Ah ok. What does change location accross OS versions? Mapar007 told me about the Garbage Collecting routines.

Mostly just added stuff, but undocumented features might get removed (I'm not sure, though).

EDIT: The poll seems nearly unanimous now ;)

EDIT:
Also, the line routine is not hijackable, so it would have to be an entirely different routine for the back buffer or a more inefficient routine for arbitrary buffers.  Same thing with the circle command.

I'd be ok with a whole second copy of the Line() routine being needed for the back buffer, or a more inefficient one for arbitrary buffers. I'm not terribly worried about speed, it would just be nice to have these for UI drawing.

Well, Mapar told me the GC routine got moved from a location to another accross OS versions and it's not a new feature.

The garbage collect routine very well may have moved. But seeing as there isn't actually a garbage collect bcall and garbage collecting is handled entirely by the OS, unless you have a hacked OS with different parts from different versions, garbage collecting should work fine.

Ah ok. Well, in the GC talk with him, what we were discussing mostly are custom garbage collect messages and forcing a gc. GC'ing by itself seemed easy, but as long as you used the default one.

Usually for a UI you only need strait lines in which you should use rectangles with singular width or height.  Those can be drawn to the backbuffer.  The menu context is interesting, I hadn't seen that before (since its undocumented) but I will certainly check it out.  From the looks of it though, it seems really large and complicated if its implemented similar to the way BASIC does it.  I don't know how I'd be able to take any amount of arguments either.

Some features I'd love to see implemented:
1) Math specific functions - int( is something I'd love to see. :D Float math is also requested too...
2) input problem.. but I assume that is being fixed atm.
3) Mini input, either on screen, buffer, or backbuffer. Perhaps something like this?
Code: [Select]
minput(startx, starty, endx, endy)->Str1
Example:
minput(10,20,86,28)-> Str1
 (above: 8 units alloted for y, since 6 is height of tiny text, plus 2 for padding.)
Multiline: (If you decide to do so)
minput(startx, starty, endx, endy, multiline BOOL)->Str1
(Multiline is just multiple lines, within the rande of (startx, starty) and (endx, endy).)
Different buffers:
Buffer:
minput(startx, starty, endx, endy, multiline BOOL)ʳ->Str1
Backbuffer:
minput(startx, starty, endx, endy, multiline BOOL)ʳʳ->Str1

Just a thought. :)

Maybe Mirage-style input?

As long as it lets you cancel, unlike in Mirage 1.1 x.x

Maybe Kerm could provide some routines from his Doors CS one? :D

It sounds like you're trying to implement switch statements, but perhaps vector/jump tables could also/alternatively be implemented? They would probably be simpler to code, as the user would end up writing the table for you, and could be activated with only one line. Another nice thing about a vector/jump table is that you can jump to pre-existing routines instead of having to do something like Case 0 / sub(A) with switch statements. Perhaps something like this to store it:

Code: [Select]
[[A,B,C,D,E,F,SUB,etc.]]→GDB0
And something like this to jump to an entry:

Code: [Select]
Goto GDB0,X
.or
sub(GDB0,X)
(The difference between the two being that Goto uses JP and sub() uses CALL.)

Not that important, but a length()r would come in handy for me.

Would that search backwards from a pointer?  I think that could be useful. :)

I think an on-calc documentation of all the commands would be most excellent.

That's very true...

well, maybe it could be a separate file included for users who want to have it on hand.
