Right, a horizontal line can be written like this:

:Lbl HL
:*12->B
:For(A,0,11)
:255->{B+A+L6}
:End
:Return

Called like this:
:Xsub(HL)

Quigibo, the program list goes incredibly slowly now that you're alphabetically sorting (I have well over 100 programs, I'd say). Could you at least add pressing letter keys to jump to the letter?

How about just making Axe programs with headers?

That wouldn't fix the speed issue though.

Hmm... is it possible to sort the symbol table alphabetically before stepping through it?  That way everything would already be in order and it wouldn't have to be sorted as its going through the list.  Is there a bcall for that?  If not, is it as simple as swapping the entries, or are there other dependent pointers I have to change?

There is an assembly program for that already and the source code is available.
Here it goes:

I myself like this solution best...
It seems like there would be less clutter. :D

While we're on the topic of headers, would you prefer large advanced headers or a simple one.  What I mean by that, is that you can store other information in the header like what shell it should compile to, the name of the output file, some setting to optimize more for speed or size, and other stuff.

But that information doesn't have to be in the source file, you can enter all that data into Axe Parser itself and it will save your settings so you don't have to re-enter that information every time you compile.

I kind of prefer the later since the big headers will just be more to learn and increase source file sizes, but what do you all think about it?

Another thing I was thinking about is maybe instead of a header, you just have to end the program name with a "theta" or something.  This doubles as both a header AND it prevents you from trying to output to a file with the same name.  So if you're making a pacman game, then the source file would be "PACMANθ" and it would compile to "PACMAN" as the output.  You would probably also have the option of naming it something else in case you need 8 letters or something.

The way I would personally like it is simple one-line headers (something akin to MirageOS headers in Basic, but not exactly the same) and then options in the App to control other options and program output.  And i have seen games (such as factory theta for example) that do end in theta, so thats not an entirely foolproof method.

I think the same as Builderboy...

I think a heading like
:"AXE
would be sufficient and there would be other options in the App as well.

Well any MirageOS program called Axe would show up then :P
Maybe just 'Axe? Since ' is the symbol for comments anyway?
