=Projects Under Development=
;Nostalgy, aka ReaktixOS, aka ReOS:new 3rd party operating system.
:currently being rewritten for compilation with [http://www.revsoft.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=652 Wabbitspasm]
:'''Current features:'''
:*Version: 0.2.4-usi
:*OS loader
:*IM1
::*poweroff/on
::*[ON]-hotkey menu
::*holding [ON] pauses the currently running routine/program until it is either released (which powersoff the calc) or until another key is pressed, which invokes that hotkey, if it exists.
::*[ON]+[+] raises the contrast and [ON]+[-] lowers the contrast
:*Task switching environment (tasks can be paused and resumed) (inspired by Radical Software's TSE, by Robin Kay, Michael Vincent)
::*5 tasks are supported (2 system tasks + 3 user tasks)
::*can continue a task from it's last PC or
::*can return to an address provided by the task
::*saves and restores registers for each task
::*saves and restores the stack for each task
:*system information screen: displays OS version, calc type, Boot Code version, Battery state
:*beginnings of a CLI, but no commands/input currently implemented
:*crude versions of a "run indicator"
:*Font:
::*4x5 fixed-width font
::Styles:
::*inverting
::*clipping
:*Sprite:
::*OR-ing
::*XOR-ing
::*clipping
::*masking
:'''Features already implemented, but not yet included:'''
:*Mathematical system calls
:*Grayscale: built-in 3,or 4-level grayscale support (based on Duck's grayscale programming package)
:*Audio
::*PlayWAV: built-in WAV playing capabilities
::*PlaySound: built-in sound effects
:*Media:
::*Sprites: scaling
:'''Planned features:'''
:*RAM integrity verification and erasure upon non-integrity detection
:*User interface: user-selected
::*TIOS Homepage-style command line interface
::*graphical user interface
:*Linking:
::*TIOS: TIOS-compatible routines
::*non-TIOS: non-TIOS compatible routines, which allow for faster connections due to data compression before sending, and decompression upon receiving
::*Networking: made capable by Timendus' CLAP
:*Compression/Decompression: built-in on-calc data compression/decompression routines with an assortment of different algorithms.
:*Grayscale:
::*user-adjustable interrupt speed (based on Duck's grayscale programming package, but the interrupt speed would be more acutely adjustable)
:*RAM
::*Executable RAM: user RAM programs would begin @ $8200, and thus allows for more executable RAM
::*Stack Space: 3KB reserved stack space
::*Data Management Table: VAT-like system for file management
::*Folder support: the user can create and manage folders both in RAM and ROM
::*Registry: System registry to allow for hook chaining
::*Multi-tasking(?): allow up to three programs to be running simultaneously on RAM page 1
:*ROM
::*Apps: Flash space would be allocated in 4K or 8KB sectors, depending on the user's choice. This would be made possible by having all APPS use only relative jumps/calls
:*Interrupts
::*IM 1 hook: system-supported, chainable
::*IM 2: system-supported, chainable routine
:*Media:
::*Video (like animated gifs?)
::*Video-Audio sync-ing (AVIs?)
:*Font:
::*4x5 variable-width font
::Styles:
::*grayscale
::*centering
::*word-wrap
::*bold
::*underline
:*Keypad-Input
::*"normal" keypad
::*qwerty-style keypad
::*user-remappable
:*External Hardware Drivers
::*PS/2 Keyboard Driver
::*PS/2 Mouse
