There's all sorts of tools to help with coding (sprite editors, base converters, quadratic solvers etc), yet some people, especially newer members, might not be aware of them.

What tools do you use/have you made to make your programming easier, faster, etc?


I'll start..

Apps:
zStart - Run programs from homescreen, Assign X key combination to Y program, Label jump menu in program editor, Automatically setting defaults on ram clear, and a bunch of other stuff
Omnicalc - Entries menu (pre-MP oses only), Ram restore (Extra ram calcs only), Quick apps

Programs:
zascii - go to a number and it gives you the respective >char and >tok outputs
zkey - press a key, it gives out a number
zsprt - modified version of Deep Thought's sprite editor*
clrscrpt - works with omnicalc and zstart together, simple basic program that calls mentioned ram restore on ram clear

*modifications are:
 - [mode] to switch between 3-lvl and 4-lvl gray
 - blinky lines (for science)
 - Pt-Mask() and Pt-Mask()^r on the right, background cycles

Attached Axe programs are source, Basic program is Basic program

The article said it was a private school

Derp, only searched for the word "public"

4609: You spend about an hour trying to figure out how to type colors and formatting into omnomirc
4610: You succeed

Also worth noting is the "User's Guide" is more of a "Getting Started" guide imo. After reading it through a few times, personally I haven't found much of a need to come back to it except when introducing others to the language (the commands list, however..)

The best teacher is experience

I guess it has [wikipedia]USB_On-The-Go#OTG_mini_plugs[/wikipedia] like on TI calculators. The CX comes with a similar cable, and both ends fit.

Screwed around with it a bit more, evidently it wants the slash at the end. Take off the slash and it doesn't work

I wonder how exactly he connected that mouse. If it was as simple as plugging USB mouse in it.

That's basically what that thing is. Note the brand on the mouse, some stuffs.
And the driver seems to actually work with multiple devices at the same time, I had a mouse and keyboard working fine together

I can confirm that this works on the CX
(MX anywhere, through unifying receiver)
Edit: can the scroll wheel be implemented as up/down keypresses? Maybe back/forward buttons can be Ctrl+9/3 (pgUp/pgDn)?
Edit2: same problem as previous post - mouse won't go into titlebar

Edit3: got both mouse and keyboard (k360) working at the same time

Edit4: another request: moving the mouse activates the mouse on-calc so we don't have to swipe the touchpad
