240x136 (6x6 pixel font with lowercase)

160x102 (6x4 pixel font)

I find the new font way less readable, especially the lowercase characters.

My eyes are bleeding on all versions of the font :) but with new font and display resolution we have some advantages like more space for editing, lowercase characters and etc...

I think it's just a matter of habit.

Thanks.

I love the previous version, looks retro cool

A suggestion: show the command history using the up arrow key.

Will be added with the next version, thanks.

There's a weird bug with the code editor where when you click somewhere in your code, then type a single character, the last character/space you were just in, or the last character you just typed, is selected. It makes it weird when trying to click back and edit some lines of code because you accidentally delete the first character of whatever you just typed.

Thanks for the report.

Can you release a separate version with the old font and no lowercase?

NesboxDeveloper7 years ago

Unfortunately no, it's difficult to support both versions with different fonts.

I like old version too but most of people voted for the new 6x6 font https://twitter.com/tic_computer/status/7883145997... :)

How to file I/O?

NesboxDeveloper7 years ago

TIC computer doesn't support file I/O, but you can store data to the cart memory using 'poke' API function and then save the cart.

Just interesting why do you need file i/o?
