I would just recommend to write one or two subroutines which convert real number to string and vice versa

yes, and it uses 3 colors? white-gray-black?
how many colors are going to be used for grayscale games in Axe?
I think 3 is enough, but perhaps 4/5 could be nice/usefull

yes, that's true.
but if you want to use ur asm prog within a BASIC prog, than it's easy to store some settings in a list, or in Ans.
BTW, In BASCI you cán edit the AppVars, when you convert them to a program (just one or two bytes different). But I assume that will not happen very often. And perhaps u sometimes just want to be able to check your game loading system, so then it is just usefull that lists or whatever can be accessed, i think...

My opinion: AppVars are usefull for game saves, and lists/Ans are/is usefull for settings to use in tour asm prog.

I almost completely agree with you, except that accessing user variables is perhaps a little more helpful

Ok, I made a couple of routines for anyone who wants them, the first one is like TI-Basic's input command, the second one displays a number without the spaces.
Input:

Code: [Select]

:.Input
:0→F→B
:Repeat F
:0→K
:Repeat K
:Output(0,{E844B},'?'►Frac
:getKey→K=9→F
:End
:K-1/10→A
:4-A→A
:If A=1
:K^10-4*3+A→A
:End
:If A=2
:K^10-6*3+A→A
:End
:If A=3
:K-1^10-7*3+A→A
:End
:If K=33
:0→A
:End
:If K≠9
:B*10+A→B→A
:sub(A)
:End
:End
:Return
This is the second part, it is used in the Input routine.

Code: [Select]

:Lbl A
:[000000→Pic99
:A→{Pic99}r
:If {Pic99}r>9
:1→{Pic99+2
:End
:If {Pic99}r>99
:2→{Pic99+2
:End
:If {Pic99}r>999
:3→{Pic99+2
:End
:If {Pic99}r>9999
:4→{Pic99+2
:End
:For(A,0,{Pic99+2
:Output(1+{Pic99+2}-A,{E844B},{Pic99}r^10+48►Frac
:{Pic99}r/10→{Pic99}r
:End


It's not working for me!
the r's are [2nd][Angle]->3:^r ?
the E's are [2nd][EE] ?
further I just typed everything in my calc as you posted it, but at 26% I get a 'BAD SYMBOL' error...
can you please guess what could've gone be wrong?

Also I think so far he is doing a good job at Axe. The goal is to make a language that is similar to TI-BASIC but not necessarly 100% similar and mostly game-oriented. It might be difficult to implement everything but at the rate this is progressing, I am confident he'll succeed in implementing a lot more.

I agree completely with you. Axe is realy a great 'invention.'

That said let's try to remain polite and respectful towards other people, though. That goes for both regular users and new people, but in case of new people, if they are rude or overly negative on their first few forum posts and did not even contribute anything else in the TI community so far, it is easier for their image to be tarnished.

Yes, I know, but when I typed my third post, I did not intend to be rude or someting, but it sounded rude because my english is not that good you know...
Please forgive me? :'(

yes, I'am sorry, I've chosen the wrong words.
I just only meant to say that I would like to know why he assumes that "the feature will be built-in Axe pretty soon."

I think I mentioned I was was going to add it in a few threads before.

I'm also very sorry I haven't read the entire topic before posting this question, but it seemed to me to take lots of time to do that (yes I'm a little lazy )

I've another question: is the command Input going to do the same thing as in BASIC, or will there be an other layout, or perhaps the possibility to draw the input-text in small font?

I also would like the ability to use ElseIf:

++ ElseIf
Also, speaking of ++, I would like to see ++ and -- implemented, and possibly +=, -=, *=, /=.

I've been meaning to write another routine for accessing user variables.  I'll post it when I get around to it.

OK, Nice!

*LC hopes to hear from you soon*
