While the chances of importing/exporting our own code, graphics and audio from/to SD card is unlikely (mainly because of how that could open up unwanted access to the system), could there be an alternative means of importing/exporting? As it is, we can share our stuff among friends, and in the future there may be a site-wide means of sharing, but what if we used the site as a means of importing and exporting? Perhaps each registered user with a linked Switch got their own small personal storage space on the private server for uploading/downloading (done through the site), which each uploaded item gets reviewed to make sure it won't cause unintended results if used with FUZE4. Then if it passes, it becomes accessible to the maker on the Switch itself as if the storage space was like a unique friend sharing their stuff. Not a quick alternative, but an alternative nonetheless.

All I can say really is that we are well aware of the desire to expand on sharing / importing / exporting and it's an area that once we have the initial issues out of the way and under control I'm sure we will look at. As you've already mentioned however our hands can be a little tied in this area.

As for the specific suggestion, it's an interesting approach to add to the pot of ideas.

@seggiepants I think resizable arrays are already a thing. In one of my projects, I used something similar to the below

myArray = [0,1,2]

and later in the program used

myArray[3] = 3

Yeah, I figured that out today. Arrays can be expanded, but as far as I know there is no way to insert at index or remove at index

Keyboard Style: Could there be one where all the columns are linear? (Grid aligned, at least for the top 4 rows)

are you sure it isn't just array indexing being broken?

I can guarantee it. Working on an expandable struct array for a map made of rectangles and triangles. (Will send gif when off campus)

@ybasic I am sure it's working as intended, otherwise, I'd be having trouble with my implementation in my project. :)

Here's my wishlist: CRT filter like we have with Nintendo's NES/SNES Mini Classic devices :)

Eearslya

The ability to make our own variable-argumented functions, similar to how print and printAt can take any number of arguments.

Kat

@Tratax you're in luck! I don't know very much about it myself but we do have a CRT shader :) check these help pages for the info

@Eearslya This will very helpfoul, but sometimes some flexibility in types for function arguments helps to not have to implement overloads which are essentially the same code just with the types changed

Eearslya

@ITzTravelInTime I think you misunderstand, I wasn't asking for functions that can only take specific variable TYPES, but for functions that can take a variable NUMBER of arguments.
e.g. printAt(0, 0, var1, var2, var3, ...)

MikeDX

@Eearslya we do need that for sure!

Discostew

@Eearslya Well, you can kinda do it right now using an array.

count = myargs( 0, 0, [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] )

function myargs( item1, item2, itemarr )
return len(itemarr)

ITzTravelInTime

@Eearslya I see thank you for the clarification

Tratax

@Kat That, is amazing - I'm heading home on the train and cant wait to get on the switch and try this out! Sorry, I should have searched before assuming it wasn't built in haha

Kat

@Tratax No worries!

Dave

@Tratax whilst you can't discern much form the very short clip size limit on the Switch's upload feature, I did a little video using a CRT shader on some maths patterns, you might get an idea for parameter values from it - you can make some truly bizarre effects with it!

I'll give this a try.

We need an elseif or elif

if (a) then
    // do a
elseif (b) then
    // do b
else
    // do else
endif

I'd also like to see a switch case someday. Might look like this.

switch (expression)
    case value-1
        // do this
        break
    case value-2
        // do this
        break
    default
        // do this
endswitch

@_JKDOS As you already know, the latter of those two is on the list of things to come. The first is unlikely. But, request noted.
