I made an icon editor in pure TI-Basic that's inspired by DCS9IC, but has more features including a pen tool and two flood filling tools. You can find it in the archives here.
Future versions may omit the help menu because that's what the readme's for, what do you think?


Be patient the gif is 4:40 long

Looking good! It's a nice, simple UI that seems like it's pretty intuitive.

I'd keep the help menu in--chances are the people that would use something like this are programming on-calc, so they wouldn't have access to the readme on their computers while making icons. It doesn't add a ton of extra size, either, most likely.

Keep up the good work!

Looks nice! I like the flood tool. Definitely keep the help in! Nobody reads the Readme

I have to say, that if this is all basic, not only am I impressed, but I am SOO hyped for it, and think this is really cool, ALSO a pen feature is super cool, and I've been waiting for something like this for along time.

What libs does this require? I saw it and assumed it needs CEltic CE but is it something else or...?

Sorry, I forgot to mention it in the original post, it's written in pure Basic.

Regarding the help menu, everyone said to keep it, so I will. However, it's a separate program, so you can delete it if you don't want or need it.

If it's written in pure basic, what does it use to apply the icons to programs? I've been playing with the new ICONPRO, (which is pretty finicky compared to this) and is Celtic CE integrated and needs the added string and color data to add the program while it's archived. How does anything like that work in all basic, cause I'd love to play with adding more like this or trying to homebrew random features if it's written in pure basic.

To use the icon, the user has to recall Str0 into their program. More is explained in the readme.

Could you be more specific? I'll see what I can do to fix whatever issues you're having.

NVM, I think I figured out what I was asking. Either way, very excited to play with this and see how it can be tinkered with, good work all around

Glad to hear it. I'm also excited to check this program out when it drops. The fact that this program is in pure TI-Basic is really impressive.

How might one modify this to be able to select the string that the drawing is being saved to so multiple drawings can be saved down at once?

If you want to learn TI-Basic, I'd recommend checking out TI Basic Developer.
Hint: I'm trying to get you to learn by figuring it out yourself.
Also note that the program uses some strings so you won't be able to save to all of them

Point taken, I think what I'll do instead though is tinker with the Celtic icon editor I've been playing with. It saves icons into a string on the program and apply them as a part of it so that you just pick a program or a string to assign it to and use that. What sucks is that the flood tools for this are so much cooler and honestly the Celtic one is very hard to use because it also doesn't have color display and saves incorrectly about 2/3 of the time. My goal is to work with one of my friends and add a better save menu and tools to it, and probably a color display and fill tools based one the ones in this program.

Thanks for the input

Edit: I explained the string part terribly but you get the gist hopefully

Empire L&N Which program are you talking about?

This one

Speaking of which, how might one take image or string data and download it as an actual image so I can design my PFP on a calculator to be funny?

That's my program. Do you have the latest version?

I'm using the download in this link, and I often get a glitch when trying to save to a program it just loops when asking the program name and keeps asking over and over again.

Also if this icon program has the flood tool as a separate file and is written in basic, could there be a way to add it into the Celtic icon editor?

First, I'd prefer if you didn't copy any of my code, but it's fine if anyone wants to make a flooding tool from scratch. Second, please move this conversation to Iconpro's topic as it's more relevant to that program. Third, the two programs work differently, so slapping my flood filling program into Iconpro won't work.

Sorry yeah, I may actually just make my own or something but for now working with both of these is enough to play with and design stuff. There's other questions but I think I'll just work it out on my own, thanks everyone.
