Axe text editor

Post by Jeff Calc 84 »

As the title says, I will be writing a text editor in axe, for the ti83 plus line of calculators.
Progress is going well, as I have been able to write up a program, that detects valid file,s creates a menu to select them, and then stores a pointer into P.

Hope this goes well! :D

Plans going forward

Post by Jeff Calc 84 »

There will be a computer side and a calculator side to this project. The computer side will probably be a modified version of Ti83F, and the calculator side will be this program. As Axe displays the bytes as characters in the character map (not tokens), you can type in more symbols on the calculator side :). I haven't decided on whether to use the large font or the small one, although it'll probably be the small font. There will be a character selection menu to select characters, probably in the form of a hotkey.
Hope this project goes well! :D

Great work and great progress on your text editor! :D

Are you able to write on the calculator, and save the file? Or do you write on the computer, and send the appvar to the calculator to view it? Or both? Anyway I can't wait to see more progress on this project so I encourage you to keep working on it, hope it goes well!

Current state of code: can read from a formatted AppVar, AppVar can be edited manually on computer using a hex editor.

No worries, I'll get to it. ;)
