I do agree that a customized editor would be nice. But is it necessary to actually build a custom editor program/application? I think the easiest way to implement a fairly simple but good Axe editor would be to keep using the built-in BASIC editor, but on top of the token hook, add a menu hook that adds menus specifically for the Axe commands.

If you start entering the realm of custom editor programs, you start moving away from the Axe project itself and into Axe IDE's, which can be made by a third party with about the same ease as I could. A custom-made Axe IDE would be awesome, but I should first and foremost be concerned with implementing the compiler and language features, and just adding the BASIC editor hooks as mentioned above because they're quick to implement.

I totally agree.  Perphaps a succesfull asm programmer could start an IDE for axe parser. I have always wanted one on calculator as an app. One could make it really simple and have it all under the prgm button. BTW I was not offering my self up for the asm holocaust.  :-\

Many people have started such projects, and some are still in progress.

I think I will start an editor in a little while, I really want one too mostly just for the tiny font.

Runner112, is there any way you could make Axe so that I could make an app greater than 16384 bytes? My current program has gotten so large I have had to cut some features that I didn't want to cut just so it could compile.

Do like I did with IkarugaX, make a program that is larger than 16384 bytes by usingFullrene and a shell. It works.

Automatically generating apps that takes more than one page is a logistical nightmare, as Runer112 said before.

This is something that will require a compiler redesign and should hopefully come with Axe 2.0. But that's still a long ways off, I feel. For now, your options are to optimize your code (you can post the source or parts of it and request optimization help on the forums, if you'd like), and/or follow Matrefeytontias' suggestion to compile it as a program with Fullrene, which would realistically let you have programs up to about 20-24KB.

Hmm, it has to be an app sadly not a program :(

Then optimize, there is not much to do for the moment. Or if you don't manage to, you can also get all your data in external appvars and keep only the code in the app.

Or you can do what I did and put your extra functionality in an external program and use DrDnar's RUNPRGM Axiom to swap between your app and the external program.

That's a good idea, I could store the data in an appv and run the appv.

This question has been asked once or twice per page since the 84+CSE came out. Runer112 wants to make Axe color-compatible with Axe 2.0.

Sorry, I should have checked first.
That would be so cool, good luck Runner112  ;D

I have a request...
Could we have all the commands rearranged on the catalog so that the axe commands appear first?
I don't know if this will be possible but...
*josh wonders if a TI-wizard could do this

It would definitely be neat to have a feature like that. Fitting such a feature into the already-overflowing Axe though... that's another story. Also, I have absolutely no clue how the catalog hook works so would't really know how to do it myself.

I believe that, partly for this reason, Quigibo tried to assign most commands to tokens that are found in menus so they could be quickly reached once you learn their location.

The Axe Parser  is cool :D und very usefull.

You can change the syntax from the "For(Variable,Start,End)" command to "For(Variable,Start,End,Increment)"

"English isn't my first language, so please understand me if something isnt correct.
