Ok, so I'm looking at these trig routines, and so I see that the period is 256 and that the amplitude is 127. What does this mean? As in, how can I use them to behave the same way as the 'normal' trig functions? I suppose that.....it's like a new 'measurement' of angles, in addition to radians and degrees....?

So if 1 period in radians = 2pi
1 period in degrees = 360 = 180/pi times radian measure

1 period in Axe = 256 = 256/360 times degree measure = 256(180)/360pi times radian measure = 128/pi times radian measure....or 32/45 times degree measure

amplitude in degrees=1
amplitude in Axe= 127 times 1

So does this mean that I should take my number , multiply by 32/45, take the sine of it, and divide by 127? But then, that would probably give me 0 all the time since Axe rounds down...

Whats the smallest way of writing bits? (I don't care if it's Axe or Asm(HEX) type of thing)

So far the only thing I've come up with is {Pointer}±e^(7-Bit#)→{Pointer}Use + for writing 1 to the bit, or - for writing 0 to the bit. The only problem is that writing 0 or 1 to a bit that already contains 0 or 1 respectively, will mess everything up.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Well.
Hi.

Besides calc stuff, I also swim competitively, play viola, and am working on my Eagle Scout service project.

A little about my coding career: I got my first calc in fall 2007. Since I grew up with limited console and gameboy access, I thought graphing calculators were about the coolest thing ever. Soon I went to work programming them, (in BASIC), though you can see from my ticalc.org profile, some of it isn't quite so impressive lol. Oh well, we were all noobs at one point or another. Anyway, I coded up until around early 2009, where my BASIC coding culminated in this. For some reason though, I stopped coding for a while, due to lack of inspiration and due to the combinations of the limitations of BASIC and my own impatience.

Once Axe got featured on ticalc.org, though, I found omnimaga and quickly got back into calcs. The rest of it, you guys have been around to see.

These days I stick primarily to Axe and have lost what little skill I had in BASIC, though I still know (hopefully) more than the average calc user

Just wanted to point out that in the member level thing, for level 5 members it says Next: 350, while I believe that level 6 is only at 300 posts (ASHBAD_ALVIN and thepenguin77 are both lvl 6 with <350 posts)

Ok...after spending an hour on my battle engine for my current project, I have a lot of questions that I hope I can get some help with. Thanks in advance

1. Files: Does having a file open cause any significant issues? It seems to me that if you can't call subroutines with file open...and that they make the program rather glitchy in general. Is there a way to "close" files?

2. Lowercase letters: Let's say you want to create a database for the different items in a game. So let's say you wanted the first few bytes to be the name of the item, then how much it raises your HP by, and then how much it costs in the store. Example Data(^TN,^TE,^TT,^TH,^TA,^TM, 9000^r, 9000^r, ^TT,^TI,^T-,^T8,^T4,^T+, 42^r, 1337^r)->GDB1 So then to display the name of your item if the item # is in variable I, you'd write
For(A,0,5)
Text(A*5,0,{I*12+A+GDB1}>Char
End


But now let's say that you want to use lowercase letters, which are two-byte tokens. I tried this:
Data(^TN^r,^Te^r,^Tt^r,^Th^r,^Ta^r,^Tm^r, 9000^r, 9000^r, ^TT^r,^Ti^r,^T-^r,^T8^r,^T4^r,^T+^r, 42^r, 1337^r)->GDB1 ...
For(A,0,5)
Text(A*5,0,{I*18+(A*2)+GDB1}^r>Char
End


..except it didn't work. Any ideas?

edit: looking at the documentation again and thinking about the >Tok command. That might be it

and 3. This whole data and code limit thing. So let me know if this is right, because I'm really confused:

Nostub: only up to 8192 bytes of executable code. Data isn't code, but since Axe mixes subroutines and code, it's possible that your >9000 byte program with 2kb of data won't work.
Shell: only up to 8811 bytes of executable code. Data isn't code, but since Axe mixes subroutines and code, it's possible that your >9000 byte program with 2kb of data won't work.
App: only up to 8811 bytes of executable code. As much data as you can fit into the app is OK
