There's all sorts of tools to help with coding (sprite editors, base converters, quadratic solvers etc), yet some people, especially newer members, might not be aware of them.

What tools do you use/have you made to make your programming easier, faster, etc?


I'll start..

Apps:
zStart - Run programs from homescreen, Assign X key combination to Y program, Label jump menu in program editor, Automatically setting defaults on ram clear, and a bunch of other stuff
Omnicalc - Entries menu (pre-MP oses only), Ram restore (Extra ram calcs only), Quick apps

Programs:
zascii - go to a number and it gives you the respective >char and >tok outputs
zkey - press a key, it gives out a number
zsprt - modified version of Deep Thought's sprite editor*
clrscrpt - works with omnicalc and zstart together, simple basic program that calls mentioned ram restore on ram clear

*modifications are:
 - [mode] to switch between 3-lvl and 4-lvl gray
 - blinky lines (for science)
 - Pt-Mask() and Pt-Mask()r on the right, background cycles

Attached Axe programs are source, Basic program is Basic program

For special chars, Francais or any of the language apps can be handy, as it adds a char section at the top of CATALOG.

There are other tools to access even more chars but I forgot their names. One was on TI-BD.

They can be handy for people using ASCII or text sprites.

I use zStart and AXEPAINT.
zStart is simply the best, no missing features, no more features than you need, all in one page.
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.
