Any screenshots of that file listing/execution, and what kind of built-in tools were you planning?
Once I work out all of the kinks in file listing and execution, I'll post some GIFs of it functioning correctly (hopefully 
).
I have a few tools in mind, but the one that seems the most interesting would be some sort of macro scripting language. These macros could be set to on key shortcuts (such as on-math), so you can activate them at any time.
If you have any other questions, please let me know!
micrOS is coming along smoothly!
I added a credits screen and made a lot of design improvements in the latest commit.
What I'm working on:
- Fixing a lot of cursor issues
- A help window
- Working file execution
Very nice! One thing that I'd like to point out is that you can hide the
! and
# entries, which you do want to hide, in your code by doing something like this:
Code: char *name;
void *search_pos;
uint8_t type;
while ((name = ti_DetectAny(&search_pos, NULL, &type)) {
if (*name == '!' || *name == '#') continue;
//do more things here, using the name, which now refers to a file that you probably want to display
//you can also narrow things down using type, which I assume you've already discovered
}
Also, those hex codes are very fun, but what do they mean? Assuming you're using Unicode (EDIT: which you're almost certainly not), that translates to )‚£*¢¦%r«)ò¯%r¤)‚«)¦%r£*b£, which doesn't make any sense at all. I took a screenshot and have it posted below if anyone wants to figure it out:Can we have a hint
Anyway, looking forward to more updates! Looks like you've made some impressive progress for just a few days of work.

Ooh, yes, please! Will these be globally enabled (with ASM hooks) or only inside the shell?

Thanks for the tip! I'll put it to use right away

The hex codes actually do mean something! Converted into regular English, they mean "srsly tho, thx".
This message will change with every update, so trying to decode this could be something to do if you are bored
(P.S. Thanks for the compliment!)

Most likely, I will use ASM hooks.
micrOS 1.1dev
More features have been added!
Some notable changes:
- [y=] menu
- "more info" sidebar
Full commit info can be viewed at the
github repo.
(P.S, I'm still having a ton of trouble with file execution. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be super helpful
)

What specific question do you have that isn't answered by the documentation and/or example?

I'm having trouble setting each program in the list to a pointer I can call to execute that specified program.
What?
Learn how to describe what you are doing and provide context. I have no clue what you are talking about.
Also wtf is this line, do you really want to exclude all programs starting with M:
https://github.com/Nanobot567/micrOS/blob/main/src/main.c#L175
EDIT: Just a glance at the code tells me you are using the pointer returned from ti_Detect without storing the returned string anywhere. Subsequent calls to ti_Detect return the same pointer.

A way to know which program the cursor is pointing to.

I wanted to remove all programs named "MICROS" to avoid micrOS running inside of itself, but I fixed it and that change will be shown in the next commit.

What he's saying is that the value pointed to by fileName, which is a char pointer, will be equal to *"MICROS" if that program's first letter is M, since *"MICROS" is the character M. You'd need to use strcmp to resolve this issue, although then there's still the issue of the program potentially being renamed.
micrOS 1.1.1dev
Just fixed a fatal error in fn.c and help.c, everything should compile correctly now.

Nice! I tried to compile yesterday (?) and was unable to because of that issue. I'll probably give it a test within the next couple days. Is this build in a state where you'd be willing to receive feedback, or is it still just for experimentation?

I'm always willing to receive feedback! This is my first time using C for creating a TI-84 program, so feel free to give me any tips or tricks that would make micrOS (and/or my programming skills) better.

Thanks for the example! I had an idea for a shell and posted it in the forum because I wasn’t sure how to do it, but you have given me good ideas for how to do it in hybrid BASIC or ICE, I haven’t decided it yet.
