It's a service that allows you to render on the screen outside of the app. Maybe with a bit of hacking you can get the offset of the menu, and what menu the phone is in. Then you can calculate the position of an app icon and render something there. Though it sounds like its not really gping to work very well.

Oh thats cool. I wish android had the possibility to have dynamic icons, though that would probably be too heavy :/

Can't you change the icons of apps that you create, though? Or do you mean icons that change based on certain guidelines? (eg if you got a new message the icon becomes red)

Yeah you can change the icon, but thats not suitable for continuous updating. That actually removes and reinstalls a shortcut. Would be a bit bad to do that 10 or more times a second.

Yeah it uses compression. I wonder if it's like RLE compression?

You were right. I'd compltetely forgotten there was compression in there. Yes, it was an RLE.

Sorry for the wrong info. Either way, don't use ICON. :-)

But what about storage? Because an RPG will grow fast at a dramatic rate with GROB >.<. I would rather sacrify 250 KB in ICON then temporarily copy them in a 10 MB GROB that will be cleared in my exit code than have a program permanently take 10 MB even when not running.

Besides, if ICON use is discouraged, then why did HP implement it in the first place in the 2nd firmware?

Me thinks Tim was talking about in an App

. Please correct if I am wrong

Temporary solution?

But then it would kinda suck if they encouraged people to use icon back then and that some programs got updated to use it, then HP ended up deciding to remove support for it in new firmwares. Many old programs would then stop working.

It's definitively nice to have it for storage. If it gets removed, then users will only be able to store about 10-50 mViewer pictures on their calc.

Yeah, I really like having custom names with ICONs, can you make custom GROB names?

Dream of Omnimaga · May 22, 2015, 04:09:59 PM

Nah we can't, sadly, but you can get around that by commenting code before your image data and stuff. It usually helps.

alexgt · May 22, 2015, 04:44:58 PM

That is sad... it would be nice if you could make vars and do:

Code Select

LOCAL TEST;
DIMGROB_P(TEST,320,240);

but you can't which is sad

Dream of Omnimaga · May 23, 2015, 03:33:06 AM

Yeah true. Oh well, I'm glad that at least this language is so fast. Minecraft scrolling speed definitively speaks for itself.

This will be worked on more once summer vacation starts and the 4x3 contest is over

.

Though in the summer I have two camps that I can't use access CW for a total of 3 weeks

. And also I can't use my calc

. Hopefully I will be able o remember what the heck I was doing with code after then...

Dream of Omnimaga · May 26, 2015, 11:54:34 AM

Lol I hope you return after the camp thing. Anyway glad that you still plan to work on this soon. I was wondering how it was progressing actually.
