This is BRILLIANT! (Sorry, just saw this topic, but I really like the idea of using DCS's GUI features in BASIC programs.)

would there be a way to make a series of three to six options, centered alignment, cursor starts on the topmost one, and pressing down auto-takes you to the second one? (pause menu: When in a course: "Continue / Return to Map / Quit" When in World Map: "Continue / Choose World (exists after you have more than one world) / Save (exists after you beat W8-FinalCastle) / Inventory / Quit")
Or a similar arrangement: Two options, side-by-side at the bottom of the window, pressing right takes you to the rightmost one? (this one's used a lot: confirming saves, confirming quitting, confirming leaving the course)

Thanks! This is a few days from being completed; I am one routine to generate token values from "ASCII" (not really) strings from being completely done with sum(0) through sum(12) other than testing, so I hope everyone will get a chance to enjoy playing with it soon.

It sounds like you're talking about the sum(13) idea, Menus that you navigate with the arrow keys rather than via the mouse cursor. I also like the confirmation menu idea.

sum(12) is working! You can initialize the mouse, interact with things like checkboxes and text input boxes and all those fun things, then get a string back with information about form elements, and a list with the final coordinates of the mouse, the type of click used, and which hotspot triggered the GUIMouse to terminate.

Thanks, Swivel! I'm going to write a small demo application, then publish this tomorrow, hopefully. Anyone who wants to play around with it and try out a demo of their own is welcome to contact me.

How about a quadratic solver as the 2nd demo?

Haha, good call, that'll be the third demo then, as I'm making a little racing game as the second demo. Good call, though.

I just got a splendid idea. What if I added some GUI support to the most recent Design-3D version (and support for 255-frame animation  )? However, then it also would be usefull with a "line(" command that's way faster than the TI-OS one.
Anyways, I will not have the time to do it this summer, and problably not in the next year (cause of school), so I can't promise anything.

That would be great, I love it! If you don't get a chance, I may even try to do something along those lines myself. [Edit: No pun intended]

It's OK for me. I even think I actually stated here before that I considered D3D "done" on my part.
However, if you actually try to do something with it, I suggest it's a good idea to try to document the variables (perhaps I should do that). Every module has more or less it's own usage of the variables, but quite a few of them are not reset everytime a module is loaded (mainly to make navigating in the visual editor easier for the user). Almost every single variable is being used at some points.
So to sum that up; some variables are used temporarely to reduce the filesize (like if a constant appears a lot, it's usually just stored in a variable, and the variable is used instead of the number), some variables are "global" (like the coordinates in the editor, IIRC), and some are used locally in modules. I kind of lost controll over them at one point, and that caused me a whole lot of debugging headace.

Kerm, you definitely need to find a place in there to add a new line( function O_O
One that's faster then the TI-OS one and that deals with pixels, not coordinates. Possible?
e.g. sum(#,15,14,45,34 |

I am too lazy to actually make my own post so instead I quote people and then don't say anything new
I hated having to reset the graph screen so I could draw my GUI's

Real(12 is what you're looking for. That's what I use to draw the obstacles in the DCSBL racing game. Check out the Third-Party BASIC Libs page, particularly when I flesh it out with details.

Sum(13) is more or less complete, pending a few bugs! I'm quite concerned though, because I'm down to 868 bytes free on Page 2.  Check it out!

You decide to wait until right after I get a beta on my calc to implement the one feature I know I'm using? Wooooooooow

Well, it's not like I released it; I still need to do a tad more debugging. Does that about cover what you guys had in mind when you suggested the feature?

That's consistent with my expectations.

I can't tell whether that's an insult or a complement.
Edit: Aight, so I tracked down the source of the bug I was seeing: looks like when the last token in a string is more than one character long, the length calculation is incorrect. "prgm" turns into "prx", for example. This doesn't happen on the 6th=last line, for some unknown reason.
Edit #2: This suggests to me that it's the next copy or PushGUIStack that overwrites - perhaps insufficient space reserved at PushGUIStack?
