Ok, I did the programs and they do the job. (small and feature Pure TI-BASIC grayscale (best viewed in a TI-84+SE))
I am not kidding about grayscale. Test if it looks good another calculators models. I messed a lot with = and its "reversed colour" token without success.
I guess there aren't bugs but I optimized as much as I could...

Controls are:
2nd to select/finish
up/down=next/back 9 tokens (not 10 because that is 2 more bytes in code)
right/left=next/back 1 token
Some programs may require.
Del to delete one token
Mode to see next screen of tokens
F1 to finish

Then look in Ans or Str9 the tokens you want.
Destroys Str0 and Str9. My convention in TI-BASIC coding is that Str0 is a temporary string, Pic0 a temporary picture and so on.

I will polish a bit more and release with proper donotreadme. I can say there is a reason in the naming of the programs. Oh, this will get release in ticalc, it is probably one of the best token selectors in TI-BASIC.
I did some odd decisions because of size optimization... You will see.


I will gladly reply to feedback and suggestions. Thanks.
EDIT: I released this to backup and don't forget to credit meishe91 and others.
EDIT2: I will try to come with a decent screenshoot in the final release.

Am I crazy or did I just read pure BASIC grayscale?

Yes but kind of.
It is actually 3 level (white, grayish and black), done with ASCII and probably only looks good in my calculator (TI-84+SE).
You only see gray in the token you select (it has a lighter colour tone of the rest of the screen black pixels and black underscore bellow) because I am erasing and redrawing the character during the getkey loop.

In UTI there is discussion of this kind of made grayscale and Weregoose has a large pictures with all mixtures of TI-BASIC tokens to achieve different patterns of gray sprites. So I am quite serious about Pure TI-BASIC grayscale. It is VERY limited. With luck, you can do a simple ASCII game with one symbol being grayish (some imagination may be needed).
EDIT: picture may have been lost in the Internet because of UTI move but here's a topic about it http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8828&view=findpost&p=134331
I might have a copy in my hard drive.

Yes, that is exactly it.

I think my program has all visual tokens with 1 symbol of width we need. AXSYMBZ has all non accessible from TI-OS menus like Catalogue and statistics and ATOKZ2.8xp has all of them.
What do you think about the order of tokens and usage?

The programs were shrunk a few more bytes on my calculator and is all I can reduce. After I receive feedback and write the ignoreme, I mean readme, I will release in ticalc since is one of the best tokens picker and the only with grayscale.
The grayscale I note in the program is that the current selected token is a bit lighter than the other tokens on the screen.
Do you think there is any problem saying it has grayscale? People may bash me with it being flicker and not grayscale. (especially TI-83+ users) I though it is quite funny to say this has grayscale.

That's as close as you can get to TI-BASIC grayscale on my TI-83 Plus. The only time I've seen nearly flickerless BASIC grayscale was when I tried it out with a single pixel turning on and off with nothing else in the loop. Can't find a use for that, though.

I do. It is one of my old TI-BASIC projects I want to finish: a picture editor. The cursor is a gray pixel.

In BASIC the closest thing to grayscale I ever had was While 1:Dispgraph:Disp:End and it flickers very bad

Nice program Galandros btw, it should be useful to some people.

Thanks.
Funny, I was going to post about that piece of code. I was amazed to what I saw in my calculator.
It flickers bad but not that bad in a TI-84+SE and a very simple ASCII game is possible. I am so gonna do it, most for my amusement. I just need a good and simple idea to implement. Any ideas? (if I knew some easy yet addicting game like snake but not as much repetitively coded)

I wish Output() on the SE calcs was as fast as Locate on the Casio FX-9860G. Even without running Kucalc's CPU speed modifier add-on, it's still insanely fast. The bad thing, though, is that it doesn't word-wrap...

Aw sorry to hear, I hope you don't vanish completly like last Summer though, I was sad to see you go

Glad the program will be available soon, though

Wait, why am I getting credit?

Also, isn't that second picture by Weregoose a chart of Dual-Layers?

This seems cool. I will check this out later when I have a chance.

Last thing...I just made a pretty legit looking 4-level grayscale test in TI-BASIC...
It isn't anything special and I doubt it would be good in a program but it looks really nice on the graphscreen I think.

ClrDraw
0
While 1
Text(-1,Ans,Ans,"888
Text(-1,Ans,Ans,"88_
Text(-1,Ans,Ans,"8__
End
I realize similar things have been accomplished before but I just thought I'd share it because it is really practically flickerless (I only see a tiny little flicker thing like every few seconds). I'm on a 84+ by the way. Sorry, just got excited
