Hi,

A lot of programs that I have tested do have different interfaces and ways of being operated.
I'm thinking that we should try to make most apps work in the same basic way.
The programs should work as CASIO's software that is already on the calc.

• Do not force users to wait while displaying some startup screen.
• Let users choose between different tasks using the F1-F6 buttons.
• You should let users see credits and copyright stuff as one of those tasks (F6 ?).
• EXIT should bring users one step up in the application (up to the programs menu)
• MENU is used to get to the CASIO OS menu from anywhere in the app(GetKey()).

Any comments, suggestions for other points?

That sounds good. I wonder though, how many people will try to follow these guidelines.

it looks like a good idea, but with the menu - menu thingy. What if the person who made the game used Rev-FX's serial port. That makes the calc freeze if it doesn't user Reset Calc.
Unless there is a way to use GetKey so when you push Menu it doesn't go straight to the menu.
