yeah true, especially when working on mutliple projects at once that uses the same routines. Plus it makes the code less long to scroll

Yeah, but it seems that interrupts are going to take the cake this time :P

Well, I personally voted interrupts, since for now I can tolerate scrolling through large code, plus right now my programs are rather small. I guess I might be used a lot to Illusiat 13 :P

Heh i remember when i was programing Portal and i was editing the last sequence.  I had to scroll through over 8000 bytes of Code to get to the buggy part ;D

Axioms is an SDK for developers to write their own custom Axe commands in assembly.  They would be able to choose the tokens they want to use and an option to change the spellings if necessary.  Users can import the libraries into their programs using the new Axiom() command.  They aren't just slapped into the code, only the routines you use are put into the code just like native Axe commands.  It will support easy things like just inserting a piece of code into the program or more complicated things like subroutines with multiple arguments.  I think it will accelerate the development of Axe commands becasue once some ASM junkies like calc84maniac :P start writing these routines I can basically copy and paste them into the app to support them naively.  Also they can be written to support specific shells such as DCS or MirageOS.
Natively or naively?  :P

I voted for the new list syntax because I am used to the BASIC way of doing things

I think he means natively, according to the context.

I don't know how complicated this would be, but maybe have Axe also serve as an on-calc version of BasicBuilder, compiling selected progs written in Axe into Applications.

I know there's probably a bus-load of problems with this, but its just a whim.

There really is no problem besides the fact that it would take about 15 min to sign the apps, and thats no good :(

(At least you would only have to sign them once however, since you can beta test all you want without signing them)

i haven't gone and read through the last 55 posts so im sorry if it has been mentioned already, but reading data one byte at a time from the flash (from appvars and such) instead of unarchiving them in their entirety would be a huge help

Yeah, doing that or creating a RAM copy of an appvar/program (IMO more useful) has been mentioned. No harm in bumping it, though. :P
That and more variable support are the things on my mind right now (besides interrupts)

I'm split between interupts and axioms.  Although I don't use Axe much (yet).  I think interupts would be nice, but I also think axioms would speed up development.

I know this probably has already been mentioned, but have we decided when geometry tools (circles, boxes, etc.) will be added?
Cheers!
I beta test, so...yeah.  PM me if you want me to test anything :D.

They'll be in the next poll Moose.  That one will take particularly long to write though which is why I've been putting it off.  I have to write all those routines from scratch to meet the Axe super-standards.

I've been working on both Axioms and Interrupts and they might both be done by Sunday hopefully.  Just for future reference, I think I will make the interrupt vector table reside in L2 since mirage uses this for its own interrupts but I'm not 100% sure (do any asm programmers know another place to fit the table more tightly?)  Also, writing the Axioms has made me realize the importance of another major optimization that must be done to support the Axioms.  The Parser will have to make a 3rd pass most likely, so that is a 30% in time to compile, but its already pretty fast so I don't think anyone will mind.  The ~20-60 byte decrease to most programs will make it worth it anyway.

Oh, ok.  I was just curious.  I would imagine it would be somewhat difficult to draw geometric shapes w/o actual draw tools.

Good luck and happy coding!

Good luck Quigibo!

Btw will the usage of L2 mess up MirageOS if we use Interrupts?

I hope not D: I dont want MirageOS programs to be deprived of their interrupts :[
