[TIB] Re: Expanded functions for 83+ BASIC
Wow, it sounds like this program has the potential to do a lot of great
things for TI-83+ BASIC. But why isn't this program in the "Upcoming" part
of the Detached Solutions web site? Anyway, some things I would like to see
are:
1. Better support for strings would be most important to me. How about being
able to create other Strings other than Str0-9 with Str[stringname] or
something like that? That way, you are less likely to erase something
inportant to the user.
2. Better arrays. You can use lists and matrices for 1 and 2 demensional
arrays, respectively, but they are for real numbers only. How about the
ability to use strings in different types of arrays. Maybe even 3D arrays?
(although it's usefullness in calculator BASIC would be somewhat unclear to
me)
3. A menu just like the Menu( command only displayed on the graph so that
you can fit more characters. I like the way the Menu( command works, with
the inverted colors and all, but 16 characters of a title and 14 for the
options limits it a lot.
4. Lowercase would be nice to include, even though that feature can be found
in MirageOS, it would make sense to also include it here. And maybe the
ability to add some symbols, such as % or @.
5. Maintaining compaibility with everything possible, becuase I like to have
everthing on my calc that I can.
I know that some of these are probably over-ambitious and maybe impossible,
but they are just ideas.

Hello,
I am currently developing a TI-83 Plus flash application that among other
things, will provide additional functions for BASIC programmers to use.
These functions will be integrated into the operating system. I am looking
for ideas as to what types of functions BASIC programmers would find most
useful. For example, I am including a sprite() function. If you have any
ideas, please tell me about them.
Thanks,
Michael Vincent
