[TI-Basic] "Wrench" Utility Pack-(8x series)
« on: September 01, 2014, 07:31:04 pm »
I have started work on a utility pack for oncalc programmers such as myself. It can run on any 8x series calculator, including the CSE (as usual, with me). Those of you on #omnimaga around the time of this post have seen the GIF of the Token Search utility. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them!

Spoiler For Info:
-Token Search has you type in the token you wish to copy, and it searches for a command in it's database. These commands include ones only found in the Catalog (sub(, length(, etc) and some commands that require a lot of menuing (or, xor, list symbol, etc)

-Routine Search (called "Routines") lets you look through a list of routines (movement, list to string, etc) and copy them to Str2.

-getKey Codes waits until you press a key, and returns its getKey value. You can then use it again or quit. (Thanks to princetonlion for this idea!)

-Text Centerer has you input the number of letters (characters, really) and if the calc you're working with is a CSE or monochrome (for figuring out compatibility). It outputs the X value that your Output( command should be set to.

Spoiler For Images:



Spoiler For To Do:
*Add more utilities

I happen to be doing the same thing on a 68k calculator, just worse and more math-like. I don't think it deserves a thread so there isn't going to be one.

Nah, give it a thread. I want to see what it looks like :)

I haven't backed it up yet. I'm going to make one.

I got a few more ideas for Wrench, and only one more needed until my program is filled up (well, really the Menu( command, but I don't want to have to make users pilot through a lot of menus to get to what they want).

I like how you saved tokens to a string. Maybe you could make an easy way to save '#' and other characters?

Yeah my favorite part is how it detects tokens from strings and stuff.

Granted, I generally just use the catalog but i found the fact your utility lets you search tokens by typing them out quite impressive.

Thanks! I'll definitely look into adding unaccessable characters.

Edit: Added that, and removed most tokens that require menuing, since it doesn't take that long to get to some of those.

Thanks :) I kinda brute-forced it, so now I'm looking for a way to compact it.
