It could be useful to make some sort of increase/decrease function for the one-byte pointer references.

I change variables inside loops quite often. In Axe, I don't know, but I do that a lot in pretty much every language.

Even though ++ and -- wouldn't optimize further, it sure speeds up coding time in my case.

It would certainly optimize with expressions though, even with 2 byte variables.  For example:

{A*12+B}r+1->{A*12+B}r

Can definitely be optimized with increment operators.  The r and the end of the brackets can tell the parser whether or not to use a 16-bit increment or an 8-bit one.  Variables are always assumed to be 16-bit, but you can still do the more optimized 8-bit increments via {oA}++  This is definitely a feature you will see soon.

Oh, I assumed ++ would only be an available operator for variables, as other programming languages use it. But I guess it makes sense from an optimization standpoint to allow it for one-byte values and complex pointers.

Now if only Axe supported conditional jumps based on the Z80's flags, we could make super optimized loops...

Is that another bump for GotoIf? I wholeheartedly second that :D

Actually it wasn't a bump for conditional Goto, but I still really want that as well. And of course conditional sub() would go hand in hand with it. At least sub() without arguments.

The only reason I ever change the counting variable in a for loop is to adjust the increment, which TI-BASIC allows you to do with the fourth argument (that Axe doesn't seem to support).

EDIT: GotoIf!  :)

What about an additional Backup option that enables backing up all used subprograms as well?

Quigibo, I see you added that.  Thank you thank you thank you!

Pxl-Command()->buffer
Including Pxl-Test
(Or, perhaps, Pxl-C(X,Y,PTR))
This one was suggested by Runer:
DispGraph(Buf1,Buf2)^r[r]

In fact, what about
DrawingCommand(args[,list of buffers to apply to]

I have a feature request.

I was thinking it would be cool if I could  O.Omodify the certificate pageO.O to remove the trial restriction on the compiled apps so they don't delete themselves after 16 runs.  Yes, I am well aware that this can be extremely dangerous if not coded properly which is why I want to make sure everyone is comfortable with it.  I would of course do extensive private testing before releasing it to the public.  The thing is, I don't know where to find the (un)documentation to do this, I checked WikiTI but couldn't find anything about how the OS operates that page.  So I will probably need a lot of help with this.

Don't touch the certificate. You'll thank me later. Might as well just have an optional app signer instead.

In less depressing words, does anybody at all know completely how the certificate works besides BrandonW, who himself might not know everything?
Also, is there some system call you might hook into to validate it? If it exists, it seems safer than modifying the certificate.
