for special characters.
As for editing large files, it currently only takes up 2000 bytes so it should be able to load any file that can fit in Ram allongside it. And i hopeo be able to port it to an app later on.

One thing I wonder, tho: For people wanting to make extremly large games, how will they be handled?
what exactly did you mean by that? Like memory wise or what?
