The reason why newprog had a new category is because you need an extra software to run games compiled in the language, unlike Axe, which lets you compile for no-stub or with any of the popular shells.

Basically to have its own section, Axe would need to require a proprietary shell that only launches Axe games. I'm unsure if many people would like, though, since most of us already got one shell that can run all other games installed, such as DCS or the discontinued MirageOS.

I completely agree with Runer. Credit where credit is due.
Should this possibly be put in General Discussion, since even though it has a paragraph devoted to Axe, it is universally applicable?

Awwww, thanks guys (and girls)!  

I do like to give credit where credit is due, but I still feel like crediting me for every Axe program is really something that should be optional.  I'm just providing a tool to help programmers use their creativity in more powerful ways in their own works.  Film editing software for example, no mater how sophisticated, is generally not mentioned in the credits of a movie.  Likewise, I don't feel that the author has an obligation to credit the software engineer when the author has put so much of their own time and ideas into their project.  You don't credit TI when you write a program in TI-BASIC.  Now that being said, if you feel like you are being helped on a personal level on the forums, fixing specific bugs, using example code/programs, etc. then credit is probably due to that person.  And it is certainly not okay to make false claims about your work.

I never imagined that Axe would get this popular because its really at a point now where I am honestly having trouble keeping up with all the new projects and development going on.  It probably also has a lot to do with how busy I am.  I've never overloaded myself like this before, with a job, research, school, girlfriend, responsibilities, its all so much to juggle, I haven't had free time for so long.  I think last week alone I didn't get much more than 5 hours of sleep a night and there were 2 all-nighters in there.  Its probably not healthy for me.  Even on my break right now, I have so much work it doesn't feel like a break at all.  But I've found a little bit of time to work on Axe luckily and I haven't lost interest in it.

Anyway, thanks for all the support everyone.  Its this kind of gratitude that keeps me so motivated to continue with the updates.

Ouch QUigibo, I hope your situation gets less hectic soon. X.x Never having free time sucks and can be discouraging at times. X.x

But yeah I think the reason why Axe got so popular compared to other such project attempts before was because of the way it was announced and the way the language is used. It is not because Omnimaga was very active when it started, because when Hybrid on United-TI was started, United-TI was getting about 2000-2500 posts per month (which is what Omni was getting when Axe got announced) and two other languages made front page news on Ticalc.org before. However these languages did not use the TI-BASIC tokens/editor and used an editor that wasn't very user-friendly or they were simply not that easy to learn. I think Antidisassemblage still required people to learn ASM, same for TI-Power Gold and EzAsm. As for other languages, the authors generally didn't realize the mangitude of such project and did premature announcments about it, so they lost interest.

Other languages migth have been great, especially BBC Basic, but there's something special that was done right in Axe: You pretty much answered TI-BASIC programmer's dream from the past decade. Now the only thing that could maybe hold off Axe is the confusing Getcalc() usage and the 8 KB 8xp code/16 KB 8xk limit, but I understand that both might be a challenge to fix.

In other word, awesome work Quigibo and thanks a lot.
