BexIDE -- An Axe/(Extended) BASIC Mini-IDE

[epic7]

Yup, 4 hex characters come first.  I forgot if its width then height, or height then width, but it shouldn't matter if you're editor is for square sprites

[BlakPilar]

Well it's not just squares lol. I think I just locked the rows/columns so they HAD to be multiples of 8, so there could be a 16x8 sprite. Oh well, though. I can mess around with Bitmap for a couple of minutes if necessary lol.

Thanks, though, Quigibo. And you too, epic7. You've helped add a feature haha

EDIT

Spoiler for the work policy I'm going by for BexIDE right now:

SO I CAN MEME-IFY ALL THE THINGS!

Just one problem, imo :
When programming in Axe, the code-folding is a little bit buggy/weird, because the 'Then' token is not needed in the If statements, and so If statements are not detected..
And so something like

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Repeat getkey(15) If A=5 A->C Else B+42->C End End

Is sumed as

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2	Repeat getkey(15) [...] End

instead of

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3

Repeat getkey(15) If A=5 [...] End

Don't know if you can do anything about that (like detect if there's a header at the beginning or what.. don't know at all how to do that )
But, yeah, just wanted to tell ya.

Anyway, great project, I use it more and more

[BlakPilar]

Ahh, thank you! When opening files the folding is buggy (but that's a problem on the editor's part, not mine). I actually just changed it so that it will recognize whether to fold for Axe or BASIC, so that's fixed for 1.2!

Thanks!

Oh and another question, will you implement incrementation indentation, after all the things ya have to do ?
Ain't really that essential, but it looks good ^^

[BlakPilar]

Hmm... I'm not quite sure what you mean by "incrementation."

[Wellen]

Oh, sorry, I meant
replace

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Repeat getkey(15) If A=5 A->C Else B+42->C End End

with :

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Repeat getkey(15)    If A=5       A->C    Else       B+42->C    End End

Also what's the word for that ? huhu

[BlakPilar]

Oh, indentation. That wouldn't be hard. Do you mean auto-indentation? Where if you type in Repeat getKey(15) and hit enter it automatically changes it to

Repeat getKey(15)
  |
End

Where | is the cursor?

[Wellen]

Yep, that's exactly it
Also, when opening a file, which has already been written in another IDE or on-calc, would it be possible to indent the whole code ?

[BlakPilar]

Also, when opening a file, which has already been written in another IDE or on-calc.

I knew you were going to say that that'd require me to do some post-opening editing (to indent everything correctly), but I don't think it would be too hard. Would it be better on-calc to have the tabs replaced by zero, one, or more spaces?

[Wellen]

I knew you were going to say that

Would it be better on-calc to have the tabs replaced by zero, one, or more spaces?

I think replaced by zero, because of the lack of space on the screen

[BlakPilar]

Alrighty then. In Bex, is 2 spaces acceptable for a tab? If you press TAB it will still insert the tab character, but it would only display it as two spaces. Is that enough, or should I go for the standard 4 (or some other number)? (Example attached)

[Wellen]

Imo, 2 spaces are good..

If you have 4-spaces-indentation, and a lot of loops into each other, you'd have to scroll horizontally, could become boring

But I'm not the only one who decides

[Deep Thought]

I think two would be better in this case because you can get pretty deep in nested loops/conditionals in TI-BASIC.
