Axe Parser
Beta 0.2.4

One word to describe this release: grayscale!

New Features:

• Draw pixels to the back buffer (grayscale)
• Get pixels form the back buffer
• Draw sprites to the back buffer (grayscale)
• 4 color grayscale rendering
• Draw ANY buffer directly to the screen without having to copy it to the main buffer
• Look-ahead parsing significantly reduces code size when using static pointers

Changed:

• A couple new auto-opts for "is negative" and "is not negative" .
• Fixed bug with Cos( Sin( and square root as second argument
• Fixed bug with >Frac and >Dec when last line was a pointer.

Cool new example program to test 4 color grayscale.

Axe Parser
Beta 0.2.5
If I weren't so busy I would have added more stuff...

Axe Parser
Beta 0.2.6

New Features:

• Instant goto when pressing [prgm] after errors.
• Use Sub() and Asm() inline with math operations.
• Sorting command added.
• Some very basic OS interrupt commands.
• Constant expressions are evaluated pre-compile time.
• Reading and writing to static addresses should be fully optimized now.
• Math and numbers are more flexible.

Changed:

• Reading and writing to static addresses returns the value instead of the address.
• Fixed several bugs.

Made a 3D game for the fun of it.

Axe Parser
Gamma 0.3.0

This should make up for skipping a week of updates

New Features:

• Subroutines can now have arguments!
• New variables for subroutine arguments.
• Experimantal "Axe Tokens".  Toggle them with Alpha+Vars.
• Grayscale commands improved and save interrupt states.
• Base 2 logarithm and exponential.
• Draw arbitrary sized bitmaps to the buffer or directly to the screen

Changed:

• Major bug fix, no more errors when reading from archive.
• SetupEditor is no longer needed or supported.
• Fixed other minor bugs.

Axe Parser
Gamma 0.3.1

No new commands, but you got to admit these new features are pretty cool. Even cooler if had I decided to throw in application compiling

New Features:

• Real error scrolling just like BASIC!  Finally!
• The new token names are now automatic.  They turn on if the program has an Axe Header
• Axe does not re-save the settings unless you make changes.  It will keep it unarchived if you want to unarchive it.
• Commands list shows both new and old token spellings.
• More nested expressions are allowed in a single statement.

Changed:

• Fixed some bugs in the new tokens and documentation.

EDIT: Please Re-Download if you got a copy earlier.  There was a big problem with the error scrolling on programs larger than 10kb that I'm still not able to fix, but at least it won't crash the calc now.

Axe Parser
Gamma 0.3.2

Probably one of my largest updates in terms of useful features.

New Features:

• Compile your programs to applications!
• Axioms can be imported for added functionality!
• Custom interrupt support!
• Display Tokens.
• New token value constants.
• Find the length of a zero terminated data block.
• Display small text without defining coordinates first.
• Sound quality has drastically improved.
• Developer information included.

Changed:

• Fixed more bugs with negative numbers (I hate those things!)
• Error scrolling is much cleaner, but still messes up in gigantic programs

Axe Parser
Gamma 0.3.3

New Features:

• Draw rectangles and boxes.
• Draw circles.
• Interrupts are now compatible with applications.
• 2 New advanced multiplication techniques: Fixed Point and High Order.
• "Return" at the end of the program is automatically optimized.
• Error scrolling is more accurate.
• Simple application signing included.
• Import Pictures from archive.
• Support for full screen pictures.

Changed:

• Freq() can now play lower notes, and only the tone "0" has changed.
• Fixed some issues with negative numbers.
• Fixed the Data() command.  All numbers should work with it now.
• Pixel drawing far off screen is safe now!

New Example program: Fractal Explorer!  You will not find a faster one for the calculator!
