Wewt, I have gotten a program to kinda read from Basic programs.  Right now it supports most of the 1 Byte tokens (except the tricky ones like -> and ") but none of the 2 byte ones.  It also has a shiny line indent feature :].  It runs a mono spaced font right now, so some of the text looks weird, and some of it is squished or stretched, so i need to work on that as well.  But getting the token system working was a real hurdle so i am pleased ^^

The screenshot shows it displaying a simple text sprite editing program of mine, although i had to remove all two byte characters, so it looks kinda weird.  There are ? marks where there are other unsuported tokens.

EDIT: Right now i need to put a stop at the end of the program so it knows when to stop, how do i find the size of a program?

Yeah, its all still pure Axe I have two huge tables in the program, one with all the token text data and one with all the token byte value data.  They were a pain to create So far though im really liking the look and feel of the editing, and it will be sooo nice to have a 21x10 screen space instead of a 16x7 ^^ Plus some cool features like faster scrolling, line indenting, and custom menus to give access to extra tokens and such.  I hope to create most of the Ti Os environment exactly though, so it will still feel like programing in the regular basic editor.  That way people who use the key codes to navigate menu's wont get tripped up

Yeah I assume this must have taken so long

One thing I wonder, tho: For people wanting to make extremly large games, how will they be handled?

Also you should rename this to TI-BASIC & Axe Editor since both are programmable in the PRGM editor

Yup, works in any Fix mode you're in I think.  It will be supported natively soon too

I was thinking of in the far future actually overwriting the operating system tokens with axe tokens as an option in the parser, but I don't know how hard that would be.

Try this:

:For(H,1,255)
:HAsm(EBEF6049)
:End

Will display single byte tokens.

For 2 byte tokens, you need 2 bytes, so if you were reading from a program pointer, you would check if the token is 2 bytes first, and then if it is, read it 2 bytes at a time and then display it so it has the whole 2 bytes.

That looks really sweet. Good luck with future improvements

Probably he means not enough memory to write them, if your program is large.
@Quigibo: That would probably be possible, given that all TI's language localization apps do it. I don't know what hooks (if it's hooks) you would use, though.

what exactly did you mean by that?  Like memory wise or what?

Example, some Illusiat 13 programs are nearly 15 KB large each. I know there are other BASIC programs that can be even larger too. I wondered if the BASIC editor could open those or if it was out of the question?
