wow nice, smaller than I expected. This means there are big chances that the first public release will fit in one single page, right? But again, the title screen will take 768 bytes so just that will add a lot x.x

Nah, I can always compress it.  I haven't even optimized my regular code yet either.  I have a feeling that the parser will be a one page app until maybe very close to the FINAL release.  If I do need to expand it beyond a page, I will include a bunch of helper programs, manuals, and demos in the extra space.  If not, the helper programs will be in a separate app.

Oh if you can compress it more I guess it should be fine then ^^

I personally don't mind double-page apps, I was just surprised it was so small, still ^^

Yeah I agree with DJ. App Size doesn't really bother me much since it's in Archive, but then again, if it manages to stay a 1 page App vs. a 2 page app, then I can have more games on my calc :)

For a compiler 8KBs seems really small.

Agreed.
Although I can't see why size is a problem...

DAWG is like... over 94000 bytes.

NO OVER 9000 JOKES.

Yeah same here. I think what people would not like is if the app was like 7 or 8 pages, though, because then they can barely hold any tools and game backups on their calc if they use a regular 83+, especially if they need MirageOs.

Keep in mind, though, that if the final app size is like 64 KB, it won't be that bad compared to if it was an interpreter. FastRPL and BBCBasic interpreters are like 4 pages each, I think, but the problem is that you need them to run games made with them. Since Axe is compiled, the player won't even need Axe Parser on his calc to play your game.

Wow, I had no idea Axe will be so small!  This is really cool!  My vote is for the 2 page App including the helper programs, but if the parser still fits in one page, then I'd make two versions, on with two Apps and one with two Pages.  Does this sound possible? ;D

A page is just over 16000 bytes, and Applications can only be in multiples of these pages.  That's why Apps are always in multiples of 16384 bytes. :D

Oh ok, can you have an app less than 16384 bytes?

no, you have to fill each app that takes up less than that with just zeros so that it equals 16384 bytes

Player is right. :)  Even if you only have 20 bytes of code in the App, it would still be 16384 bytes. ;D

Hey, i need a bit of help, considering this is baffling me to the point my head exploding.
Code: [Select]
.MUSICAL
[0000000038444438     //These are all the different sprites.  They are actually on one line, i just
040404043C444438      //spread them out so you can see them
040404043C7C7C38
040605043C7C7C38
040605063D7C7C38
0000000000000000]→Pic1
4→{L1}            //Initializes stuff not really important to this part of the program.
2→{L1+1}        //Well, it was.  Then i deleted the part that used it in frustration
5→{L1+2}
2→{L1+3}
50→{L1+4}


DiagnosticOff                    //This is the happy little intro screen that works perfectly fine
Repeat getKey                  //It just displays random notes with a title.  I like it :)
For(X,0,11
For(Y,0,7
Pt-Off(X*8,Y*88*(rand/13107)+Pic1
End
End
DispGraph
Output(2,0,"Unreal Music"
Output(4,1,"Notator"
End


Lbl MN
ClrDraw
Pt-Off(0,0,Pic1         //This is a remanant I left for example.  No matter what i put, it will not draw any of the sprites
DispGraph                //(I have tried all the ones I defined above)  Nor will any of the other sprite routines work.
Output(0,1,"O"         //This is just to show, this still works.  So does the horizontal line drawing routine which used to be here...
While 1
0→K
Repeat K                //Yes, i know this is a lot of pointless code.  Remember that deleting i mentioned above? this is what remains
getKey→K
ReturnIf K=15
End
End
.....(There's more, but the rest doesnt matter)

So can any body tell me what i'm doing wrong, i f i'm doing anything wrong, cause i really dont think i am... :(
