looks nice
you're right, though, the speed is painful
also, i would suggest not clearing the homescreen after a unit conversion, and not having parentheses for prefixes (though i don't know how possible that is)

I have to clear the homescreen because I use Output( to display the answer, and there's no way to tell what line I'm on except with *sigh* ASM.

Guess I could use Disp, but then textwrapping would be a nightmare.

I like how you also included Google's little "answer to life/universe/everything)

Had to add that. I found that answer, anyway.

edit: do you think you need parentheses at all? i can't really see why they need to be there for clarity ( i mean, (7 (in))=17.78((c)m))) is kind of silly
and i can't think of why they'd be needed for coding purposes...although i may be wrong about that

edit2 didnt read your whole first post. so, parentheses ARE needed...damn

Parentheses actually makes life easier for the program. It's kind of hard to explain now, but basically, if there were no parentheses, I would have to add a lot more duplicate coding, making the size approximately double. Though it would make the program a little faster, I guess...

edit3 lol i'm a little "submit button" happy today...

I do that all the time.

what if you ran another routine that's kind of like a "find and delete" to kill parentheses? although it might make the program even slower...and also tightening the user's syntax to allow for spaces to be cushions over parentheses might be viable...

What do you mean by "cushions"?

The way spaces are implemented now, they're pretty much ignored. I'm actually taking advantage of the fact that the program adds so many unnecessary parentheses here; because of this, the user can add as many spaces as he wants and they would all be counted as implicit multiplication.

Also, it's a pain that variables can't be stored in-program... although the only way for that to be allowed would be with ASM..sigh..guess you can't have everything

Yeah...but what kind of "variables" would you want to store? If you think it's a good idea to store the answer or the original expression, it'd be pretty easy to add that in at the end.

EDIT: Whoa... I just realized I had a habit of making REALLY LONG POSTS.

If you did do something that would make it faster but you'd have repeditive code you could always make either a sub-program that is recalled or put a Lbl at the top of the program with the code.

I was looking through the program, and I thought, hmm... wouldn't it be easier if you knew all the variables calculator can accept? Like, you can implement scrollable menu that shows what unit you want to put in, and what output unit you want, something like itouch menu.
I think that will lessen the user making syntax error that the calculator doesn't recognize and lessen the frustration, them going like, 15 In into m instead of 15 in into m.

His whole goal is to try to make it like the Google thing, I believe. Which has you type everything in.

I nominate the 5th of November so that all will remember.

I second this

Well I don't think there is a real abbreviation for slugs but ya I'm sure "slg" would work. Glad to hear you got the pound issue fixed. What did you end up doing?

Quick Side Question: Is ROM the same thing as the Archive?

Oh! It's those tokens. I thought the first to were multiplication and addition Now I know which ones. Thanks

Hmmm, interesting. I don't know if this would be an issue with part of it but could possibly some of the detection be off since front and back are 8*8 while the side views are 7*8? I haven't gone over your code to see what kind of collision detection you're using but that might be part of it but I don't know. Other than that though I don't know, still need to look at the code.
