i may make a custompxl command but right now its not on the top of the list of things to get done however right now i am having a rather strange issue, i created a simple system to load a generic file and interact with its contents, strangely tho it will not open the file, here is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>


using namespace std;

ifstream file;
string Filename;

void run();

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc == 2){
string Filename = argv[1]; }
run();
cin.get();
return 0;
}

void run()
{
string line;
file.open(Filename.c_str());
if (file.is_open())
{
while (! file.eof() )
{
getline (file,line);
cout << line << endl; }
file.close(); }
}
what this is supposed to do is you drag a text file (with text in it) onto the exe and it outputs the contents of it into the console window, however when a file is dragged onto it the console opens as it should, but no text is output-ed (the file fails to load) 

right now it just uses a small little window the same size as a calc screen and tinted the same color as well, but i do plan on supporting larger/custom screen sizes later on

BasiC++ will be an interpreted programming language for the PC based directly off of Ti-Basic
currently it has:
ClrDraw
Pxl-On
Pxl-Off
Pxl-Change
Getkey(sort of)
storing(sort of)

right now i am working on the font system to be used with Text()

current features i want to get implemented are:
and
Ans
Else
End
For
getkey
Goto
If
Input
Lbl
not
or
Pause
Prgm
Prompt
Pxl-Test
RecallPic
Repeat
Return
Stop
Text
While
xor

info on why file loading wasn't working:

i was declaring
std::string Filename;
globally, (this is a string to hold the name of the file that gets loaded into the system, its declared globally so everything can use the code, it isn't limited to one single function)
next in the main function i stored the contents of the Filename into the string so that it can be opened in my run() function
std::string Filename = argv[1];
(when you drag and drop a file onto the program the name of the file is stored in Argv[1])
This will not work. What happens here is that the string is re-declared locally, this means it can't be used outside of main, this is because putting std::string in front of Filename tells it that you are declaring filename as a string, which overides the previous declaration.
in order to fix this you simply do
Filename = argv[1];
as can be seen it is a very basic mistake, but it should definitely be payed attention to because it can cause a lot of trouble if one doesn't understand it
thanks go to Chile from Efnet's #C++ for pointing this out to me, and pifreak for helping as well and stuff

theres an easy solution to that, rather than keeping track of all patches just do this: store a patch number,and each new patch would have a variable that would be read, it will only allow you to patch it if the number is one higher, that way it forces you to patch in order and not skip any patches, which completely solves the problem :{D the only thing about this solution is you need to make sure whatever you use to store the patch var in doesnt get deleted, if it does everything would get mucked up

i am not a "tatsu" im a fox...with a floating little hat :O
...but you can call me tatsu :X

go for it :{O

i think it would be a great idea if a new one of these were made, i also think it would be epic to have a 8xp to .txt for BASIC programmers, the problem with normal methods being problems with fonts, it would have to convert some things like the store symbol (→) into something every computer can display such as ->
if someone made such a tool i would probably take over the pretty much abandoned BasiC++ project.
