TI-Basic editing

[mateoconlechuga]

Since we already have the ti_vars_lib integrated; making a simple editor for basic shouldn't be too much of a challenge... Would be kind of nice to be able to write things directly and then test them.

Yeah, I can probably take care of that.

Alright, this should be much easier now that we removed the basically pointless -fno-exceptions...

I like the syntax-highlighted program viewer! See this issue is old, so guessing editing not forthcoming. Any suggestions on practical alternatives? I'm guessing program file transfer on/off the emulator, however I was noticing the file format for exported program files didn't seem very amenable to editing.

Hmm, yes, it hasn't really been a priority ; it might come back on the TODO list when the rewrites are finished (currently, both core and GUI are undergoing exciting rewrites).

In the meantime, you can use any editor you'd like as long as it (or you, manually) can export to an 8xp.

• Specialized code editors that do it: TI Connect CE, SourceCoder, TokenIDE
• Tools/converters to use alongside your IDEs or whatever else you might use to edit code: tivars_lib_cpp (which I wrote, and what CEmu uses. it also has a CLI interface so it's easy enough to call and script transferring the file automatically to CEmu/a calculator), ane I'm not sure I remember any other...?

Great, thank you!
