I'm starting a project, in Axe, for the TI-83/84+SE series of calcs. It's going to be a paint editor similar to/based off of mspaint (the regular paint program that comes with windows), bundled with a text editor.


The Paint program will most likely have the following graphics functions:

     Lines
     Squares/Rectangles
     Custom Polygons
     Different size brushes
     Circles
     Ovals
     Flood Fill
     Up to 4-level grayscale

and also other things, such as rectangular and free-form selection with copy/paste, invert, resize, rotate, etc.; some form an eraser / mass erase function; different levels of zoom; in-program sprite editing and inserting, and other features I can think. It will probably end up as a single-page app, that exports one or two 768 byte appvars that can be used as buffers in programs.


The Text Editor will have copy/paste, custom input as fast as I can make it (within reason), text selection, deletion, and insertion, a find/replace function (maybe) and as many lines as I can fit in the meager memory I have access to (compression help appreciated). It will also export to an appvar that will possibly also be computer-readable (help here will also be appreciated - might it work with Croquette?)

What do you think? This project is still only in concept phase, so I'm definitely taking feature requests into consideration.

Got it

I'm thinking of having it so when you press Y=, a menu screen slides in from the left with a list of all the functions and stuff like that.

With keyboard shortcuts, of course

make sure you add sparypaint
(Yeong loves spraypaint)

have you thought about making it to where you export it to computer and you can just rename the file to txt and actually see what you wrote?

COLORS

Darn. I was going to make this as well, but you beat me to posting about it. If you want any help with stuff, I'm really good at menus (I think I can do a slide-down menu pretty easily), and I can write custom Axioms. Just ask.

I'll be sure to ask. Thanks!

You're welcome. About a converter, do you want me to make that? I was thinking about modifying the xml file that Tokens uses, and write the program to reverse the process. (Tokens = methersoft's Tokens IDE).
