Differences from the original Calculator app in Windows 98:
- It uses the math symbol font from the Windows 10 calculator app, instead of text like "sqrt". Minus and decimal point are easily distinguishable.
- MC and MR buttons are disabled when nothing is stored in memory
- Decimal point is not shown until you add one
- Scientific mode not supported yet
Bugs:
- Is there a race condition where script.js loads too late to define
initialiseforengine.jsto call? or is order guaranteed even withasyncsomehow? isasyncreally helping in some way? .memory-item .btns > *aren'tbuttons (and nesting buttons is a bad UI pattern, and nesting (real)buttons doesn't work in HTML)- There's a layout bug where the Backspace/CE/C buttons can be the wrong size and then they snap back to the right size when clicking or trying to inspect the elements. I think it only happens when changing the CSS with live-server though, so probably not a problem in production.
Todo:
- Display errors
- Scientific mode
- Right click -> What's this?
- woff in addition to ttf (could steal from uno or convert from ttf), or remove font and use shitty ASCII representation..?
- Improve Copy/Paste function availability using older clipboard access APIs? Like handle paste event? (keyboard only)
- Increase limit of digits you can enter, as it was longer in old Windows
- When pasting, handle operators, not just numbers and special colon commands
