Lcars 5.0

Contents:
LCARS.82P

LCARS.82P - The Main Program File.  If you wish to run only LCARS 5.0, select this file.
LCARDEDT.82P - This is the file that allows to you edit Lcars.
LCARSTXT.82P - This is the text subroutine file.  Do not run this file.  It won't do anything anyway.



Lcars 5.0 is pretty much the same as 3.5 and 4.5.  It is just a whole lot smaller because the text subroutine is in a new file file that can easily be edited. And I have revamped the programming language. The main reason the program was so large to begin with is that I wanted to finish it quickly.  Now I have become obsessed with it. Lcars is my baby.  I would appreciate it if no one changed the main program file.  It pains programmers to see their file has been tampered with.  Mainly in the credit line.  I find it hard to believe that anyone would have the audacity to take credit for someone elses hard work.

Moving on...

Lcars Edit is a fairly strait-forward program.  You start the program.  At the menu, select edit Lcars.

When you get to the screen that looks like Lcars, you are in the text viewer screen.

The controls are easy.  You are by default in Letter Mode. You use the letter keys and the letters appear.  To switch to number mode, hit 2nd.  To delete text, hit the left arrow.  This will delete one pixel back at a time. Press 'MODE' when you are satisfied with the text.

Now you will be able to pick a key to use.  Press any key.  The number assigned to that particular key.  When you find the key that you want, remember the number.  Now press 'MODE'. *

The onscreen instructions now will tell you to press 'ON' and '1'.  Doing so will open the LCARSTXT.82P program to a point where instructions are located guiding you through the last part of the editing procedure.

The final step to editing the program is to put in the actual code.  This is a fairly simple step.  
 Here is the code you will use:

: If V=(The number of the key you selected)
: Text(17,22,"(Your text)")

Here is a sample

: If V=21
: Text(17,22,"THIS IS A SAMPLE")

Explanation

If V=21   //When the 2nd key is pressed
Text ...	//The message will display

If there doesn't appear to be enough room to add your edits, press "2nd" then "Del".  Now press "ENTER" a few times.  This will place several blank lines


When you have finished editing, press "2nd" and then press "MODE".  This will quit the program editor.

Now you may just press "ENTER".  Doing this will bring you right back to the LCARSEDT Menu.   There you may select to run LCARS.  

When the program starts, try out your edit!

Have fun.

To quit the program, press "MODE", this will prompt "EXIT (Y/N)"
The "Y" corresponds to the "Y" on the keypad, which just happens to be the "1" key.

By default, the only buttons that have text assigned to them are:
MODE
Up
Down
Left
Right
PRGM
VARS
CLEAR
TAN
