Before a CAS could be made, the following needs to occur:
1) String -> FP number
2) FP number -> String
3) Display FP number on arbitrary display buffer at certain position (pref. #2)
4) ???
I have some WIP Axe code to create FP numbers from supplied ASCII strings and store them to OS vars. Currently, scientific notation support is non-existent and it only works for real numbers. I also have a WIP routine for converting FP numbers to ASCII strings for displaying, but only real numbers are supported and scientific notation support is currently iffy at best.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

I have seen some AXE programmes using strings to export images or tilemaps. How is that possible?
You just have to manipulate the data correctly.  Here's the basic premise:
Set up the string.  This is done in a similar method to setting up a Picture, which I detailed here.
Then loop through the data for the sprite and convert this.  Each nibble (generally) contains one hex character (each byte contains two), so this must be converted to 0-9 or A-F.  Switch the number to its ASCII equivalent, which is shown in this chart:
Code: [Select]
L0 equ 030h
L1 equ 031h
L2 equ 032h
L3 equ 033h
L4 equ 034h
L5 equ 035h
L6 equ 036h
L7 equ 037h
L8 equ 038h
L9 equ 039h
LcapA equ 041h
LcapB equ 042h
LcapC equ 043h
LcapD equ 044h
LcapE equ 045h
LcapF equ 046h

So yeah, that's the basic premise.  I hope it helps. :)

Bug fix! (See first post)
Also, I started creating a tutorial, so I included that too.

Update. Changes:
solve() becomes solve()ʳ
solve(x) returns a pointer to the floating-point number represented by x.
Examples:
float{solve(Select("varA"))}➔A
float{solve(solve(ᵀ+,Select("varA"),Select("varB")))}➔C

Is it just me or do the code boxes only say "array"?

I think it depends on the browser. I am using Chrome and it works fine for me :/

@Taranok: Welcome here. And yea, I think it's a browser issue. Works fine in Firefox too.

I notice your aciom use Select() command, but it's the same tokens than Axe parser command, is there no conflict? ???

My savior! ;D

However...I don't see a way to display the numbers in FP format (complex or not), and I need that before I use this. :P

WARNING: untested code

I think the following code should do the trick:
Code: [Select]
:Text(X,Y)
:Asm(7DEFF74B)

My projects
 - The Lost Survivors (Unreal Engine) ACTIVE [GameCommandoSquad main project]
 - Oxo, with single-calc multiplayer and AI (axe) RELEASED (screenshot) (topic)
 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:
- A first person shooter with a polygon-based 3d engine. (z80, will probably be recoded in axe using GLib) ON HOLD (screenshot)
 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)
 - a minecraft game in axe DEAD (source code available)
 - a 3D racing game (axe) ON HOLD (outdated screenshot of asm version)

Test it, and I'll get back to you, thanks. I don't want a RAM clear again. :P

RAM clears are fun. :D

Well, I wouldn't say "fun", but indeed, I use zStart and RAM Clears don't annoy me at all ;)
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I often clear RAM myself since I use it actually.
