Tomorrow:

[Alpha]+up/down also works in the programs and apps lists.
[Alpha]+letter works in apps menu
Press up at top of programs or apps list, or down at the bottom, to jump to the bottom or top respectively.  (is that the "list editor"?  I don't use those parts of TIOS much )

Request: ability to not show warning about program size exceeding the limit.
Or have it show on the second pass?

When that code is ran at 15mHz, the keys in some part or another don't detect properly and/or get mixed around.  I've been suspecting key delays, but I'm also told that getKey always goes in 6mHz   At 6 it runs fine, but I'll end up using the Full speed.
Also I can't use getKey=# , that messes up when you press an arrow key.

I'm seeing some possible optimizations in the code, but I'm wondering if I'll have to slow it down rather than speed it up to get it to work...

I went into Essence's source code, and found the part that doesn't work right at 15mHz.
Would there be a way to make this work at Full speed, and keep it somewhat as-is?  (or some more-optimized way )

Would it work to modify the pointer itself then?
(ie if I did L1→^oName would modifying {L1}r work)

The tank doesnt look right

Did you see the note, about how the turret's drawn separately?

Also I don't agree with the flying lobster. I understand you would like to put a meme in, but it kinda does not fit in :\

Yeah, idk why I put that in there tbh.  I think I had some empty slot in the drawing program and I didn't feel like shuffling stuff around so I just put some random thing there instead and didn't even bother to make it look presentable

If you need help on the plane I'd be happy to help

Sounds great!  I've been looking around but none of the sprites I've found give the impression that I'm going for--the wing appearing to go straight out to the side rather than pointing down. :|
E: just to clarify I've looked at other sprites/pics only for ideas on how to do something, like when I was trying to make the jeep I had google images open.  Not going around copying

While messing with the camera panning, the nature of it means it tends to swing around a lot.
Aside from that, the way I draw the background is only the side coming in is kept track of.  The side going off the screen is just sent off the screen.  When the direction changes, it just re-uses the vars from the other side, sometimes making unsightly one-pixel-tall skyscrapers etc.
As I was testing these two things came together and I noticed multiple obvious problems with the background, and don't feel like going in to fix it. (and tbh I hardly remember how it works anyway)

So, starting on custom backgrounds.  Eventually if I want some level diversity I'll end up doing them anyway so might as well start early on.
I don't really have any ideas for them except that I'm doing a city one, so this is my way of asking if people want to make some

I'm thinking of having two screenlengths (128 pixels wide, 28 tall) each of the two buffers (front/back, 3lvl grayscale), tho there's a change I might be flexible with it?
They're scrolled separately from each other, so they prolly shouldn't be dependent on having a building in a certain place or something..
Also it should be tilable horizontally.

If you want to make one or two or whatever than TIA, otherwise keep an eye out for a screenie (maybe beta if I get to debugging) sometime in the next week or so
