In the TI-BASIC programming language (Specifically TI-84+), how do you create input forms, such as the ones included in the default apps on the TI-84+.
The image included here shows an example of what I'm trying to create: A menu that you can scroll through and input multiple variables freely before executing a function
Additionally, is it possible to make this menu dynamically-updating as variables are entered?
You've set a rather tall order for TI-Basic to fill. user3932000 is correct; there is no built in function to create an input form of the type you request.
However, there is nothing stopping you from creating an interactive interface yourself. Creating it from scratch will be a time consuming and, it will consume a significant amount of memory on your calculator. There is no boilerplate code you plug your variables into to get the results you want, but you might have some luck modeling it after this quadratic solver I wrote.

Here's a GIF of what it does for you.
With a little more work. This code could be used on the Graph screen instead of the home screen, giving more option in terms of layout and design.
In the TI-BASIC programming language (Specifically TI-84+), how do you create input forms, such as the ones included in the default apps on the TI-84+.
There are many ways to ask for input in your program:
Prompt: Asks for input and stores it in a variable. For example, Prompt A. Simplest way to ask for input, but not very visually appealing.
Input: Similar to the Prompt command, except that now you can include text within the input. For example, Input "What is your name?",A.
Menu(: Multiple choice input, and each choice is connected to a Lbl marker somewhere else in the script. Much like the error screen with the quit/goto choices that you've probably seen. For example, Menu("Are you a boy or a girl?","Boy",B,"Girl",G).
getKey: Checks if a certain key is pressed, and will output True (1) if that key is pressed. For example, getKey 105. See here for which numbers each key corresponds to.

I'm afraid that's not possible in programs. You can either put in multiple inputs, or you might be interested in looking into making apps instead.
Additionally, is it possible to make this menu dynamically-updating as variables are entered?
If you're talking about the text on top of the screenshot, yes you can; just put a Disp command or something after each line of Input, so that it continuously overwrites the text above with new text after you input a variable.

from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application().Start(cmd_line=u'"path to program" ')
afx = app[u'Afx:01360000:0']
afx.Wait('ready')
afxtoolbar = afx[u'1']
toolbar_button = afxtoolbar.Button(3)
toolbar_button.Click()
window = app.Dialog
window.Wait('ready')
edit = window.Edit4
edit.Click()
app.typekeys ("Success")
So at this point, I've gotten the application to open, the correct window to pop up and also a mouse click on the box that I want to populate with a short string. I cannot for the life of me, figure out how to pass keyboard input to this field. I have read all the docs for PyWinAuto, and nothing is helping...
Basically all I need to do is figure out how to send a string, and then how to send the TAB key six times. I can then finish my program to automate this application.
I am also using Swapy64bit to help. The program uses a win32 backend. I'm using Python 3.6.
Am I not prefixing typekeys correctly? The PyWinAuto documentation leaves much to be desired.
First the correct name of the method is type_keys, but assume you use it correctly.
The reason might be losing focus at the edit control because type_keys tries to set focus automatically. The solution is:
app.type_keys("Success{TAB 6}", set_foreground=True)
I've been googling for quite a long time and I just can't find any information on how to get screen_number for every screen connected to computer. Here I found a list of macros and some of them (like for example ScreenOfDisplay(display, screen_number) ) use argument screen_number. However there is no such macro that could give me a list of those numbers (one for every connected screen). I know how to get number of default screen (DefaultScreen() ) and count of all screens ( ScreenCount() ) but what about other screens? I noticed that screen_number of default screen is 0, although I have only one screen connected to my computer so I can't really test what happens when there are more of them. I think that screen_number could be assigned in a very simple way which is screen_number=0 for first screen,screen_number=1 for second,screen_number=2 for third and so on but as I said... I can't test wheather it's true and even if I had multiple screens how could I be sure that it works like this for all computers .Please ,if anyone of you has more experience with X11 and knows all details about how it works,tell me if I am right.
The ScreenCount(dpy) macro and int XScreenCount(Display*) function both return the number of screens connected to the display. Valid screen numbers are 0 to ScreenCount(dpy)-1. Macros in Xlib.h confirm:
#define ScreenCount(dpy) (((_XPrivDisplay)dpy)->nscreens)
#define ScreenOfDisplay(dpy, scr) (&((_XPrivDisplay)dpy)->screens[scr])
Your source (2.2.1. Display Macros) provides enough information. Normally the default screen-number is 0, e.g., when connecting to the local host you could use :0.0 as indicated in the documentation for XOpenDisplay.
That is "normally". If you run VNC, normally that runs on a different display (the first 0 in the simple connection string shown).
But (reading the documentation), when an application calls XOpenDisplay, it asks for the given screen-number (which the X server may/may not honor):
screen_number
Specifies the screen to be used on that server. Multiple screens can be controlled by a single X server. The screen_number sets an internal variable that can be accessed by using the DefaultScreen() macro or the XDefaultScreen() function if you are using languages other than C (see "Display Macros").
I've recently started Coding a program that will replace sound effects from a default directory, in the Source-Engine Game, Garry's Mod.
This is the current code:
function GM:PlayerFootstep( ply, pos, foot, sound, volume, rf )
ply:EmitSound("gear1")
return true
end
I want to emit multiple .wav Sound effects, without them overlapping, and being selected at random.
I have not found any Source helpful enough on the Internet to assist, so i resorted to Stack Overflow.
I would appreciate assistance with the topic.
You'll want to look at the file.Find function for this.
I'd recommend having a custom folder such as sound/customsteps/ where you can put all your custom sounds. I would also recommend using the .wav format for the sound files, but some others do work (.mp3 and .ogg if I recall correctly).
In your code, simply call local snds=file.Find( "sound/customsteps/*", "GAME" ) which gives you a table, then you can simply choose a random one from the list using local snd=snds[math.random(1,#snds)] and play it as you do in your above code - ply:EmitSound(snd).
Make sure you create the table of sounds outside of the GM:PlayerFootstep function, so that it only runs once. I would also recommend precaching all the sounds. You can do this by looping through the table and calling util.PrecacheSound(path) on them, like so:
for k,v in pairs(snds) do
util.PrecacheSound(v)
end
So, with all that in mind - your final code should look something like this:
local snds=file.Find( "sound/customsteps/*", "GAME" )
for k,v in pairs(snds) do
util.PrecacheSound(v)
end
function GM:PlayerFootstep( ply, pos, foot, sound, volume, rf )
ply:EmitSound(snds[math.random(1,#snds)])
return true
end

I'm writing code in .csh, and I'm trying to change the bunit header for a FITS file from K (kelvin) to km/s. How can I do that?
I know in Python I would use new_fitsfile.header['BUNIT']='km/s', but that won't work in the current .csh code, and it's not an option to switch it to Python code.
If this is needed only once, call interactively fv or ds9, move to the header, edit the header card and save the result.
For generic batch jobs, one needs some online FITS editor like fmodhead fmodhead, fthedit, or my fedithead
sed "s:BUNIT = 'K ':BUNIT = 'km/s ':g" old.fits >new.fits
and be very careful to count the significant spaces.
I'd like to use Applescript to connect to my remote website. However, I don't like the idea of having my password/username in my script in plain text. Is there anyway to encode a password in a local script on my computer?
Thank you,
Eric
Well you're not the first one that asks this question but you have to ask yourself some questions. Like who is gonna use it and from who do I need to protect it.
Step 1:
To make sure that your code is protected you should save two different kind of AppleScripts. The first one is for you, and you only. This version is compiled but be able to open with Script editor again so you can see the source code. The second is a run only script which is much like the first version but your not able to open it in Script editor again as a document to view it's source code.
step 2:
The second thing you don't want is that there is static text about user credentials because, even if it's compiled, you can see static text. Normally you won't see them but when the user credential is an mail address it's an easy find. But before we solve this issue, do you think someone is clever enough to find the user credentials from compiled AppleScript code? If so then the easiest way of encoding is adding a certain value to Unicode values:
property eusn : "¨®¦ÅÞÞÍÉ»ÅÞÞÍÉ"
property epwd : "ÔÅ××ÛÓÖÈ"
set usn to simpleDecryption(eusn)
set pwd to simpleDecryption(epwd)
on simpleEncryption(_str)
set x to id of _str
repeat with c in x
set contents of c to c + 100
end repeat
return string id x
end simpleEncryption
on simpleDecryption(_str)
set x to id of _str
repeat with c in x
set contents of c to c - 100
end repeat
return string id x
end simpleDecryption
Store statics as encrypted strings and when its needed, decrypt them. Remember that properties are persistent, unlike local variables, so don't store plain data in properties in your case.
