NOS - An alternative TI84+CE shell

NOS (or Nick's Operational Shell) will be a simple shell with a GUI similar to the Kindle Fire Home Screen. To scroll through the programs, you use the left and right keys. Possible features would be pinning programs to the beginning of the carousel and using the A-Z keys to navigate similarly to Cesium.
Cool! Beckadamtheinventor's also working on a shell in ICE, so you could cooperate!

If he wants to, I'm open to the spirit of collaboration and I do need help with the mechanics behind the shell

Wow that's self-respect in its purest form Razz
I have been bug testing for BOSshell, and I can do the same here. I like messing with my calc.

Hey thanks that would be great!

You should also ask SM84CE.
You should also say that the size of the program is the numbers below the program.

Yeah I can do that.
Another thing s that you can't go left.
UPDATES!!!!

I made massive updates last night to NOS. These included making it more of a shell than a filename viewer Razz


Done:
- Reading of Filenames
- Browsing Files (Can go back)
- Running of BASIC programs (Kinda Glitchy)


Planned:
- Archiving and Unarchiving
- Running of ASM programs
- Detecting if a program is BASIC or ASM
- Detecting and displaying Cesium Icons
- plus much much more!

How do you handle running BASIC prgms? Copy then run?

Seems to be coming nicely! Keep it up!

Yes I copy the program into a predetermined program (prgmTEMP) then run that program!
Nice work!

Quick question: Are we able now to go back or left when going through the list? Thats be better than having to cycle through all of them again because you accidentally missed it. (Especially if you have a ton of programs) Also, what is the middle box thing going to be filled with? More information? Do you think you can figure out a way to change the color theme? I don't know if variables work in defining a color, but if it does, then that's be pretty easy. Good luck on whatever you want to do!


P.S. You should change the version number since it's so updated Wink


[Before post edit]: I see that you can now go back in the list. That's good! How did you change the code to do that?

What are all the planned features? The "maybe" features? Can you make one list of the features that are there and the features to be added, and change the color for finished/unfinished? That'd be a great way to anticipate features.

Yes I plan to have the middle box house more information like keypresses and stuff.

Yes this is definitely a planned feature! I have wanted to do this since I first came up with idea

Ill be sure to do this in the next github upload

When I originally made the code, it was set up so everytime you presses [->] it would goto a label that had the search function. This would then find the next program. The problem was that it did not save the program pointers of already found programs. After I learned about lists for StockSim from PT_, I implemented them into this. Now when you press left, It adds 3 to the list position and recalls the program search function. This is inverted for the [<-] key.

I have a Github Project Board started for this purpose here. I will keep this thread updated too. I am also taking feature requests. If you want to make one, create a new issue in the Github repo.

Just an FYI, if the user has a prgmTEMP, it will be overwritten, this is highly unlikely, but just putting this out there.

What should I name it then?

Just name it a string of random numbers and letters, like "A1H47D8"

EDIT 1: To answer LAX18's question, I believe you can use theta, but not the equals sign or other special characters.

Okay. Can I use "=" or theta?

EDIT FOR RESPONSE: Okay Ill implement this! Thanks!
