Do you write down some notes while coding? Sometimes it's a good practice to do so, even if on paper. It can help a lot when your code gets very huge, along with the comments inside the code.

Yeah, every single subroutine I have I list the input, output, flag states, and sometimes a description of what should happen.  It wasn't like that before this update though becasue before, I had only done this to about 50% of the subroutines.  Now its about 90%.  Does the new version compile your code alright?

EDIT: Nvm the 0.2.2 post was edited. I am used to new post every update XD

I'll put new version on my calc later

EDIT 2: UPDATE! It worked! My program also shrunk by 1 byte :P

It might be worthy to note that writing to L2 while in MirageOS crashes your calc :( Maybe it should throw an error when compiling for Mirage?

I'll put a note in the readme, that's a good idea.  But I won't block its usage because it might be useful for programs that need to change MOS variables as part of the program.

It might be good to put a warning about Mirage using that, but again I'm not sure. What would be the right code to use to prevent such crash from happening upon exiting the game?

For me the crash happened immediately, not just when exiting the program, which is weird o.O what is Mirage doing during execution? And why is it that Mirage can run any asm program that fits in RAM but the TiOS can only run up to 8126 bytes?

Mirage sets up an interrupt table with it's own interrupt routine.  So if you happen to write over that, bad code can execute in the middle of your program whenever an interrupt is called.

Ouch x.x

bad, then. And I used L2 sometimes x.x

Are others safe in Mirage, though?

Yeah, all other areas are safe from mirage, but may not be safe for other things.  All of those specifics are documented in the commands list.

Yeah I know about those. I try to be careful to which one I choose before storing stuff. If I don't need the buffer, I might go use L6 sometimes, for example. I just need to clear the buffer afterward.

I love how Axe lets you manipulate some memory stuff like you would do in ASM but without having to learn about the whole ASM syntax and register stuff. In other words, you can do some stuff as easily as TI-BASIC, and for the more advanced stuff, it's still easier than ASM, and you end up with speed as fast (or close) as ASM for a lot of stuff.

Btw:

[23:50:08] <+calc84> Asm(ED56) should fix that
[23:50:14] <@DJ_Omni> aaah ok
[23:50:15] <+calc84> at the beginning of your program

[23:50:35] <@DJ_Omni> calc84 do we need to do something special when exiting?
[23:50:39] <+calc84> it disable's Mirage's interrupt and just uses the TI-OS one
[23:50:42] <+calc84> I don't think so

Quoted from IRC.

This is not an Axe internal bug, but it is impossible to send the app from a calculator to the computer using TI-Connect. What I think is that the five spaces in the app name causes issues. You might want to name your app so it's
Code: [Select]
"Axe" instead of
Code: [Select]
"Axe     "

That's impossible becasue the name has to be exactly 8 characters.  I could replace those spaces with null characters instead, maybe that will fix it.  Tell me if it works in the next version.

I thought it was possible? Weird x.x

But it's the first time this happens to me with an app

I agree with DJ Omnimaga, I have begun to insert notes and comments on everything I do. It helps for troubleshooting. It seems like you error seems like a code-side thing, maybe a typo????
