Yes with a For loop.

While I do appreciate any help...I have no idea how a for loop could possibly improve handling of getkey routines. Could you perhaps elaborate on how to use it? (Not the for loop, I can use those fine, using it for a better input routine).

Hayleia · « **Reply #1651 on:** August 29, 2013, 03:26:48 am »

Well, since you didn't say what you used the getKey for, we can't really tell how to improve your input. A For loop helps sometimes and doesn't some other times.
For example, if you want F1 to increment {L1+1}, F2 to increment {L1+2}, ... F5 to increment {L1+5}, then you can see the For loop appear by itself.
But if the actions od the keys are really different, maybe using some ElseIf is better. Just learn how to optimize the ElseIf.

If A=0 ElseIf A=1 ElseIf A=2 ElseIf A=3 ElseIf A=4 End

can be optimized as

!If A Else!If -1 Else!If -1 Else!If -1 Else!If -1 End

Anyone have any methods for better grayscale? I'm currently using Hayleia's method, but even after extensive calibration I still get light diagonal lines running down (these are called scanlines right?). The best I've gotten is a loop with Pause(22), but this makes it impossible to do anything else. Just using four level grayscale.

That was easier than I expected...thank you.

What does inData return (when not 0) ? The position of the first occurrence ? Of the last one ? Of a random one ?

Runer112 · « **Reply #1656 on:** November 02, 2013, 12:58:48 pm »

Well this is awkward... inData(BYTE,PTR) returns the position of the first occurrence, while the new inData(BYTE,PTR,SIZE) returns the position of the last occurrence. That was done for extreme optimization purposes, and I don't think I ever considered the case where it would be used on data that contains the same byte multiple times... But that case is definitely one that it should handle, and you would then expect it to return the position of the first occurrence, wouldn't you...

Can you get away with it searching backwards for now? I can try to help implement a solution if you want.

Hayleia · « **Reply #1657 on:** November 02, 2013, 02:04:13 pm »

Lol, I understand your choices but you should add this to the commands.html so people don't think they do the same. And for now, I don't need it to give me the first occurrence nor the last one, but a random one lol. I guess this won't be a feature anytime soon.

Thanks for the reply and for the update anyway

Why can't I find my prgms in Axe? There're a number of prgms in my TI84 SE, but there is nothing shown on the Axe.
Tip:My Axe is 1.2.2

Did you start your programs with a dot and the name of your executable ?

ClrDraw · « **Reply #1660 on:** November 25, 2013, 11:11:37 am »

The name after the dot also has to start with a capital letter, if it starts with a lowercase or a number it won't show up.

The question was asked on a French forum where people for some reason don't want to come here even though this is where they'll get the most accurate answers about Axe.

So anyway, here is the question: is it possible to change the size of an appvar ?
Note, I assume the answer is "yes" and the real question is "how ?"

Runer112 · « **Reply #1662 on:** November 27, 2013, 01:00:38 am »

The answer is probably MemKit.

Quote from: MemKit readme

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New(PTR,OFS,SIZ) Arguments: PTR = Pointer to start of program/appvar (from getcalc). OFS = Offset in program to add memory SIZ = Size of memory to insert Returns: 0 if it failed, non-zero if it succeeded. Description: Attempts to inflate the size of a program/appvar --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delete(PTR,OFS,SIZ) Arguments: PTR = Pointer to start of program/appvar (from getcalc). OFS = Offset in program to start deleting memory SIZ = Size of memory to delete Returns: 0 if it failed, non-zero if it succeeded. Description: Attempts to shrink the size of a program/appvar ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol weird, I used MemKit before, I remembered that it had this feature, went to the readme before asking you the question but didn't find the answer

I guess I must have read only the first line of each section or something like that -.-

Thanks

More random questions...
What would be the best way to get text() functionality without actually using the command (speed reasons)? My first thought is to just tilemap the screen and have sprites be letters. However, depending on how many different characters I use, this could end up being a lot of sprites to define. Are there any better methods out there?
