TODO: I’ll endeavour to walk through the BASIC of using Eleven on this page.
What is Eleven?
ELEVEN is a combined editor and preprocessor package which enhances BASIC10 by adding the following features:
variable declaration
variable names of arbitrary length
named labels instead of line numbers
$ and % prefixes for hexadecimal and binary integers
easy to read comments
easy to use 'EE' full screen text editor with preprocessor integration
automatic backup facility
ELEVEN consists of two main parts: The editor and the preprocessor itself. Both are working hand in hand in order to provide a simple and integrated development workflow.
Where to get it?
You’ve got two options:
a) Ubik’s Last Eleven v5.0
This is the state Ubik last left it. You can consider this the ‘stable’ version for now.
b) Latest improvements to Eleven
This version has had multiple improvements made over the prior version, described in the “README.md” file.
This version of Eleven is now an open-source project that all in the MEGA65 community are welcome to contribute to. The repository for it is here:

Here’s the current help screen. Needs to be updated with the extra shortcuts described in the “README.md” file.
Xemu-equivalent shortcut keys for Eleven
If you are running Eleven via the Xemu MEGA65 emulator, you may find that certain MEGA65 keys used by Eleven are awkward to type, due to Xemu making use of them already (e.g., Xemu uses F9 to exit xemu)
Here’s a table of Xemu-equivalent shortcut keys you can type instead
Xemu-key | MEGA65 key | Function |
---|---|---|
RightAlt + PageUp | HELP key | Help screen |
CTRL + P | F9 | Go to line |
RightAlt + C | F11 | Control mode |
CTRL + 5 | F11 | Control mode |
