Title: CMDv3
Post by: ClrDraw on April 04, 2014, 09:07:15 pm

I'm rewriting CMDv2 (you can find it here (http://clrdraw.weebly.com)). What new functions should I have?


I want to make this program more useful than the last.

What could the users do? What special privileges do you suggest.  Without something else users are kind of pointless.

That's true... I like the password idea (to protect programs) but I don't think it makes sense to have separate users on the calculator.

No point in having users because this is a self contained (mostly) program.

That's true, especially since most calculators only have one user.
I did include a password option (just today) which is similar-ish.

Example:
"Hey dude can I borrow your calc"
"Yah hold on"
"Dude you like have cmd3?"
"Yah, wanna import your user?"
"Chah"
Sends a user file over ... appvar
Logs in.
Now has all game scores from Limbo
On friends calc.

CMDv3 doesn't load scores from other people's games...

And in the case you quote the other guy had his calc with him, hence no reason to borrow yours. :P

May be he lost a file... but had his user accout backed up. .. its ambitious and seems unlikely. But what the heck.

Bleh. It's not like calcs have unlimited storage. Plus I won't let anybody touch my calc. :P And what you said is already possible.

I'm lucky nobody at my school can use a calc... They couldn't mess with my programs if they tried. Yesterday somebody asked me how to turn on fractions  :P

I also like the idea of password protection... perhaps you could do some very, very simple "encryption" to make it more difficult for someone to steal your password.

Title: Re: CMDv3

Right now its hidden so hopefully few people will be able to delete it. But I like that idea, I'll encrypt it also. Maybe a simple cipher shift based on location... Professional encryption algorithms like Blowfish confuse me.

Try a 65536 bit RSA key. :trollface:

I added some new commands. This one is my favorite: "READ VAT" (shown below). It scrolls through the VAT and shows everything in it along with data about it. Useful for finding hidden files as well as reading info about files. Eventually I hope to sort it alphabetically :)


Press and hold enter to scroll quickly. Release to stop scrolling so you can view a file.

Ui, nice, so far i always used CalcSys for VAT :P

Also, I like how the screen is white-on-black now :)

Thanks :) what else does CalcSys do? I'll try to include it.
