I feel like an idiot, somehow, when I first downloaded axe, I left out the documentation file and I have had the most trouble using axe. I just downloaded the update, read the file, and wow that helps sooooooooooooo much.

He's right. You will learn eventually never to download anything without documentation.

yeah I thought the all the documentation everybody was talking about was the optimizing tips and the general help.

The sad part though is that in some cases, when you download something, there's no doc provided or the doc is separate from the binaries x.x

Oh well, that happens ^^

And glad to see new update! I migth give the grayscale commands a try at one point. The way I see it it works like Reuben Quest but using overwrite logic instead of XOR, right?

About the program file access, does this means there's now a way to use the data from programs, such as external levels and map data? Can the data be retrieved directly from archive without unarchiving the program first? If it's possible to retrieve data from external programs, could someone post a routine on how to run sub programs?

Also it might be a good idea to include the stuff explained in http://ourl.ca/4050/84944 in the doc, because in the doc, there's no indication about v and prgm prefixes and the grayscale command isn't explained into as much details.

What I thought about is accessing archived data like tilemaps or NPC convos (text) from our main program, so basically, we can have games that takes more than 24 KB of memory by taking advantage of the Flash ROM.

While you can run executable code from another program, its way too dangerous, so I'm not going to support it right now.  But you can with assembly commands.  Anyway, the main usage is for reading and writing to programs.  Like if you made a new program with HELLO as the first line, you can read that just like you read an appvar, and also write over and modify it.  The advantage is that appvars are not easily editable.  So if you want to make an external level pack come with your game, you might want to consider using a program instead so levels can easily be edited.

I keep failing at this...

Okay, so I have:

Code: (prgmA) [Select]
:"RAWR
Code: (prgmB) [Select]
:"prgmA"->Str1
:Disp {Str1}>Frac
Why is this not working?

Methinks because strings in Basic programs are not the same as strings in compiled axe programs?  Not sure...

You can't display a program. You have to select it, then read the bytes of that line from it, then display THAT.

Am I right?

Take off the {}, its implied.  Also, remove >Frac, unless you just want the first character.
Also, I'm not entirely sure if the prgm token will show right, you may need to spell out p-r-g-m

You read the data, store it somewhere.  You take the data from where it is stored, and write it.
