So I have been working on a text editor for the TI 84 PCE in ICE recently, and just yesterday I started porting the program to C. I am very new to C, so pardon any n00b mistakes i have made, am making, and might (will) make in the future. Up to this point, I have only been working on the homescreen and file detector/shell (detects appvars starting with "TXT"). Here is a screenshot:

However, when porting the program to C, I encountered a strange error:

I encountered this earlier when programming in ICE but never found what caused it. right now i am using gfx_SetDraw(1) and gfx_SwapDraw() in a while loop.

Code:

Thank you in advance for any help I receive!
Edit: Jacobly reminded me to put gfx_Begin(); and it worked.
Here is the Github Repo: https://github.com/randomguy70/SmartNotesCE
I have only been coding in C for a few weeks, so please please tell me if I should format anything differently, or if I am making any n00b mistakes!
Thank you in advance!
I was asked about getting GetCSC scan codes using keypadc, so here you go:
Code:
uint8_t get_single_key_pressed(void) {
    static uint8_t last_key;
    uint8_t only_key = 0;
    kb_Scan();
    for (uint8_t key = 1, group = 7; group; --group) {
        for (uint8_t mask = 1; mask; mask <<= 1, ++key) {
            if (kb_Data[group] & mask) {
                if (only_key) {
                    last_key = 0;
                    return 0;
                } else {
                    only_key = key;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    if (only_key == last_key) {
        return 0;
    }
    last_key = only_key;
    return only_key;
}
progress update: i gave up on using appvar text data files, and am using some simple hexadecimal character arrays instead. now the input text function works. this is the first time in a while I have been able to work on this at all Smile.
Congrats Smile, on finishing the input routine.
Okay, so apparently this code is not working; it is supposed to copy the pointers to the names of every txt appvar to an array of string pointers.

Code:

uint8_t loadFileNames(char **buffer) {
   uint8_t numFiles = 0;
   char *namePtr;
   void *search_pos = NULL;

   while ((namePtr = ti_Detect(&search_pos, "TXT")) != NULL) {
      uint8_t i = 0;
      while(namePtr[i]!='\0'){
         buffer[numFiles][i] = namePtr[i];
         i++;
      }
      numFiles++;
   }
   return numFiles;
}

char fileNames[20][9] = {0};
loadFileNames(fileNames);

thank you in advance1 Very Happy

Edit:
Jacobly helped me to fix it.
are there any good monospace fonts that anybody would like to recommend? I think I will use monospace for this project because it would make my life a lot easier!😆
FiraCode is an awesome monospace font. You should definitely try using it.
does this string copying function work? I have issues with my code, so I am not sure if this is it.

Code:

char* strcopy(char* dest, const char* src) {
   uint8_t strPos = 0;
   while(src[strPos]!= '\0') {
      dest[strPos] = src[strPos];
      strPos++;
   }
   if(!strPos) {
      return NULL;
   } else {
      return dest;
   }
}

following mateo's wise advice, i am now using strcpy
Why aren't you just using strcpy.
Well, I haven't had too much time to work on this recently, but I fixed the fileScrolling bugs, added file renaming, added and refined colors in my palette, cleaned up a ton of code, and created several sprites (which I haven't implemented yet). There are still several minor bugs which I will fix shortly, and then I will move on to opening files and displaying their actual text.
Well, in the past few days I added sprites, updated the gui graphics considerably, and am now going to start working on an extra menu for the home screen.
Here is the link to the main branch of the repo: https://github.com/randomguy70/SmartNotesCE

This is looking really great! I think the sprites definitely make it look better, and I love the stripey "Notecard" background. Keep up the great work!
Alright, so I am trying to implement file hiding right now, but my code seems to reset the RAM.

Code:

int toggleHiddenStatus(char* name) {
   ti_var_t fileSlot = ti_Open(name, "r");
   if(!fileSlot || strlen(name) > 8) {
      ti_Close(fileSlot);
      return -1;
   }
   
   char temp[9] = {0};
   ti_GetName(temp, fileSlot);
   temp[0] ^= 64;
   ti_Close(fileSlot);
   ti_Rename(name, temp);
   
   return true;
   // return isHidden(temp);
}

Thank you in advance!
How does this compare to CEedit?

They're different editors for different purposes.
SmartNotes is, well, a notepad. CEdit is a general text editor.
Nice work on all this! Kind of inspires me to work on my BasicNote update again.

Oh no. Laughing
