Acutally, the only big thing is it's chain of dependencies, which has become as bad as a Linux program's. The good thing about this is that it saves a crapload of space. With [shared] dependencies like this, I think a package manager is in order :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dependencies and Space Info

Total RAM required: 6500 (including temp usage)
Total FlashROM required: 16K (for XLIB)

EDIT: Note - updated. But this is the most recent animated screenshot, and I'll update it soon. You can download the beta release below.
- It's smaller and faster. It now it uses up only 3346 bytes of RAM (Without any mods, and excluding xLib). Half of what it used to.
- It saves your batteries when idle.
- You can do things more a whole bunch of sprites at once.
- Except for xLib, it now uses nothing but my own subroutines (unless you use the ONBLOCK mod).
- You can now easily mod the editor to how you like it by inserting code in the "mod files". This is a better idea compared to making changes to the editor itself 'cause if you mess up, you just take out the buggy code in the mod file and the editor will work again.

its the best editor i ever seen!

Lolje's got some competition ;)
Post by: Demon on July 17, 2006, 12:20:00 pm
- A better intro screen.
- Detects whether xLIB is installed and whether you have enough RAM to run.
- The pixel editor has been optimized a little bit more, and uses up a little bit less room. And it has been made modable so you can add your own keyhooks.
- The program and it's libraries clean up after themselves dynamically, saving you memory as you go (and just in case of a crash, there isn't much to clean up - otherwise, just rerun the program and exit and that will clean up most of the tempvars used.
Removed features:
- The move feature because it can overwrite itself and delete part of your sprite sheet (or at least the selection). Use the copy function instead and delete parts you don't need.
Currently:
Writing the instructions. The editor is expected to be released this week.

It is a beta, and has no bugs that I know of (but tell me if you find any problems or wieirdness. I'll keep doing tests tonight and probably add more features before I finalize the release).
I have not gotten the Mod Developing guide finished, but I have gotten all of the base instruction, two mods, and how to install them.
Once I get that finished, and I probably will tonight, then I will repackage and release the editor on ticalc.org.
EDIT: Updated. This is the second beta release. Some things have been fixed.
Post by: Demon on July 17, 2006, 05:30:00 pm
I found an bug in the copy function. I think I forgot to set part of it up for the 4-pixel stepping of the cursor, so it copies more than it should. But the stepping is being set back to 8 pixels since I just added a feature that will let you see where traversing lines meet up so there will be no need for 4-pixel stepping.

anyways, i tried out the editor,it's great! I really like it that you can zoom and edit the pixels.One side note-i wish there were some hotkeys,and maybe custom size pixel editor,supports 16*16? Other than that, i love it :thumb:

On a side note, the 4x4 bug got fixed.
EDIT: Whatever of these I can figure out I will include in the next release. The new release (below) has bugfixes and will give you time to test drive it while I work on the third release.

Post by: Demon on July 19, 2006, 07:16:00 am
If you're on the editing screen, hit second twice on the sprite you want to flip (or second, then drag with the arrow keys and second again if you want to flip a bunch of sprites) and select 'Flip' from the menu.

| ....custom size pixel editor...supports 16*16? |
Feature has been added. You will be able to choose from 8x8, 16x18, 16x8, and 8x16 sprites. (On a normal TI-83+, note that each multiple of eight will take four extra secodnds to load).

Description: This lets you force-save a pic. Usually the editor saves as soon as soon as you make a change (or when you save changes in the pixel editor), but someone told me it was having some problems with high pic numbers, so I made this mod.
Install it by sending it to your calc and adding the following line to XPSE2:
prgmXPSE2FSV
To use it, press 'S' and you should see the screen flash twice when it saves.
NOTE: You WILL have trouble saving to pics 250 and up, as these are reserved for ZCGS.

- It will lust for speed, trying to use as less RAM as possible. I've optimized the hell out of it. Movement is pretty fast on the normal 83+, and this thing should blaze on the SE's and the 84.
- Frills (like the animated intro/exit screens, etc.) are being removed to save space and speed things up. The UI will take some getting used to.
- Those APSEn files have been removed. Mods can be added by editing PSEK (for keyhooks) and APSE (for anything you need to run at startup/exit/in the getKey loop). Just remember to back up just in case you screw up.
- TI-OS's getKey is not used anymore, but xLIB's is. Much faster.
- A tilemapper is being made. The cursor navigation and map scrolling is split up so it goes hella-fast.
- You will be able to directly edit a sprite without having to go into the pixel editor.
-16 x 16 sprite and tilemap support.
- It's possible that I may add grayscale and animation support to let you preview how your B/W or GS sprites and how animated sprites will look against different backgrounds. Again, I said the word "possible".
- The mod development guide (finally).
Post by: Dragon__lance on July 22, 2006, 09:30:00 am
but sounds sweet anyways! i'd love to see the animation backgrounding,that'd be awesome! :)

The mapper uses internal subs and the editor program back and forth when selecting sprites, so it is kind of slow but it's really nice 'cause you can edit a sprite before you select it.

keep it up! *screenie of awesome gs!
Post by: Demon on August 04, 2006, 06:56:00 pm
Here are some ideas I want to or am trying to implement right now:
>> Make the editor let you edit and preview in B&W or 3- and 4-layer grayscale modes without having to select sprites and animate them to see how they will look. Plus you won't have to worry about trying to figure out how to make the pics that make up your grayscale sprite look because you would be able to edit them all at once when you are editing the sprite, hitting 2nd for a lighter shade of gray. Also I want to do this with the tilemapper, too.
>> Three-screen editing. The first screen will be the editing screen, the second will give information or maybe show you the real command for the selected sprite or something, and the third will be the homescreen, where prompts and other info, and menus, etc will show up. The will make grayscale more possible on the normal 83+ since it won't have to keep updating the whole screen. This will be done for the tilemapper, too.
>> Put powersaving back in 'cause the GS will probably eat the hell out of your batteries.

Progress
1. I decided to make it full-screen. And fullscreen grayscalle seems to be still pretty fast even on the normal 83+.
2. You can already get different shade pixels by pressing 2nd, mode, or del, and it will turn them on on the correct pic.
3. There's a mouse, finnally, but it goes way too fast and needs to be slowed down.
4. Got rid of a bunch of subs. The whole editor only uses up around 2- and 3k right now.
I'll put a screenshot as soon as I figure out why I can't keep the mouse in drag & select mode.

And, yes, that is freakti8x's example spritesheet from the grayscale guide.

2. It's a TI-83+. :)
If I could get the 83+SE rom to work with PindurTI (or if I find one for an 84+/SE) then it would probably work better.3. It save changes as you make them, so it recalls the proper layer, draws, and saves.
-----
Progress
- You can now draw ovals, and you can control the precision at which it draws them.
- You can make the mouse jump to specified coordiantes on the screen.
Todo
- Make all basic geometric shapes availible (like triangles and stars, etc.)
- Get the tilemapper back up and going and with GS support.

Problem with this code is it does not draw very accuratly. The lines appear connected together, but there are a few overshots here and there depending on the precision (last number in the For command), and plus it's not "even" (some sides or edges end up longer than others and it looks weird).

Technical:
The default functions I used for the circle are:
x1: A+Csin([theta]
y1: B+Dcos([theta]
x2: A+Csin([theta]-U
y2: B+Dcos([theta]-U
Where U is the increment in the For loop, so let me know if thisis incorrect.

The Bad News: I tried to rename something in MirageOS, accidentally hit 2nd (butterfingers), and wiped everything out! :cryveryloud:

- You can copy sprites across different pics.
- The xLIB code generator is back.
- There is an option menu to turn off the splash and turn off, and confirmation messages (Expert mode)
- "Save Image" confirmation message, that are displayed after some drawing functions just in case you have butterfingers (like me) and made the wrong change.
- Deletion recovery. If you accidentally erase your sprite pic, you can resurrect it by simply turning a pixel on and/or off.
- Sleep feature is back (was it there?)
- Easy jumping.
- Sprite moving remembers last location.
