auto archiving would be cool. I am sure I would use it if I was on a SE calc and was messing around with stuff that can potentially crash the calc. In some occasions, I tend to forget to backup (normally I do)

I was just assuming that the program was in ram. If it's in ram, you can do all you want to its name. By directly modifying the name, the program never has two instances in ram and is only archived once.

You also don't want to use % in a program name as it becomes invisible. I thought that making it an appVar would be the simplest because it wouldn't even require changing the file because the name is preserved as is.

The easiest way I see to back up programs in ram is:
change to appVar
archive
recreate original program
copy from archive

It would of course be different for archived programs.

On recovery, just unarchive, and change the type back to program.

Protip

At the start of the program:
Code: [Select]
"prgmPROGSRC"→Str0
Archive Str0
At the end of the program:
Code: [Select]
UnArchive Str0

a feature request: I would like to be able to execute external ASM/Axe programs or code snippets in AppVars, like external sub()'s. Perhaps u could use the command Func() for this, with the following syntax:
Func(PTR, arguments (r1 to r6))
The pointer has to be a label, and arguments are just only useable in Axe Funcs I think.

I would like to be able to shift the backbuffer, currently there is no fast way to do it :(

yeah I suggested that some drawing commands be extended to back buffer usage too before. I think he said it might be hard for some, though. I hope for scrolling it is possible

Question: Will the new geometry drawing additions also include the addition of faster horizontal/vertical line routine?

I'm still debating that.  Using the rectangle command to draw lines would be about the same speed anyway so I might just leave it at that to draw a rectangle with width 1.

The Rect() command is using the ref() token since that puts it in the catalog alphabetically.  Its easy to use and it takes as arguments the X,Y of the upper left corner followed by the width and height of the rectangle respectively.  Making the width or height 1 allows you to draw fast vertical or horizontal lines.

I'll try to extend more of the current drawing commands to the backbuffer as part of this geometry overhaul.
EDIT: I'll reset the poll now since I'm well into the geometry stuff.

Oh really? Nvm then :P altough it might pose problems if someone wanted to make a racing game like the one included with Axe due to lack of clipping (unless the person used min/max for clipping purpose)

I think the Rect token is fine. I do not remember if Ref was used much anyway and the name is pretty similar so it shouldn,t be too hard to find in the CATALOG.

Suggestion, you should rewrite your racing game using those :D

EDIT: Voted reading from archive.

Hmm, tough choice between Read From Archive and OS Var Support, but I'm gonna go for the OS Var support so that I can use Axe programs along with Basic Programs.

Also, Saftey Features should be "Safety Features".
