Sometimes when I try to edit an archived program, it just goes to the homescreen and displays done.
It is bad luck to be superstitious.

I'm still having troubles with the label menu...only things installed are Axe, omnicalc thru zStart, and zStart itself.

Running archived source program from homescreen then opening up the label menu starts it, then when you go to scroll around it does fun stuff :P
(noting that opening it from the edit menu does not glitch)
Not sure if this is fixed already, but lately while editing from the homescreen, label jumping works correctly about 1 out of, say, 20 times..?

Umm... Looks like I'll be fixing attempting to fix this pretty soon. But thanks for all of the reports.

I'll probably start working on this after I fix the impossible game. That game is just too cool to throw away my current motivation for it.

Hm, apparently I never uploaded the font I made :P
Have fun :)
EDIT: screwed up on the colon/semicolon, not getting rid of old changes.  Fixed.

You seem to make the assumption that a label is always at the start of a line, which causes some interesting glitches when you have

I know, I think somewhere I mentioned that. The problem is calculating where the cursor should actually be. There's probably a bcall to do that, however, I have no idea what it is. (Definitely undocumented)

I just look at is as since : is the same number of bytes as a return, you might as well make a return if you're going to jump to your label.

Bug:  you have zstart and a MP os. If you get into prgm editor by syntax error in an axe program, if you do alpha up/down, everything looks screwy.

that is the best description i can give.

Feature idea:
Fast graphing - Doesn't update the screen until all the functions are drawn on the graph or after each function's drawn giving graphing a big speed boost.

Good idea :D
Or update the screen every two or three pixels, so we see each function being drawn but faster (don't know if this is possible ???)

This doesn't happen to me ???

It has to do with how the program editor opens, it happens to me too in 2.43.  (I'm guessing it's the same thing that happens when you run an archived program, get err:syntax, jump to a label and scroll around)
I think he's looking into how to make it open the editor correctly or something.

I found this out because very often i am not allowed to edit programs with prgm, right, select.
Not sure if that is zstart though.

And, to make this even better, perhaps restoring the previous window and graph settings upon a RAM clear?

Also, I've noticed the label menu doesn't handle a lowercase L at all, it just skips it. So if I had a label named
Code: [Select]
Lbl SmlIn the label menu it would show up as
Code: [Select]
Snm


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Oh, zStart crashes nspires with the 84 keypad
And isn't zstart supposed to let you jump to the source of the problem when Axe has an error? If so, it's not working for me.

I noticed that if you press enter without typing anything in the name new font thing, it creates a strange appvar that messes with the mem menu. I encountered it accidentally.

The run on home option appears to break the Basic Menu( command. It always gives Label errors even if the label is valid.

Fixed - flag

Also, I figured out that you can't edit programs in math print.

Fixed

The calculator froze when I was at the bottom of the program and selected bottom from the ON+Vars lbl menu.

Fixed

I'm still having troubles with the label menu...only things installed are Axe, omnicalc thru zStart, and zStart itself.

Running archived source program from homescreen then opening up the label menu starts it, then when you go to scroll around it does fun stuff :P
(noting that opening it from the edit menu does not glitch)

Fixed - flagish

I've also noticed that if I recall a string into a program, and open the label menu and jump to another label and try to scroll to another part of the program, the cursor moves off-screen and my calculator ensuingly crashes.

Fixed - flagish

Basic's Menu( command is acting up.  It's giving me an Err: Lbl and once it filled my homecreen with the black dot character (I believe it is FFh).

Fixed - flag

I had another weird bug today:
I assigned a Basic program to a shortcut key.  I then ran it.  This is what happened:

As you can tell, it showed quotes around every output (and maybe display) when ran from a shortcut.  Running it from the homescreen didn't cause this affect.  What's going on?

Fixed - flag

I have a suggestion.
On the font view screen (the one that appears when you press ALPHA whilst editing a char) you currently clear and then refill the screen whenever the cursor is moved. I came up with a way to fix that.
Instead of clearing the screen every time, all you have to do it print the char and the char to its left in black-on-white, then move the cursor, then do whatever!
I even wrote an Axe program that'll do it!
Lemme know if you'd like it. :)

Done

Oh! UnArchive prgm and Archive prgm don't work. it just tries to run the program.

Fixed - worked with any two byte token

Sometimes when I try to edit an archived program, it just goes to the homescreen and displays done.

Fixed


However, all of these fixes come at a price. I had to get rid of the safe ram clears. I feel like no one uses them (at least I don't) so they're gone. The reason I needed this is because I was just flat out running out of space.

84+ keypad doesn't surprise me, though, the only thing that should crash it is the grayscale stuff. I don't think I used any undocumented instructions.

I also never planned on going to the source of a problem with axe. If it works, cool. (Though it doesn't sound like it does.)
