Right now it only searches for programs. It uses VarStats and one of my array subs so it could be modified to look for other kinds of vars, though.
Right now there is no link while I am still setting up my servers and stuff.

He will now be smart and compare what he knows to what you say to him, and then choose an appropriate response depending on what you ask or say, or he will remember what one says and then improvise conversation when he does not know something yet. You can now also teach him new responses and he will write them to his responses file.

But the biggest drawback is speed. It it slow as hell on 83+. It needs some serious optimizing. It can take up to almost a minute for it to respond to anything that is not in the command sub or is at or near the top of its responses list. On top of that, it can take up into minutes to load and exit because it has to convert the array of phrases it learns from and to lists when you start and exit. :(

Optimized a little and now you can append data to the input box from homescreen input (especially when you want to type characters that you can't type in on the graphical input).
Also, programs can now have predefined text already in the text area.
Nakamuru: 30%
A match and responce editor has been made. You can now train Nakamuru easily. It will be added to his command list so you can add something without having to open the training intererface.

Grayscale will be added back - it has already - and extra features that not everyone may want to use will be made into plugins to save one space.
Also, cursor contraining is back. It's better this time because can now set how much of an area you want to edit now so you don't accidentally go out of bounds an end up with a sprite larger or smaller than you wanted.
All subroutines:
Have been made Celtic-friendly.

Subroutines to allow you to have a full-blown GUI in your programs - cursor input, input boxes, radio buttons, dialog windows, buttons, drop-down menus, etc.
So far, I got the cursor, graphical and homescreen text input, the windows and the menus but now I gotta figure out how to get all this stuff to work when it's all in a dialog without much coding for the person using the routines.

What happened today was much worse than a RAM clear (I guess that's what I get killing the OSes of five or so calcs in class today) and I ended up losing everything -- including backups -- everything except for bits and pieces of programs in archive. But I think most of everything is on the computer except RandoGUI -- [frustrated growl]. Well anyway, back to the [...]ing drawing board...
EDIT: Got everything back except for RandoGUI and Mosh Pit.
RandoGUI's gonna get put off for a while so I can hurry up and finish PyroEdit -- after all, if I keep adding stuff to it it's gonna get big, slow, and bulky...

>> PyroEdit: 92%
Plug-ins have been finally [re]implemented, and all the extra stuff have been converted into plug-ins.
Plug-in key hooks have been implemented. Each plug-in will tell the editor the key that activates it and whether it is from the selection screen or within the pixel editor, and soon, the user will be able to define what keys do what.
Plug-in made so far:
- PyPoly (Advanced Polygon Tool)
- PyRArt (Random Art Generator)
- PyTxt (Insert Text)
- PyXSC (xLIB Sprite Code)
- PySpri (Simple pixel-only editor)
User-contributed plug-ins:
- Imagebot and Mapmaker, created by Tyler Johnson - "This program...uses xLIB and is made for people who make maps. It includes various functions such as Fill, Fill Every Other, Fill With Current Selection, Save, Load, Generate Code, Delete, Fill Rectangle, Copy, Paste, Set Delete Block, Set Shortcut to '1', Fill with Delete Block, Block Selector, Block Chooser, and See Current Block Number. prgmMAPMAKER also comes with an Image adjuster, loader, saver, and code generator, prgmIMAGEBOT."

PyroEdit's "core" is minimal for those who don't need, want, or have room for lots of extra bells and whistles. However, if you do want some of those bells and whistles, then you can get those by installing plug-ins.

- It won't have any Lbls or Gotos
- It will have a fully graphical GUI (No TI-OS Menus or Inputs)
- There will be only five subroutines (give or take)
- It will have more features, so some plug-ins like PyCopy, PyStamp, etc will be depreciated.
The downside to all the features is that the memory requirements may jump from 8k to 10k. On my calc it is already pushing around 6 or 7k altogether right now...

Status: 45% complete.
Lets you scale a selection by a factor.
[PyroEdit Plug-In]: ScanToList
Status: 70% complete.
Scan the selection/pic to a list and let you send it to another calc, redraw it differently (slant, bold, etc), compress it, and more. The resulting list after scanning is relatively small due to the fact that it only stores the count of consecutive pixels, then when drawing back to the screen, uses xLIB's line command to quickly turn on only the pixels that were on.

The new interface:
Soft Crashes: If PyroEdit crashes during use, it does not hard-crash back to the shell, but will instead give you a nice error message and an option to restart or exit.

- Plug-ins got taken out (again). They will be modded in later if/when the string array sub can be optimized any more or written in ASM, which I still need help doing...
- Contrast effects added. You can adjust the contrast within PyroEdit. PyroEdit will remember your contrast setting and restore it at start-up and will also remember to set the contrast back to the way you had it in TI-OS when you exit.
- Starting to integrate PyroMap Tilemap Editor.

GUI: You can now use the number keys to jump to and double-click on a menu item so you don't have to scroll so much. Hitting a number once will jump to that item number; hitting the same number again will select it.
PTM: The tilemapper has been added to the base. It is still being updated, however. The base size is now 200 bytes from 6k.
Crash Handler: Now tells you exactly what kind of error occured rather than just a number. Also allows you to toggle the Crash Handler.
Preferences: Toggling the Crash Handler will restart PyroEdit when you exit preferences. Will make this so it will ask permission first.
PyroPS (powersave): Dosen't kill any other vars than C/Y so that PyroEdit dosen't act weird when you're in menus, etc.
PyroEdit's Total Size: 13.3k
Components: 9

but I rarely encounter a need to put the Key input in anything other than a, or change the port of interest for that matter.
now you just need to get the sprites to flip in other directions. like I mentioned on IRC earlier, you really have the choice of
1.) storing all the directions of the sprites in your program
pro: good for few sprites, possibly faster; many addresses to deal with, though not a problem if you index them nicely
con: bad for more and more sprites since it takes up more permanent space in your program
2.) flip the sprite when it changes direction
pro: only 1 copy per 2 directions, so less space; only 1(or 2 when you add up/down views) address for sprite input
con: doubtful that you need the clocks, but will eat up clocks since you have to flip before using ionlargsprite; routines still take up space
3.) create all copies of the sprite before the fight and store the copies in saferam
pro: no clocks to flip during gameplay; less space taken when program not running; less addresses to deal with than method 1 assuming you use the same buffers for sprites
con: routines still take up space
Of course there are always other more appropriate methods for what you're doing, and since I'm not sure what the game will ultimately look like, I can't recommend one over the other
but it's looking good so far :thumbup:

- Added Pen Tool
- Added Preview-before-opening
- More size optimizations
Still pending:
- Rotation by x degrees (can I get an ASM routine - most preferred for live rotation - for this or can someone teach me how to do it in BASIC?)
- Tilemapper
- The polygon tool (making it smaller)
- Plug-ins, and deciding whether I should implement them or not.

@Liazon: Using A is the most speed efficient and size efficient way because that is what you use to do all comparing. So putting key input into C would only make it slower because you have to load into A.

Will users be able to save their sprites and tiles online, and will it be able to generate the sprites not only as code, but as computer and calculator image files? That would be cool (but not really necessary - maybe these features could be added after the main stuff is finished).

>> Makes the task of issuing arguments to Celtic a breeze so that if you use Celtic extensively in your program, your program will be much smaller.
Instead of having to say - for example:
c1-->
| CODE |
| ec1"MYPROG->Str0 2->[Theta] " 1:Asm(prgmCELTIC2 " 3:Asm(prgmCELTIC2 " 10:Asm(prgmCELTIC2 c2 |
ec2
You only have to write:
c1
-->You only have to write:
c1
| CODE |
| ec1"MYPROG->Str0 "11 prgmCTFNc2 |
ec2
And just look at all those bytes you save.
== Small Capital E (2nd - Comma)
Also, it will replace Celtic's long error codes with ones that are only two bytes long.

PyroEdit III is finally finished. I kind of finally realized it's just a sprite editor :P , so I worked on slimming it down, and now it only requires 8k of RAM (including space for two pics). Plug-in support has also been added back in, and it is much smaller and simpler. You can have as many plug-ins installed in PyroEdit as your memory will allow.Three plug-ins have been developed so far: - Pyromap, which has been slimmed down from the 2.x version. - PyroDCS, which displays a DCS header for an 8x8 sprite. - Pyroart - the insprational drawer from PyroEdit 1.x and 2.x.
