It has always bothered me a bit that Cemetech echoes post notifications in chat whenever I make a small edit to touch up some wording or spelling. And on the flip side, it bothers me that I can make a substantial edit on Omnimaga without people noticing it.

What if a checkbox was added to the edit screen that allowed you to specify that an edit is an important edit? If it is unchecked, the edit goes through with no notification in any chat; if it is checked, an edit notification is produced, and perhaps the thread is also bumped.

Is it possible to have a scrollbar in the program editor?

I imagine that counting the number of lines that a program occupies (taking into account wrapping) is an expensive operation. Combined with the fact that this is a pretty superficial feature, I'm probably going to guess that it wouldn't be a very high priority. But who knows?

But if you wanted the ability to know approximately where you are in a file, perhaps I can suggest an alternate, possibly less expensive solution? It might be potentially possible that the "PROGRAM" text at the top of the editor can be replaced with a line number display, perhaps of the form "Ln ????" or "???/???" (the second number is the total).

Oh, and on the topic of modifying the title line in the program editor, what about an option to go DCS-mode and remove it entirely?

Skin/screen questions/comments:

• Is there a reason why the 84+CSE screen does not use the source 4:3 aspect ratio?
• Related to above, can the 84+CSE screen be accurately placed onto the calculator?
• Now that skin scaling is a thing, can we lose the unnecessary gray border space around the calculator in the skin? It would allow for the emulator to be scaled up larger. Perhaps you could even go full Y2K and make the window just a floating calculator.
• What scaling method do you use to render the screen? Because the black and white calculator screen upscaling at sizes other than 200% is... not great. Perhaps upscale the image to a multiple of 100% size with no interpolation that is at least as large as the target resolution and then downscale to the target resolution? And could we get the faux LCD individual pixel pattern back?
• EDIT: Also, the detached LCD for black and white calculators seems to have some problems now.

Also, every

Code: [Select]

If E<<0
...
can be optimized like that :

Code: [Select]

If E.32768
.it is the plot   .   token

(this is mainly a speed optimization, don't know if it will save some bytes).

Anyway, seems pretty good  version of Flappy

The fastest and smallest way to check if a number is negative is this:

If E//32768
.Negative
End

Random side note: The idea of //32768 is a bit unsettling to me, because technically you shouldn't be able to perform a signed 16-bit divide by 32768 because 32768 isn't a valid signed two's complement 16-bit number.

Does using #ExprOn in a program affect axiom too ?
I mean, if an axiom use the axe multiplication and the program calling axiom command have #ExprOn, does the multiplication will be optimize for speed too ?

That's a good question... Honestly, I'm not sure. If I had to guess, I'd say that because of how Axioms are parsed, it would depend on the optimization state at the end of the main source program. Either that, or it simply ignores the optimization state (although if you use multiplication yourself in a speed-optimized block, that should force the Axiom to as well).

Following the popularity of the sweeping TwitchPlaysPokemon fad, RunerBot wanted to get in on the fun. But it wanted more control over the inputs so decided to control a game all for itself! Of course, it's just a stupid bot and doesn't know the strategy of playing Pokemon, so it isn't very good and provides randomized inputs. But it's very fast, and currently playing three runs at once, each at about 30x speed! Will it ever make it to Viridian City in one of them? Who knows!

Watch RunerBot supply pseudorandom inputs to three runs of Pokemon Red at a collective speed of over 9000% here: http://www.twitch.tv/runer112

I had trouble sending Pokemon Silver, as well. But I pulled out the good old silverlink and sure enough it worked, although it took about half an hour.
