Possibly you've already thought of this, but will Mosaic be able to compile to applications, like Axe can/will be able to? I think that might be a useful feature.



The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

Complete use of define and equ.  I really want those if they aren't already planned. :)

Making the hex code publicly viewable (that's actually what I liked about OTBP). Wouldn't it be small and simple to parse each individual nibble and simply display its token after the assembling is complete? Maybe it could be an option?

Full compatibility with popular include file formats is planned.  The goal is for you to be able to pick up your projects and work on them oncalc without any modifications.  You can even code off of a flash drive.

Probably not.  Im basically going to include calcsys though, so you can achieve a similar effect.

What do you mean by including CalcSys? Will Mosaic have a built-in hex viewer? That'd be nice :D

I think he means that plus the ability to edit the hex (maybe to fix things caused by a program crashing, for example, providing you know what you are doing)

Oh, that'd be useful.

So about how many equates are already supported (just for a sense of scale)?

And another feature request (if it hasn't been included already): allowing OTBP-style syntax, at least partly (i.e., not having to type all the special characters like #, _, etc.)

It would be a very cool feature to have it do both compiling and disassembly.  Even if the disassembler is done very simply without creating local labels or anything complicated like that, it would still be very useful.

Constantly displaying the line getting assembled. That would give a sense of "where it is".

Wouldn't that be slow? Plus it would assemble each of the 1000+ lines so fast that you wouldn't even have time to read the text

That would be very slow, wouldn't it.  It may be cool as an option that could be toggled on or off. :)

display every 3rd or 4th or even 5th line of the program?

I would prefer maybe just a progress bar or percentage, like in Axe Parser

Automatic header insertion (e.g. for Mirage or Ion) in the editor, and an option as to which header should be added.

Does Mosaic support Mirage and Ion equates?
